Fierce Cocktails is a mobile bartending service. A one woman show at this time. I have 11 years experience in hospitality industry (private events, corporate events, bars, restaurant, and night clubs). I venture out on my own about 5 years ago and love it! At this time I DO NOT PROVIDE ALCOHOL. I provide a mobile bar, condiments, signature cocktails ( varies) and signage. I am certified in mixology, and hold my ramp certification too. I am here to level up your experience with a bit of fierceness. My eye for detail and my wealth of experience in the industry will elevate your experience to the fullest.
I’m rejoining as new and improved . Reviews are outdated! Gig salad refuse to remove
I was very, very dissatisfied with Fierce Cocktails for my event. I urge event planners and others looking to hire a bar tender-to pass on Fierce Cocktails.
1. She stated she would provide a portable bar- which she did not, so at the last minute we had to improvise with a 2 folding tables. It was not the look I wanted and a guest knocked over and spilled a beverage dispenser of red sangria all over the table and linens because it was not on a raised bar surface -as it should have been. Had she let me know in advance, I would have brought or rented a portable bar!
2. Before the guests arrived I asked her for a drink to see how well she could make what was on the drink menu. I said "surprise me, fix anything". She opted to give me the sangria- that was already made by a family member.
3. She poured a bag of ice into a galvanized beverage tub with stand and instead of placing the beer bottles in the ice, she used it to scoop ice for my sangria. She did not wash the tub nor did she know if it was already cleaned. In either case, the galvanized tub was not used as intended and she dispensed ice in an unsanitary way for my sangria. Someone had to speak to her about serving ice appropriately.
4.Many fruit garnishes were provided and cut up in advance by other volunteers including oranges, pineapples, mint and limes. The garnish pics and beverage napkins were provided but not used. Most of the fruit garnishes were not used; consequently the drinks did not have tropical look, presentation and appeal they should have. Some maraschino cherries were put in drinks, I believe because that was very easy to do. She could have even placed some of the cut up fruit in the sangria.
5. I provided a blender and purchased an additional blender for her convenience. She did not use a blender for frozen margaritas at all.
6. The most important issue.... Fierce Cocktails was not personable or friendly as her bio states. She was not personable or friendly at all. She was rude to a couple of my guests, which I found out after the event. 7. 7. Most all my guests noticed and commented on her demeanor and lack of social skills.
She was rude to my cousin who brought a bottle of wine and gave it to her. She told my cousin, "Next time you should bring flowers." My cousin stated she was very mean and she didn't even want to go back to Fierce Cocktails and request a drink.
Overall, she arrived without the portable bar, did the bare minimum, unsatisfactorily; was in a bad mood, didn't smile, was mean to my family members and ran out as fast as she could when her 4 hours was up.
The bar tender was the only negative at the event.
Response from Fierce Cocktails:
I am apologize this client had to take a week to write this essay to try and bash my name and my brand with lies.
Gig Salad is not the only platform I use.
This client fails to mention that I was rained on and the set up was no where proper at all. This client fails to mention that I had to run around the house just find products for the bar, but than ask me I’m the mix of looking for products that should have been altogether..she wants me to make a cocktail. To question my skill of making drinks is beyond me. She talks about me personable yet I left the event with more tips than I expected. Talk to the bride the Dj and the cater company and make great connections. She fails to mentions while bartending I was soaked and muddy because someone either forgot it was going to rain or didn’t care. She says I left after the 5 hours I was there. Mind you she only paid 4 but I always add an extra hr for set up. She fail to mention that even asked if there was anything I could
Do before my time ended (clean up etc) she said no everything is great. I than informed her I had yet another gig 1 hr away. This review seems very personable because her event was a big fail, and like I say to all my clients if there was ever anything wrong they can PERSONALLY contact. This was just intended to try and bash my brand and my name. But I will send an invite
Out to this very manipulative client if ever in town please visit me at my bar in center city the drink is on me. You can’t please them all god bless.
Note: Gig Salad is not my only platform I use, it just sucks that this particular client I booked on this website. I’m sorry you waited a week to write the lovely essay, if you felt that dissatisfied you could have emails and or text or called me. You will not ruin my brand because your event was a big flop. It’s sad that this woman sees a young woman trying to make something and tears it down. Plz anytime come to 20th n market to my bar the first round is on me. God Ble
Fierce Cocktails provided great service for my birthday party! The bartender, Chanel, was professional, prepared and friendly and helped me come up with a signature cocktail for the party! She was an asset to the event and I'd definitely hire Fierce Cocktails again and recommend them to others!
Response from Fierce Cocktails:
Thank you so much and look forward to our next event!
Tierra was beyond attentive, was open to collaborate with my needs and arrived promptly, ready to set up and work. She had a very sweet demeanor and was dressed appropriately to wow people! I'd definitely work with her again on other events!
This was my first time using Gigsalad,and I was very lucky to have found C's Bartender. She arrived on time , was very professional friendly and fantastic. My guest love her personality ,If you looking for a fantastic bartender I would highly recommend C's Bartender.
Response from Fierce Cocktails:
Thank you so much Kiyetta it was a pleasure!! Please anytime
This was our first time using GigSalad, and we feel very lucky to have found such a great bartender on our first try! Chanel was very responsive during the couple weeks before the event and it was clear she knew her stuff! On the day of the event, Chanel arrived on time, was incredibly professional and was able to get down to work in the midst of all our chaos! She is a fantastic bartender and kept our guests happy all night long- they loved her so much she was even pulled onto the dance floor at one point! If you're looking for a great bartender that can go with the flow and who is very reliable, I would highly recommend booking Chanel!

When hired, I bring all condiments and a mobile bar. Punctuality and attention to detail are my specialties. I'm not just a mixologist but a host, offering not just cocktails but a memorable experience. Adhering to state laws, I won't serve alcohol to those under 21, and there's a cut-off for visibly intoxicated guests. I arrive an hour early for setup and ensure a clean departure every time.
I'm passionate about creativity, always exploring new cocktails and presenting them with flair. As a Philly native, I adore the arts, fashion, and, of course, cocktails. I'm a dedicated professional, punctual, and down-to-earth, taking mixology seriously and constantly educating myself. With over 11 years of bartending experience, I decided to get serious about it 5 years ago, obtaining my mixology certification, my business license and ramp certified. Let's build positive business relationships one cocktail at a time. Thank you for visiting my page!
