Event bar planner
Plan the bar from the crowd—not from a guess at bottles.
The Top Pour’s Event Bar Planner turns guest count, service time, drinking pace, bar style, planning buffer, and cocktail choices into practical quantities and a working shopping list.
Build the event plan
Start with the information that changes demand.
- Name the event and choose the type: private party, wedding, birthday, corporate event, backyard gathering, or another format.
- Enter the guest count, event length, and expected drinking pace.
- Select the bar style and a sensible planning buffer.
- Choose up to four signature cocktails when cocktails are part of the menu.
- Build quantities for planned drinks, bottles, beer, wine, ice, garnishes, cups or glasses, napkins, and recipe-based ingredients.
- Copy the shopping list or save the plan for later review.
A working estimate
Use the plan as a starting point, then apply bartender judgment.
Crowd behavior, weather, pour size, venue rules, service style, local alcohol laws, product availability, and last-minute guests can all change actual demand.
The planner provides estimates, not guarantees. Verify all quantities and legal/service requirements, and use responsible-service judgment for the specific event.
