About us
PBS was founded by Robert Gold, a banquet bartender himself since 1987, who noticed that there was a complete lack of qualified bartenders and food servers available to work the many large and small events in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. PBS is the premier staffing company for many of the Washington DC area's hotels, caterers, and country clubs. We have also built a great reputation working with event planners and individuals hosting their own events and are a full service, professional, party and event staffing company. Bartenders are all TIPS Certified (Training for Intervention Procedures by Servers of Alcohol). This is a dynamic skills based national training program designed to prevent intoxication, drunk driving and underage drinking by enhancing the fundamental people skills of servers, sellers and consumers of alcohol. We protect our clients and staff by ensuring all staff is covered by Workmen's Compensation, General Liability Insurance, Umbrella/ Excess Liability Insurance and Liquor Liability Insurance.

Laura and Chris were amazing. They came 1 and 1/2 hours earlier then when the party started, as planned, which totally put me at ease knowing all was getting done and would be done before the first guest arrived. Not to mention, they picked up from the area restaurants we ordered from saving us from running around. After going over the schedule of the order of appetizers, the buffet, the cake cutting, and the champagne toasts with me, Laura, whom we requested after our first party where PBS catered/served in 2015, immediately jumped into to prepare the appetizers and arrange the areas as needed. Chris, the bartender makes great cocktails, especially Cosmo's - my favorite, and had a charming/fun personality. Our first party when we used PBS, we did not get the beverage package- I highly recommend this. They brought everything, and then some, needed to make the perfect cocktail. It was nice to be able to relax and be with our guests while seeing that all was professionally being taken care of. Glasses, plates, etc. were cleared or refilled immediately. When all left, the house was clean- the dishes all washed- just beautiful memories left behind. Debbie, who helped coordinate all of this was extremely helpful, diligent, and was a pleasure to work with. We'll definitely be using them again soon. We highly recommend them for any event.
One of the bartenders greeted guests and took coats. He also helped a lot with the food service and anything else that needed to be done.
The other bartender mostly tended the bar (50 people) but was helpful in other ways too.
The even washed dinner dishes before they left.
I have used them before and I will definitely use them again.
I think they are the best.
Have used PBS before with similar success. Highly recommended!
Made all the difference in the world for the hosts to have PBS there to help us out- we could enjoy our guests with little distractions throughout the night. They blended right in and made for a wonderful addition to our party.
YOU NEED PBS for you next party or event.
On the day of my party - Andy and Miguel showed up a few minutes earlier than planned (always appreciated), sent me away so I could finish getting dressed and whipped my basement into a fancy bar in no time at all. I had originally planned this event for outdoors - but after days of relentless heat and rain, I decided to have it in the basement. No problem for them - they worked well within my space and made everything look soooo inviting! Great personalities, friendly and you could tell they do this all of the time. They went throughout the house and disposed of glasses and plates and kept everything looking neat and clean. Everyone commented on the bar staff and I was able to really enjoy my party. I did not have to do a thing. When it was time for them to go - they set up the beverages so the guests could continue to and quot;self-serveand quot;, cleaned up the area, and headed out the door with my most sincere thanks!
I estimate there were between 80 and 100 people over the course of 4 hours. I would not hesitate to contact PBS in the future. they were worth every penny!
