The Emerald Coast isn't just a wedding destination. Every year, hundreds of companies bring their teams here for off-sites, leadership retreats, sales kickoffs, and holiday parties. And when 40 colleagues show up at a Sandestin conference center or a Miramar Beach house rental, someone has to figure out the bar.
That's where PourCoast comes in. We're the portable bar service built for the Emerald Coast — fully equipped, professionally staffed, and set up wherever your event is happening. No venue bar required. No catering company markup. Just a clean, well-run bar that lets your people actually enjoy the event.
The Corporate Events We Handle
PourCoast works with companies of all sizes on the full range of corporate and private events:
Corporate Retreats
Multi-day off-sites at beach house rentals, resort properties, and private venues along Destin, Sandestin, and 30A. We handle the welcome reception, dinner service, and any hosted bar hours during the event.
Holiday Parties
Year-end company parties and team celebrations. Open bar service for 25–150 guests. Full setup, glassware, premium spirits, and a bartender who keeps the line moving so no one waits three drinks behind their manager.
Team Building Events
Happy hour receptions before or after team activities. Whether it's an afternoon on the water or a group dinner at a rental, a hosted bar turns a scheduled event into something people actually talk about.
Retirement & Milestone Parties
Retirement celebrations, promotions, and company anniversaries. These deserve a real bar — not a cooler of beer. Custom cocktail menus, styled bar setup, and the kind of service that matches the moment.
Corporate Bar Packages & Pricing
PourCoast's three packages work equally well for corporate events as they do for weddings. The structure is identical — what changes is the menu style and the scale:
| Package | Starting Price | What's Included | Best Corporate Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| BYOB Bartender | $250 base | Bartender, portable bar, glassware, ice, mixers, garnishes, setup & teardown. Company supplies the alcohol. | Budget-controlled events, company-supplied alcohol, smaller teams (20–35) |
| Premium Bar | $500 base | Everything in BYOB plus beer, wine, spirits, and 3 custom cocktails — named or themed for your event if you like. | Holiday parties, client entertainment, mid-size teams (25–60) |
| All-Inclusive | $850 base | Top-shelf spirits, craft beer, premium wines, full cocktail menu, 2 bartenders at 50+ guests, styled bar setup. | Executive retreats, client appreciation events, large company gatherings (50–150+) |
Base pricing covers up to 25 guests and 3 hours. Additional guests are billed per-person ($8–$22 depending on package), and additional hours are billed by the hour ($75–$175). For most corporate events in the 40–80 guest range, total cost lands between $600 and $1,200 — significantly less than venue-operated bars and full-service catering.
What Goes Into a Corporate Bar Setup
A PourCoast corporate bar service includes everything your event needs from arrival to last call:
- Portable bar unit — freestanding, styled for the space, works indoors and outdoors on any surface.
- Professional bartender — trained, dressed appropriately for a professional setting, customer-service focused.
- Glassware or premium cups — we bring glassware for sit-down events, high-quality disposable cups for outdoor or casual settings.
- Ice, coolers, and storage — enough for the full event. No running out at hour two.
- Mixers, garnishes, and bar tools — full cocktail-capable setup, not a hotel minibar.
- Non-alcoholic options — sparkling water, juice, mocktail capability for all guests.
- 90-minute advance setup — we're fully operational before the first guest arrives. No scrambling.
- Complete teardown and cleanup — bar is removed, area is clean. Nothing for your team to handle at the end of the night.

Venue Flexibility Across the Emerald Coast
PourCoast's portable bar service works at every corporate venue type on the Emerald Coast:
- Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort — private villa rentals, conference spaces, outdoor terraces
- Large beach house rentals — pool decks, covered patios, interior living spaces throughout Destin and 30A

We don't require a specific venue or venue partnership. If you can bring 30 people together somewhere on the Emerald Coast, we can run the bar there.
