Shaking Up Shoreline: Sip Mobile Bartending Brings the Bar and the Hospitality to You
A new Shoreline business is getting ready to roll, bringing restaurant-quality beverage service directly to celebrations throughout the region. Sip Mobile Bartending launches in August 2026 with a vision that goes beyond simply serving drinks. After 17 years of calling Shoreline home, owners Robb and Sarah are channeling their hospitality experience into a mobile bar built around attentive service and exceptional beverages. From private parties and backyard celebrations to corporate events, Sip plans to bring a little of Seattle's restaurant and cocktail culture wherever the party happens.
