Life’s Milestones Meet Meaningful Moments

The Parlor: Thoughtfully Designed and Customized Beverage Experiences… Anywhere

Life unfolds through a series of milestones including birthdays, promotions, engagements, farewells and reunions. Some are planned, while others are unexpected. But the common thread is how these moments bring people together. It’s in those gatherings that life becomes shared, celebrated and remembered.

The Parlor is designed for exactly those moments, whether hosted for a class in their space or brought to yours.

Sharing a Drink

Throughout human history, libations have showed up as social catalysts, transcending mere consumption to become essential elements in community building, ritual, and celebration. From ancient times to the modern era, sharing a drink has consistently served as a bridge for connection.

The Parlor doesn’t live in just one place. It’s a bar that moves with the moment, designed to show up where life happens: at backyard weddings, milestone birthdays, rooftop toasts and other special gatherings. From the first clink of glassware to the final pour, the experience is intentional—crafted not just to serve drinks, but to elevate the occasion. The Parlor brings this to life with their fleet of multiple personalities on wheels, each offering their own charm and purpose.

Mobile Bars + Bartenders 

Ruby is a beautifully restored tiny home that has been transformed into a cozy, intimate bar on wheels. She offers a uniquely inviting atmosphere wrapped in a vintage aesthetic, making her a natural centerpiece for events that crave character and a touch of whimsy. Then there’s Claude, The Parlor’s sleek, nimble mobile cart, designed for versatility and style. Claude can pop up effortlessly in tighter spaces, delivering expertly crafted cocktails with precision and flair. More mobile bar options are in the works.

Already have a space and simply need a bartender? The Parlor offers bartenders for small intimate gatherings, large corporate events and everything in between. 

These aren’t cookie-cutter bar packages, they’re thoughtfully designed and customized experiences, offering non-alcoholic options, as well, for each event. Led by Michaela Hightower and Casey Helm, certified sommeliers and seasoned bartenders, the team works directly with clients to curate everything from signature cocktails to paired tastings, turning simple service into a memorable focal point.

"Casey is the mastermind by using what nature provides us," Hightower says of their handmade mixers.

It’s this blend of deep knowledge and relaxed charm that makes The Parlor more than a mobile bar. It becomes a trusted partner in celebration—a quiet force that shapes the mood, keeps the flow, and helps make every toast feel earned.

In a region that’s growing in both taste and occasion, The Parlor offers Colorado Springs something refreshing: the opportunity to make any gathering feel personal and unforgettable, all through the simple power of a memorable drink, served with care, wherever it’s needed most.
