About Clever Cocktails

Good Day, My name is Richard Cohen and I am the owner of Clever Cocktails. I am fully vaccinated, now including my booster. I love being behind the bar and providing excellent service. It makes all the difference why people hire me. I keep my charges simple, $35.00 per hour from arrival to departure. I charge a minimum of $175.00 for up to 4 hours. Then back to the $35.00 per hour as needed. Feel free to contact me. I used to be the beverage manager at the Ritz at Tysons for 8 years so I know both the service and the drinks. I can work in the attire of your choice from simple black pants and white shirt, to a tuxedo. I have worn anything from Hawaiian shirts, to hockey jersey's. You tell me. I have all the bar equipment a professional should have from ice scoops, ice buckets, liquor tops, wine openers to bus tubs to cool your beverages. I also rent glassware if requested Please see my reviews on the quality of my service. I love helping people. I like to listen to people and deliver what they seek but exceed their expectations so they feel like they got more for their money.

Working with Richard ended up being one of my favorite parts of my whole wedding. He's knowledgeable, kind, professional and gives incredible customer service. Richard went so far above and beyond my expectations (he even cut our wedding cake!) Hiring Richard is like hiring your dad, his whole goal was just to give great advice in much more than just bartending and give excellent service along the way. I truly can't say enough about this man please hire him you won't regret it. Also his pricing is incredibly affordable and he makes a point to make sure you get charged appropriately and definitely doesn't over stay a welcome. Thank you so much Richard!!!

Richard was an absolute pleasure to work with! I could only pick three items to highlight for this review but I would definitely check Value and Punctuality as well. Richard was always available for questions and we had a thorough consultation where he walked us through all the things to procure to ensure the party went smoothly and our guests had all their requests fulfilled. Our guests raved about Richard, their conversations with him and the drinks he crafted for them. I would hire Richard again for a future party! Richard also stepped in to supervise the catering part of the get together. Since, he has worked in the business before, he did a great job lending a hand to the staff who were there to help with food and cleanup. Overall, very happy that we got to work with Richard who was there every step of the way! Look forward to working with you again. Photo: One of many yummy Mojitos crafted by Richard
