Whether you’re hosting an event at an  event center in McAllen, TX  or at another kind of venue, your guests are going to be thirsty. Instead of serving standard soda, water, juice, wine, beer, or cocktails, why not make your event more memorable with a themed bar? Themed bars are great ways to make your wedding, party, corporate event, or other kind of event more fun and experiential for everyone involved. 

From unique alcohol bars to fresh and fun mocktail bars, here are some ideas for creative themed bars for your next event: 

• Whiskey Bar –  Whiskey is a fun spirit that has a little something for everyone, be it rye whiskey, cognac, bourbon, or any other kind. Whiskey bars are also great for adding rustic character and ambiance as the spirit is generally associated with the wild west and more outdoorsy feelings. 
• Roaring Twenties –  From speakeasies, prohibition, and “The Great Gatsby,” the roaring twenties offers tons of inspiration for a themed bar. Try out playful signs depicting the different cocktails using art deco fonts or offer up different kinds of 1920s cocktails like Giggle Water or The Bee’s Knees. 
• Signature Cocktails –  Perfect for a wedding, a signature cocktail bar allows you and your partner to serve your guests your favorite drinks. While not as extensive as other bars, signature cocktail bars are less expensive as they use fewer types of liqueur and mixers. 
• Craft Beer Bar –  Support local breweries by having a craft beer bar. There are so many breweries all across the country these days, each offering their own unique spin on beer. Try out different kinds of beers and add some personality to your selection with a craft beer bar. 
• Brunch Bar –  Who doesn’t love mimosas or bloody maries? Let guests create their own drink experience by offering a variety of juices, hot sauces, and garnishes like cheeses, fruit, pickles, and meats. 
• Fiesta –  You don’t have to go south of the border to have a fiesta themed bar. Fill your bar with all the ingredients needed for classic Latin drinks like palomas, aqua frescas, margaritas, and even some classic Mexican beers. 
• Garden Party –  Bring the feel and flavor of a bright summer garden to your event with a garden party bar. Use flowers and herbs as inspiration, offering signature cocktails that use mint, lavender, rosemary, hibiscus, and other fresh flavors. You can even decorate the bar with lots of fresh flowers to increase the delightful ambiance. 
• Tropical –  Transport your guests to a tropical island with a tropical bar. Serve drinks ike rum punch, pina coladas, dark and stormies, and pain killers complete with tropical fruit garnishes, umbrellas, and flowers. 
• Champagne Bar –  Bubbles are the best! Bring elegance to your event with a champagne bar. You can serve prosecco and sparkling wine, or spice things up with sparkling cocktails like French 75s, Kir Royales, and apricot fizzes.
