What Miami Lakes hosts get
What a Miami Lakes gathering actually involves
We are based about 3 miles from Miami Lakes, so booking a mobile bar here involves no travel calculation on our end. It involves your run sheet, your guest count, and what you want standing behind the bar.
Hialeah Gardens sits about 2 miles from Miami Lakes, with Country Club and Opa-locka following. Worth knowing while you are choosing a venue for a gathering, because a room just over the line is priced exactly like a room in town.
Because Miami Lakes is its own city, the rules that shape a gathering here are local ones: how late music may run, where a truck may stand, whether the space needs booking in its own right. We would far rather know the constraint than discover it on the day.
Booking a mobile bar in Miami Lakes starts from your timeline rather than ours — when doors open, when the food lands, when the bar goes quiet for speeches, and where last call should sit. The staffing and the menu are built around that.
Setup starts roughly 1 hour ahead of your start time, and we hold that against your run sheet rather than our own. If the ceremony, the speeches or the entrance move, the bar moves with them.
You can have a price for your Miami Lakes gathering before you finish your coffee, and a held date shortly after. Everything above is what happens between those two moments.
How far will you travel for a Miami Lakes gathering?
Miami Lakes is about 3 miles from where we load, and we cover the whole of Miami-Dade. The distance shapes our morning, not your rate — bartending is $85/hour with a 3-hour minimum.
Hialeah Gardens, Country Club and Opa-locka are on the same run, so a venue just over the line is no different to book.
Can the bar go outdoors for a Miami Lakes gathering?
Usually, and most of ours do. Let us know the surface and whether there is shade — a bar on grass and a bar on a patio are built differently.
Ice and coolers are portioned to your guest count either way, so the drinks stay cold from setup through to last call.
Are your bartenders licensed and insured?
Yes, on every booking. If your Miami Lakes venue wants a certificate, ask and we will send it across.
The crew is on site about 1 hour before service and dresses to whatever code the gathering calls for.
What if my Miami Lakes guests want something not on the menu?
Within reason the bar can handle it — the mixers, juices and garnish we bring cover a good deal more than the printed list.
If there is a drink that really matters to you, tell us early and we will make sure the ingredients are on the truck.
How long does breakdown take after a gathering?
Less time than setup. The bar comes down, everything goes back on the truck, and the space is left as we found it.
If your venue has a hard curfew, tell us and we will work backwards from it rather than from last call.
How much does a gathering in Miami Lakes cost?
From $85/hour with a 3-hour minimum, around $255 at the floor. The hours, the guest count and what you have us bring do the rest.

YD Cocktails is spectacular to work with. From the very first consultation, to the follow up by Yovana, to the smallest details and questions they asked. All to ensure that every detail was in place, and it was customized for us, family, and friends. From the display menu to the specialty drinks for the house. The drinks were as appealing to the eye as they were to drink Phenomenal presentation and taste. I don’t think Yovana and David had a chance to stop all night. I swear !!!! Even with that they served all kinds of shots and Cuba Libre (Mentirita) on the dance floor to keep the party going. The attention to detail and professionalism is second to none. I asked to add an extra hour at the very last minute as the guest didn’t want them to leave and that was not a problem whatsoever. Delighted and so happy I went with YD Cocktails. HIGHLY HIGLY RECOMMEND !!!!
