Just Past the Bar IS the party

I’ve had the great privilege to have Kris as a client of mine for many years and further lucky to now call him a friend. Recently we switched roles and I became the client of his for a dinner party at my house and was so impressed to see him work. Kris IS the party! His knowledge, skill, customer approach, care and attention is honestly second to none. Kris and his team have absolutely become a staple of my dinner parties and work events and I highly encourage everyone to add something different and cool to their special events and even smaller gatherings, you won’t regret it.

Five star!!

Just wanted to leave a shoutout for Kris !
We hired him for our family gathering and he was absolutely amazing! Fun, friendly, and full of energy from start to finish. His creative menu of delicious signature drinks was a huge hit . Every one is still talking about his cocktails! What really stood out was how responsible he was all night. He kept the drinks flowing while making sure everyone was enjoying themselves safely, and he handled the crowd effortlessly. Punctual, well-prepared, and left the bar area spotless. If you're thinking about booking him for your event, do it—you won't regret it. Highly recommend and would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Whiskey & Wildflowers at Marion Estates

We had the pleasure of teaming up with Kris the owner of Justthebar. He was the perfect fit for our event, personable, punctual, responsive and his drinks are on point. Our guests loved his vibe and all of his curated drinks. Kris scheduled a time to set a drink menu, very detailed. His passion shows from start to end! He’s already booked for our Christmas Social event!!
