Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, birthday party, or something totally unique, Tap Truck makes the process easy, flexible, and fun from start to finish. Here’s exactly what it’s like to book with Tap Truck, step by step.
Step 1: Find the Tap Truck Closest to You
With over 60 Tap Truck locations nationwide, chances are there’s a vintage truck ready to roll near you. Start by finding the Tap Truck closest to your event location, each one is locally owned and operated, which means you’ll be working directly with a team that knows your area, venues, and local requirements.
Before You Inquire: A Few Helpful Things to Think About
Before reaching out to your local Tap Truck, there are a few considerations that can make the process even smoother. Don’t worry, if you don’t have all the answers yet, your Tap Truck team is happy to help.
1. Check Venue Requirements: Confirm that your venue has adequate space for a Tap Truck to park and set up. This may include driveway access, loading zones, or outdoor space near your event.
- If you’re unsure about logistics, Tap Truck can help communicate directly with your venue or event coordinator to clarify space, access, and setup requirements.
2. Understand Licensing and Permits: Alcohol laws vary by state, county, and even city. In many cases, Tap Truck takes care of the necessary alcohol licensing required for your event.
- Some venues or municipalities may require additional permits, so it’s always a good idea to double-check with your venue. The good news? Tap Truck teams are experienced in navigating these requirements and can guide you through the process.
3. Decide on Service Times: Think about how long you’d like bar service during your event, including start and end times for your guests to enjoy the tapped experience.
- Having a general idea of service length helps your Tap Truck team plan setup, service flow, and teardown, ensuring everything runs smoothly on event day.
Step 2: Submit an Inquiry
Once you’ve found your local Tap Truck, you’ll submit a quick inquiry with your event details, things like:
- Event type (wedding, corporate event, private party, etc.)
- Date and location
- Estimated guest count
- What you’re hoping to serve
This helps the Tap Truck team understand your vision and start building a bar experience that fits your event perfectly.
Step 3: Connect with Your Local Tap Truck Team
After you inquire, your local Tap Truck team will reach out to chat through the details. This is where the magic really starts.
They’ll help you:
1. Choose the right truck or bar setup
2. Decide how many taps you’ll need
3. Talk through drink options (beer, wine, cocktails, mocktails, cold brew, kombucha, you name it, they tap it)
4. Navigate any venue or permit requirements
You’ll get expert guidance without the pressure, just a collaborative, easygoing planning process.
Step 4: Customize Your Drink Menu

From custom drink names to tap selections, this is where your bar becomes a true experience, not just a service.
Step 5: Lock It In
Once you’ve finalized the details, you’ll secure your date with a signed agreement and deposit. From there, your Tap Truck team takes care of the logistics, timelines, and behind-the-scenes coordination.
