Every bartender receives a kit & bar bag valued at $60. These are the essential tools of the trade.

🏡 At Home vs. On the Road

Extra room for your own personal tools (if you have preferences).

At home: You may use the provided bar stand to store your kit neatly and practice recipes. It’s a great display piece and keeps everything accessible.

On the road (Bartend LI events): Always bring the travel bag. It ensures:

Clean and professional look when arriving.

Tools are packed securely and ready for service.

Consistency across all bartenders (clients see our standard).

Tips for Use:

• Shaker: Always seal firmly, break with a tap.
• Jigger: Measure accurately — consistency builds trust.
• Strainer: Always strain shaken drinks; don’t let ice chips fall in.
• Bar spoon: Stir in a circular, smooth motion.

Inside your travel bag, you’ll find our standard event kit essentials:

• 2 pour spouts (fits standard bottles)
• Boston shaker (tin + glass)
• Jigger (2-sided for accurate pours)
• Strainer (Hawthorne style)
• Bar spoon/stirrer
• Muddler
• Wine key
• Tongs (for garnishes and ice)

At Bartend Long Island, presentation is just as important as the cocktails we serve. That’s why every bartender receives a professional travel bar bag. This bag is designed to keep your tools organized, clean, and ready for any private event.

When you’re working with us, you’ll bring this travel bag to each event. It not only protects your tools, but it also gives a uniform, professional appearance when you arrive and set up — no mismatched tool rolls, no loose gear. Clients notice details, and this polished look is part of what sets Bartend LI apart.
