Private party bartender in Portland

The house is yours. The bar is ours. Guests remember the pour and the ease.

Hospitality at the scale of a living room

Private parties fail when the host becomes the staff. Ember & Elixer takes the bar — menu, ice, garnish, timing — so you can greet people at the door instead of measuring bitters in the kitchen.

Evenings we pour for

  • Birthday and anniversary dinners
  • Holiday gatherings and New Year’s
  • Engagement parties and rehearsal dinners
  • Small clubs of friends who want a proper cocktail hour

Menus stay short on purpose. Four drinks, made well, beat twelve drinks made in a panic. If you want a single signature and a perfect Old Fashioned, that is a complete evening.
