Menifee has grown fast, and the backyard party has grown with it. Between neighborhood get-togethers, backyard weddings, and weekend events across the Inland Empire — plus winery celebrations just over the hill in Temecula — a lot of hosts end up serving drinks off a folding table. Our portable event bar replaces that table with something that looks like it belongs in the photos: a full-size handcrafted bar, 41 inches tall at standard bar height, built to set up quickly and break down flat when the party ends.

The bar is built from MDF panels over an internal frame, with an interior shelf behind the counter for bottles, glassware, and supplies. The whole structure separates into five flat pieces using lift-away hinges. There are no tools to grab and no bolts or screws to keep track of. At the end of the night it packs flat, fits in most SUVs and truck beds, and stores in a small footprint in the garage. Sizes and finish options are listed on the 5-foot portable collapsible event bar product page. The first setup takes a few minutes to learn; after that, most owners have it standing in under five. It is also a smart buy for anyone building a small event or bartending side business, since one bar can work a wedding on Saturday and a birthday party on Sunday.

Pricing is straightforward. The 5-foot bar is $800 painted in white or black, or $700 raw if you want to apply your own finish. If you’d rather build one yourself for personal use, the same design is available as 5-foot DIY build plans. The 6-foot version is $950 painted and $850 raw. Every bar is made to order. Mobile bartenders around Menifee, Murrieta, and Temecula carry them to weddings and private events, and homeowners who host often buy one outright instead of renting something different every time. The painted surface touches up easily, which matters if your bar sees regular use.

Menifee-area orders are built by a local craftsman in The Wobbly Carpenter network, in his own shop in the area. You can read more on our Menifee builder profile page. Built by a local craftsman in The Wobbly Carpenter network. Every builder signs our craftsman agreement, and insurance and background check are verified before their first build. A locally built bar means no freight bill for shipping furniture, no waiting on a warehouse, and a real person in your community standing behind the work.

Pickup at the shop is free, and delivery is available anywhere within 40 miles of the builder's shop — that covers Menifee and much of the surrounding valley, including Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, and parts of Temecula. Because each bar is made to order, give yourself some lead time before your event date. Ordering happens at thewobblycarpenter.com: pick your size and finish, check out, and the checkout will confirm your delivery address is within range before the order is placed. Hosting somewhere else? Our other service areas and delivery locations show everywhere the network currently builds. For a city that hosts as many backyard events as Menifee does, owning a bar that stores flat just makes sense.
