Mobile Bars for Outdoor Parties
If you own a bar, pub, tavern, or restaurant, you know that beer-and-beverage service is one of the biggest sources of income for any of these establishments. But you don't need to limit the serving of beer, beverage, and liquor to your own bar - you can actually take your bar to your customers and patrons! With the help of our portable bars, you can go where the party is and get even more opportunities to serve beer, other beverages, and liquors or cocktails. Our mobile bars are durable, easy to put up, and cleaning is a breeze.
Our portable bars are not limited to those businessmen who own their own bar, pub, tavern, or restaurant. If you are looking for a portable bar just for your own use so you can enjoy your friends' or family's company while having drinks during an outdoor picnic or party, we invite you to take a look at our portable bars.
Choose from a large selection of portable bars from Cambro and Carlisle. Cambro has fifty-five years' experience in the beverage and food-service industry and not only manufactures portable bars but also other food and beverage equipment. Carlisle, on the other hand, has been providing quality food-service, bar-and-beverage, sanitary-maintenance, and dinnerware products worldwide for many years now.
Beverage Tubs, Beer Tubs, or Ice Tubs
There are many different ways of chilling beer at home or in commercial establishments like bars, restaurants, pubs, and taverns. In turn, there are a lot of ways of keeping beer cold in outdoor picnics and parties as well.
For instance, kegerators are specifically used to chill beer kegs indoors. For outdoor chilling of beer in kegs, there are keg jackets and keg blankets that help keep an already-chilled keg beer cool but will not make it any colder.
However, the easiest way of keeping beer and other beverages cold is by keeping them in ice. With this said, we believe that the best way to keep your beer or other beverage completely chilled and cold outdoors for you or your customers' enjoyment is by utilizing beer tubs and ice tubs. An advantage of using a beverage bucket tub is that - unlike using any other container to store your beverages or beer, which can get damaged - our beverage/beer tubs and ice tubs are guaranteed durable and are designed to keep lots of ice along with your beer and other beverages.

Overview of Mobile Bars & Beverage Tubs Matter
Mobile bars and beverage tubs provide flexible solutions for beverage service in restaurants, hotels, banquet facilities, and outdoor venues. Instead of limiting service to a fixed bar area, these portable options allow drinks to be served wherever the event is happening, from a ballroom to a rooftop patio. They are especially useful for catered events, weddings, and festivals, where guests expect fast, professional service but the space may not have a permanent bar setup.
The combination of a mobile bar and beverage tubs creates a complete beverage station. A mobile bar gives staff a professional workspace with compartments for liquor bottles, mixers, glassware, and utensils. Beverage tubs complement this by keeping bottled beer, wine coolers, canned cocktails, or soft drinks chilled and easy to access. Together, they increase efficiency, reduce crowding around fixed service areas, and make events feel more polished and organized.
These solutions are valued for their:
- Flexibility – adaptable to both indoor and outdoor events.
- Professional image – structured stations improve the appearance of service areas.
- Practicality – easy to clean, transport, and store when not in use.
- Scalability – multiple bars or tubs can be combined to handle large groups.
Portable Bars
A mobile bar gives you the flexibility of a fully equipped beverage station without the need for permanent installation. Built on a stable frame with wheels or casters, these bars are designed for easy setup, movement, and storage. They are especially popular for catered events, banquets, weddings, hotel functions, and outdoor gatherings, where the ability to quickly create a professional drink station is essential.
Most mobile bars include practical features such as built-in ice bins, speed rails for liquor bottles, compartments for glassware, and shelves for mixers or tools. Some even offer cutting boards and garnish holders so bartenders can prepare cocktails on the spot. By keeping everything organized in one compact unit, staff can serve guests efficiently while maintaining a polished appearance.
Benefits of mobile bars include:
- Easy mobility with locking wheels or casters.
- Professional organization for liquor, mixers, and glassware.
- Versatility for indoor or outdoor use.
- Attractive appearance that enhances event presentation.
- Increased efficiency for bartenders and staff.
Mobile bars come in different sizes and styles, from compact foldable bars for casual gatherings to large, freestanding units with decorative panels suitable for upscale venues. Choosing the right model depends on the type of event, expected guest count, and beverage selection being offered.
With their blend of function and style, mobile bars are an excellent investment for both businesses and individuals looking to elevate beverage service.
Beverage Carts & Merchandisers
Beverage tubs are one of the most versatile tools for keeping drinks cold and accessible. Unlike refrigeration units, they don’t require electricity, making them perfect for outdoor events, catered functions, and temporary setups. These tubs are built to hold ice and a large number of bottles or cans, ensuring that guests always have access to chilled beverages.
Constructed from durable materials such as stainless steel, heavy-duty plastic, or insulated polyethylene, beverage tubs are designed to withstand frequent use while maintaining their cooling performance. Many come with molded handles, elevated stands, or built-in drains for easier handling and cleanup. Their simple yet effective design makes them suitable for restaurants, bars, event venues, and backyard parties alike.
Advantages of beverage tubs include:
- No electricity required, making them ideal for outdoor use.
- Durable construction built to handle heavy loads of ice and drinks.
- Variety of sizes to suit small parties or large events.
- Easy to transport, fill, and drain after use.
- Suitable for both self-service and staff-assisted setups.
Available in a variety of shapes and sizes, beverage tubs can be used for everything from small gatherings to large-scale events. Smaller tubs work well for tabletops or behind-the-bar service, while oversized tubs can be positioned as a central drink station. Whether filled with bottled water, beer, canned cocktails, or soft drinks, beverage tubs are a reliable solution for keeping beverages cold and organized.
When paired with mobile bars, beverage tubs complete a full-service beverage station, ensuring both mixed drinks and pre-packaged beverages are served quickly and efficiently.
