Last reviewed: August 12, 2026. Scotch&Soda Mobile Bar is an Alberta-based provider of a trailer-based bar and bartending service for weddings and other events. The official site identifies service across Edmonton, Red Deer, Calgary and surrounding areas, while also describing the trailer as ready for Central Alberta events.

For couples seeking a mobile bar rental in Central Alberta, the business publishes practical details that can help with early planning: standard inclusions, published starting prices, travel terms, trailer dimensions, power needs and the process for requesting a customized quote. Availability for a particular wedding date is not independently confirmed and should be checked directly.

Services and specialization

Scotch&Soda’s central offering is a converted cargo-trailer mobile bar. The official description lists a six-foot serving window, commercial glass-door beer cooler and kegerator, along with a portable water system that includes water and holding tanks, a pump and a hot-water heater for the sink.

The company specifically lists weddings and special events among the occasions it serves. Its published rental inclusions cover the mobile bar unit, setup, takedown and cleanup, professional bartenders, standard mixers, citrus garnishes, ice, clear plastic drinkware, napkins, straws, a self-serve water station, basic bar décor and barware/supplies. A customized acrylic or Plexiglas bar menu is also listed as a standard inclusion.

The official site also describes consultation on alcohol purchasing and bar-menu planning. Signature cocktails, “His and Hers” cocktails and themed details are discussed as items to raise while a quote is being prepared.

Service area and who it may suit

The official site says Scotch&Soda serves Edmonton, Red Deer, Calgary and surrounding areas, and refers to Central Alberta events. This makes it relevant to couples whose venue is in those named areas or nearby; confirm whether the specific venue falls within the business’s travel plan before booking.

A trailer bar may suit weddings held at venues, private properties, acreages or other spaces that do not already have a built-in bar. The company also offers a stationary/portable Gold bar option for venues without room for the trailer. That alternative starts at $150 for bar rental only, according to the official pricing page.

The trailer is approximately 14 feet long, six feet wide and eight feet tall. Couples should share venue access, parking, placement and site-layout information before relying on either bar format.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented features include a commercial beer cooler, kegerator and portable sink system. The official site also states that the team provides certified and insured bar staff, and its FAQ says staff are ProServe trained. These are published service features, not independent performance endorsements.

The main practical limitation is site infrastructure. Scotch&Soda says the mobile bar needs one available power outlet on its own circuit for essential equipment. If power is unavailable, a generator can be added; extra equipment such as espresso machines, slush machines or space heaters may require additional power planning.

The business states that it cannot legally purchase alcohol for the event under AGLC rules. The event holder is responsible for obtaining the liquor licence and purchasing alcohol, while Scotch&Soda can provide planning guidance. Couples should confirm all licence, venue and alcohol-purchase responsibilities for their own event.

Pricing

Published mobile-bar starting prices are $1,175 plus GST for four or more hours, $1,325 plus GST for six or more hours and $1,475 plus GST for eight or more hours. The business says quotes are customized around guest count, service hours and bar-menu requirements.

Published add-ons are additional bar staff at $30 per hour, generator rental with fuel at $150, travel beyond the included 25 kilometres at $1.25 per kilometre, and a stationary/portable bar at $150. Signature drinks are listed at $1.50 per guest for each selected cocktail type.

These are starting figures and do not replace an event-specific written quote. Confirm travel distance, applicable tax, service duration, staffing, add-ons, deposit and any venue-related costs before making a commitment.

Contact and booking

The confirmed official contact route is info@scotchsoda.bar, with a quote form on the company website. No current telephone number is published here because none was located on the confirmed official pages reviewed.

The site outlines a four-step process: submit an inquiry, receive a quote based on event details, sign a contract and provide a deposit to secure the date, then complete a planning consultation about two months before the event. Its FAQ states that a $500 deposit is requested at booking and that the final balance is due 14 days before the event; confirm these terms in the current contract.

Include the wedding date, venue location, expected guest count, service hours, desired menu and whether power is available when requesting a quote. This will help the business assess the suitable setup and any travel or generator requirements.

What couples should confirm

Confirm date availability, the service area for your venue, exact travel charges, whether the trailer or stationary bar is appropriate for the site, and the final staffing plan. Ask the venue about trailer access, placement, parking, electrical access and any restrictions on outside bar providers.

Request a written scope that identifies what is included in the quote, the alcohol and liquor-licence responsibilities, bar format, menu, glassware, power plan, insurance documentation if required by the venue, payment schedule and cancellation or change terms. Confirm the total price, including GST and all applicable add-ons, before paying a deposit.
