Licensed & insured mobile bar service for weddings, corporate events and private parties — poured by professional bartenders.
Before 55 South had a name, it had a training ground. In the early 2000s, Scott Birchfield joined the food & beverage world as a café server at the historic San Jose Museum of Art — and found the passion that would define his career.
Over the years he held nearly every position the catering world has to offer — Assistant Café Manager, Bar Manager, Event Manager and, finally, Beverage Director — all while spending close to ten years behind the bar, shaking the freshest cocktails in the room. Few people understand what truly goes into creating the perfect event from as many angles as Scott does.
In 2018 he brought it all together and founded 55 South Beverage Catering around a single promise — “We bring the Bar to You” — a full-service beverage caterer that walks you through the entire planning process, so what your guests will drink is the one thing you never have to worry about.
Today, 55 South is back on track to become the Bay Area’s premier beverage caterer — built on reliability, integrity and personal relationships: from signature cocktails created around a meaning that matters to your guests, to the small details that elevate an entire evening.
The principles this house is built on — quality service, high-end spirits, unique mixology, and a workplace where everyone belongs.
55 South is a full service beverage caterer for weddings, corporate events and private parties. We deliver the bar, build it on site, pour with professional bartenders and leave the venue exactly as we found it.
