WE’RE NOT SHY

Here are some of our frequently asked questions.

Q: Do you have any technical OR LOCATION requirements?

We need a standard 110v plug with a dedicated 15 amp circuit to operate the draft system and refrigeration. We can work with your AV team to ensure the venue has the power we need to operate smoothly! We require a flat and level surface on gravel, grass or pavement, so the trailer is supported throughout your service. Since Toby isn’t a spring chicken anymore, we cannot operate on hills, peaks or valleys.

Q: Do you SELL ALCOHOL?

Liquor laws in Canada don’t allow the sale of alcohol from a mobile vehicle (insert sad face here). The person hosting the event is responsible for purchasing the alcohol and acquiring a Special Events/Occasion Permit from the LCBO so we can legally dispense any alcoholic beverages. However, we can help you order and purchase any kegs or bottled beverages through our vendors and even pick up and drop off kegs before and after your event for an additional fee!

Q: WHAT KEG SIZES CAN YOU SERVE?

Based on the size and configuration of our trailer, we can only accommodate 20L or 30L kegs. We are unable to serve anything larger. Please consult with our team before placing your keg orders, we are happy to help you choose what will work best!

Q: WHAT’S A SPECIAL OCCASIONS PERMIT?

A Special Occasions Permit (SOP) allows for the sale and service of alcohol on special occasions, such as cash bars at weddings or private receptions, as well as larger public events. A SOP is required any time alcohol is  served anywhere other than in a licensed establishment or a private residence. Learn more here.

Q: WHAT DO WE NEED TO BOOK YOU?

To reserve the Tipsy Turny Trailer, we ask for a 50% deposit along with a signed contract. The remaining balance is due no later than 7 days prior to your event date. If your event is short notice (less than 30 days before event date), the full payment outlined in the contract is due upfront. 

Q: WE WANT TO USE GLASSWARE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE?

Due to the small footprint of our trailer we are unable to accommodate multiple types of glassware for a full night of bar service. However, we are able to accommodate specialty glassware for a set signature cocktail depending on guest count. We use high quality recyclable plastic glassware for all other service.

Q: HOW WILL WE KNOW WHAT TO BUY?

Once we know more about your event we will give you a shopping list based on your guest count and estimated consumption.

Q: HOW BIG IS TOBY?

Toby is a whopping 13.5 ft long (including the hitch), 6.5 ft wide and 8 ft tall. Don’t let his size fool you though - he packs a punch with the most draft taps of any mobile bar in Southern Ontario. 

Q: DO YOU CHARGE FOR TRAVEL?

The first 25km of travel comes free! After 25km we charge $1.00/km to and from each event. If your event is super duper far away please get in touch so we can provide a quote.
