Founded by Lori McCarthy.
Spunky Spirits started with a simple idea: event bar service should be affordable, customized, professional, and fun. Not stiff. Not confusing. Not one-size-fits-all — and definitely not built around charging hosts for alcohol their guests never drink.
Instead of the traditional pay-per-person model, we help you build a smarter bar plan around your actual event, guest count, drink preferences, budget, and venue rules.
Better than a bottle on a table.
We build a custom shopping plan around your event size, service time, drink menu, and budget. Shop it yourself or let us help — unopened bottles may be returnable, and anything left is yours.
Timing, layout, staffing, mixers, ice, garnishes, menu choices, setup, cleanup, and guest flow — your coordinator thinks it all through before event day so you don't have to become a bar expert.
Professional, friendly, and quick — they keep the line moving, remember drink preferences, and bring the energy that helps a party feel alive. They don't just pour; they host the bar.
They host the bar.
Drinks matter. So does the person making them. Spunky bartenders are guest-focused — they keep things flowing, make people feel welcome, and read the room.
Guests remember the bartender who knew their drink. That's the difference between hiring someone to pour and hiring a team that knows how to support an event.

From planning to last call.
Professional bartenders for weddings, private parties, corporate events, fundraisers, and celebrations across Tampa Bay.
A Spunky coordinator helps you build your drink menu, plan your shopping list, and make decisions that fit your budget and style.
Beer and wine, beer and wine with signature cocktails, or a fuller bar — matched to the season, theme, crowd, and vibe.
Detailed lists so you know what to buy, how much, and what your guests are most likely to drink. Optional shopping and delivery help, too.
Cups, ice, soda, juices, mixers, napkins, straws, and garnishes to support your menu.
Stylish bars, trailer bars, glassware, beverage and coffee stations, champagne and shot walls, cocktail tables, and more.
Extra hands for setup, buffet support, coffee, cake cutting, cleanup, and the behind-the-scenes tasks that keep an event moving.
How we run your bar.
What you're celebrating, where it's happening, how many guests, and the kind of night you want people to have.
A backyard birthday doesn't need the same bar as a 200-person wedding. We help you build the right fit.
You buy the alcohol at retail, or we help coordinate it — without turning the bar into a bloated per-person package.
Our team arrives with the setup, supplies, bartender, and plan ready to go — and cleans up the bar area after.
Smooth, clean, welcoming, and fun. That's the Spunky standard.
If people are gathering, we can help.
No event is too large or too small.
