The simple version is that we are five neighbors turned friends who had an idea, and became business partners once we bought our very authentic 1971 Airstream in the Fall of 2022. The long version is the full experience that came along with creating Maryland Mobile Bars. Our work was cut out for us by performing a full renovation top to bottom. Our dream was to restore a 50yr old exterior, add that beautiful shine that the 1970s aluminum was capable of, and build a full lounge inside that was welcoming and entirely unique, worthy of any celebration. After 7 months of hard work, we finished Cocktails and Streams. We launched with our first event in May 2023, huzzah! The Tuk-tuk was added to our fleet in June 2023 which served the purpose of appealing to smaller events that were also looking for something special, or to be an add-on to the Airstream for the biggest of events.
It takes a village to start a business and ours is no different. A huge thank you to our families for putting up with us as we started a brand new venture. Thanks to our friends and colleagues who continue to help us as needed in all areas of this business.
Maryland Mobile Bars has turned into a passion that the five of us are fully committed to and a business we enjoy working to be better at everyday. We appreciate the support and patience from our families, our community, and our partners as we continue to navigate this space and how to be an exciting part of it. This venture is one that we didn't know we needed until it happened and now that we have it, it is our promise to our clients to deliver the best experience possible from start to finish. Everything we do, truly is...perfectly crafted for you. Cheers!
