We Are Picnic

Picnic Pours grew out of the same idea that started Picnic in Linden Hills: creating spaces where people can gather, relax, and connect over great drinks. Founded by longtime hospitality professionals, our goal is simple: bring people together and make every event feel welcoming, effortless, and memorable.

Through our mobile bar catering services, including the Vespa Bar and Picnic Bar Boat, we bring professional bartending, curated cocktails, and seamless service to weddings, corporate events, and private parties. We handle everything from drink planning to setup and service, pouring great cocktails so you can focus on enjoying your celebration.

Our Story

A quiet winter of new parenthood, isolation, and reflection sparked the idea that would become Picnic. In this first journal entry from January 2022, E Kitzenberg shares the personal moment when the vision for a neighborhood gathering place built around food, drink, and genuine hospitality first came to life.

"Picnic Pours is reliable, organized, and easy to work with. They communicate clearly, run a smooth bar, and never create bottlenecks. When they’re on an event, I don’t have to think about the bar at all."
