Most Atlanta bartending companies don’t publish their prices. We do, and we looked at what the rest of the market charges so you can compare.
In 2026, hiring a mobile bartender in metro Atlanta typically costs:
The industry standard is about one bartender per 50 guests for cocktails and one per 75 for beer and wine, with a barback once you pass 100 guests.
| Guests | Full bar / cocktails (1 per 50) | Beer & wine only (1 per 75) | Barback |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 50 | 1 bartender | 1 bartender | — |
| 51–75 | 2 bartenders | 1 bartender | — |
| 76–100 | 2 bartenders | 2 bartenders | Yes at 100 |
| 101–150 | 3 bartenders | 2 bartenders | Yes |
| 151–200 | 4 bartenders | 3 bartenders | Yes |
Most packages include 5 hours of bar service. Extra time is usually billed per bartender, per hour. Setup and breakdown should be included, not billed.
Ask whether mixers, garnish, ice, cups, and a shopping list are included or extra. At Le’Pour, every package includes two named signature cocktails, a mocktail for every guest, mixers and garnish, and your shopping list.
Most Atlanta companies include 30–50 miles of travel. We include 40 miles and charge $2/mile beyond, calculated from your venue ZIP.
Atlanta deposits run 30–50%, with 50% the most common. Ours is 30% or $250, whichever is greater.
In Georgia, bartending companies can’t sell you alcohol, so you’ll buy it separately at retail. Budget roughly $12–$20 per drinking guest for a full bar. See how much alcohol to buy for 100 guests.
