So I thought those of you mobile bartending business new comers might be interested in knowing how I transport my
Flairco Portable Bar and everything that I need for my gigs.
I own a 2004 Toyota Matrix. Base model. Manual transmission. It was purchased used and in pretty rough shape back in 2012. The previous owner was a dog owner so the interior stunk like dog, had enough hair in it to make 3 more dogs, and was left outside with the windows down to "air" out. Which also meant the elements could get in. The front window was cracked, the only key that worked with the car was the ignition key, and lots of the pieces of the car needed repair or replacement. Luckily I'm and automotive professional by trade so I took care of all the repairs myself.
Pictures at purchase.
 |
| Dog smell interior and lots of hair. |
 |
| Dents and dings everywhere. |
 |
| Body damage |
 |
| Missing pieces and non functional handles, locks, etc. |
 |
| GROSS |
 |
| Broken windshield, not good. |
Car today-
 |
| Clean, shiny, tinted windows so no once sees my gear. |
 |
| After steam cleaning, and complete disassembly for cleaning, I installed covers. |
 |
| Much more enjoyable to drives. Smells good too. |
- Once I started my mobile bartender for hire business I used my awesome little car to transport everything. Luckily, over the years I have gotten the packing down to a near science. I can haul enough supplies to bartend for parties of 50 - 250 guests.
- I place my bar kit on the floor behind the passenger seat. This is to stabilize the Folding Table 6ft I place behind the seats next.
- Next I place the

behind the passenger seat.
I know the picture shows drivers seat but I have since refined how I do it. The passenger seat can be slide forward and tilted to allow more space. The drivers seat can't because I don't like to be squished while driving. I can place 2
Folding Table 6ft
behind the seat. Behind the drivers seat I put my trash can with my
citrus juicer
in it and trash bags. (not pictured)
I then place my large
Igloo Quick & Cool Cooler (150 qt)
marine ice chest behind the front two seats, on top of the folded back seats.
On the passenger front seat I use to place
Ice Bucket
s with my water dispenser stored inside.
