What we promise

One call. Fully licensed. Nothing to haul.

Some bar services are dry-hire only — you buy the alcohol, store it, and haul it to the venue. With Cat Eye, the bar arrives stocked.

We supply the alcohol

Cat Eye holds a Montana all-beverage license with a catering endorsement. We purchase, supply, and serve every drink — no liquor-store runs, no leftover cases.

Trained, gracious bartenders

Responsible service from first pour to last call, with crew size matched to your package and guest count.

Café soul, event polish

More than twenty years of hospitality downtown — plus a written menu, a clear contract, and a bar that runs on time.

Three packages. Tailored quotes.

Choose the size that fits your guest list. Every package is quoted for your date, venue, and drink menu — just tell us about your day.

FAQ

Good questions, straight answers

Do you provide the alcohol?

Yes. Cat Eye operates under our Montana all-beverage license with a catering endorsement, which means we purchase, supply, and serve all of the alcohol at your event. Because of how that license works, we can’t serve alcohol you’ve bought yourself, and we don’t loan our license to third parties or venues.

Is food included?

Not yet. Our packages are bar & drinks only. Bring your own caterer or use the venue kitchen and we’ll run the licensed full bar alongside them.

Where will you travel?

We serve weddings and private parties in Bozeman, Big Sky, and across the Gallatin Valley — ranches, barns, mountain lodges, and backyards — and Paradise Valley by request. Travel fees may apply outside the Bozeman core. It’s worth confirming early that your venue allows an outside licensed bar; we’re happy to talk logistics with your venue or planner.

How much is the deposit?

Fifty percent of your quote holds your date. The balance is due on the schedule in your contract, typically before the event.

How many guests can you serve?

Essential serves up to 100 guests, Signature up to 150, and Reserve up to 200. Each package has a firm maximum, and any overage rate is set in the contract before the event — no day-of surprises. Planning something larger? Tell us about it.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as you have a date and a venue. Summer and early-fall weekends are the busiest in the valley, so earlier is better. We’ll confirm availability when we reply to your inquiry.

How is pricing determined?

Every event is quoted individually based on your package, date, venue, guest count, and drink menu. Send us the details and we’ll put together a quote.

Can we taste and plan at the café?

Absolutely. Meet us downtown at 23 N. Tracy to plan your bar and taste your signature cocktail before the big day.
