THE BAR

An italian affair

From the cobblestone streets of Italy to the historic streets of Charleston,

Il Piccolo Bar & Foto Booth invites you to indulge in a luxury experience with a uniquely European flair. We’ve taken our 1991 three-wheel Piaggio Ape and reimagined it into a mobile, vintage-inspired beverage bar. Il Piccolo Bar is custom-designed, boasting a five-tap system crafted to serve bubbles, beer, mocktails, and everything in between with style and sophistication.

Frequently asked questions

  • You'll enjoy Il Piccolo delivery, setup and teardown, a bartender, 3 hour beverage service (with the option to extend), custom menu planning assistance, beverage procurement and ordering, convenient alcohol pick-up and delivery on the event day, quality plastic drinkware, straws, cocktail napkins, ample ice, and delightful garnishes.

    The price does not cover alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, gratuity for servers, or travel expenses outside of the Charleston city limits.

  • To adhere to South Carolina liquor laws, we are unable to sell alcohol. However, we assist you every step of the way, from selection to purchase and even picking it up on the event day. Due to this, there are no hidden charges or excessive mark-ups on alcohol.

  • You can also enjoy Il Piccolo for non-alcoholic options! We're here to work with you in tailoring mocktails, offering a selection of non-alcoholic beers, juices, sodas, and even cold brews to suit your preferences.

    We provide liquor liability insurance, general liability insurance, and additional coverage. Moreover, we mandate that all our bartenders hold TIPS Alcohol Training certification.

    Our electric Piaggio Ape is versatile, enabling us to access various locations with ease. Whether indoors or outdoors, we're adaptable, provided the entryway can accommodate our vehicle.

  • Complete our inquiry form, and our team will reach out with a customized quote. To secure your date, we require a signed contract and a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the service cost. The remaining 50% and the purchase of alcohol (which is paid separately) are due 30 days before the event.
