We launched Runaway Bar in 2021 with a vision of bringing a fun, unique and elevated private bartending service to Southern Maine.

The bar is the most popular spot at any celebration. It’s where friends share a laugh, new acquaintances strike up a conversation, a shy relative finds a moment of respite. A great bartending service isn’t just about great drinks, it’s about making every guest feel important and cared for. It’s our favorite part of what we do (though we do love making pretty, tasty cocktails!)

We work closely with our clients every step of the way—from learning about their vision to creating a custom beverage menu tailored to their style, preferences, and budget. Our collaborative approach ensures every detail is thoughtfully planned and perfectly executed.

On the day of your event, we're the first to arrive and the last to leave. With a background in the restaurant industry, we understand the importance of seamless service, careful planning, and flawless execution. Our goal is simple: to handle every beverage detail so you can relax, enjoy your guests, and make lasting memories.

“It was such a joy to have the Runaway Bar at our wedding! Heidi was a pleasure to work with and was extremely helpful throughout the planning process. She event went as far as to cut flowers from her own garden to use as garnishes. The ape is absolutely adorable, even cuter in person! Our guests were raving about it! I highly recommend having the Runaway Bar at your event!” Lindsey

“You guys stole the show, everyone keeps talking about how great you were. So friendly, great drinks, so much fun! We LOVED having you there!” -Sara

“We had Runaway Bar at our rehearsal dinner in York, ME and we have nothing but great things to say about the company and their service! Heidi was amazing and has such an energetic personality! She went above and beyond with offering mixers and garnishes and creating cocktails for us that were amazing. They were also so responsive and helpful in the planning process. We definitely recommend The Runaway Bar, they were awesome!” Kerin & Craig
