What NYC hosts are saying
We hired a barback for our wedding reception and it was such a relief. They kept the bar fully stocked and ice never ran out all night. It made the whole night feel effortless.
Samantha R. Brooklyn
Booking a barback through Updone for our birthday party was the best call we made. They worked non-stop behind the scenes so our bartender never had a slow moment. Couldn't have asked for a smoother experience.
Kevin T. Manhattan
For our corporate event, our barback handled setup and breakdown of the whole bar without any issues. Already planning to hire through Updone again.

Our engagement party ran so smoothly thanks to our barback — they kept glassware and garnishes stocked the entire event. Worth every penny.

I was nervous about staffing our backyard gathering, but our barback was fast, reliable, and made service run noticeably smoother without missing a beat. The whole booking process was faster than we expected too.
Luis M. Rochester
Hands down the easiest part of planning our holiday party was the barback we booked. They hauled ice, stocked bottles, and kept the bar spotless all night. Exactly the kind of service we were hoping for.
