Our story

Tampa's bar, done right.

It all started with a Super Bowl party in Tampa. The drinks were flowing, the crowd was ready, and the traditional catering quotes were piling up fast. Lori McCarthy saw the problem clearly. Hosts were being charged steep “per person” prices, whether every guest drank or not.

That didn’t feel fair. It didn’t feel flexible. And it definitely didn’t feel very spunky.So, in 2006, Lori shook things up and launched Tampa Bay’s first mobile bartending service.The idea was simple. You buy the alcohol you want. We bring the bartenders, the tools, the setup, and the energy. You only pay for what your party actually pours.

No bloated bar packages. No paying for untouched bottles. No cookie-cutter celebrations. Just better drinks, smarter spending, and a bar built around your event.Since then, Spunky Spirits has helped Tampa Bay raise a glass at weddings, parties, corporate events, festivals, and celebrations of every kind.

We bring the polish without the stiffness, the fun without the chaos, and just enough spunk to make every gathering feel like one worth remembering.

Cheers to doing things differently.

Highly recommend Carolyn and her team at Spunky Spirits! Carolyn was amazing to work with—responsive, accommodating, and so helpful in bringing our signature cocktails and bar vision to life for my daughter’s wedding. The bartenders were fantastic and kept everyone happy and the drinks flowing all night. They were a wonderful part of the celebration and helped make the evening absolutely memorable!

Spunky Spirits were amazing to work with for our wedding. They were easy to communicate with & provided really helpful guidance. I liked that they give me a grocery list so I could buy the alcohol myself. The day of, their team was incredible. Heather & Tim were so personable & even though there was a constant stream of people at the bar, there was never a line. We would 100% use them again for any future events.

I attended a wedding at the Davis Island Garden Club on October 9, and Elisa provided wonderful service! She was professional, attentive, and always checking to make sure everyone was comfortable and had everything they needed. She served the food on time and was such a pleasure to have at the event. Thank you, Elisa, for helping make the evening so enjoyable!

Carolyn and the team at Spunky Spirits were absolutely incredible to work with. From the start, Carolyn made the entire planning process feel seamless and stress-free; she was organized, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. Our bartender at the wedding was just as amazing. He was friendly, attentive, and somehow managed to remember guests’ drink orders, often having them ready before they even made it to the bar. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great he was. I truly can’t recommend Spunky Spirits enough; they played a huge part in making our wedding day so special and memorable.
