The Piaggio Ape Bar:

Our vintage 1987 Piaggio Ape has been beautifully restored and transformed into a charming, one-of-a-kind mobile bar serving Charlotte, North Carolina, the Carolinas, and beyond. Imported from Italy and converted into a fully functional mobile beverage bar, this iconic three-wheeled vehicle delivers unforgettable style along with professional draft capabilities for weddings, corporate events, private parties, and brand activations.

In Italian, “Ape” (pronounced AH-peh) means “bee.” The name reflects the vehicle’s small size, agility, and hardworking nature — perfect for navigating tight spaces and creating a warm, welcoming gathering point at any venue. Manufactured by the legendary Italian company Piaggio — also known for the iconic Vespa — the Ape is a beloved symbol of classic Italian design and everyday life. With its vintage charm, eye-catching aesthetic, and venue-friendly footprint, The Ape Bar becomes an instant focal point and photo backdrop at any celebration. Its compact size allows it to fit both indoor and outdoor venues while still making a big visual impact — ideal for everything from elegant weddings to upscale corporate gatherings.

Equipped with 7 taps, The Ape Bar allows us to serve a wide variety of beverages quickly and efficiently, minimizing guest wait times while maximizing the experience. Our custom-built chilling system ensures every pour is perfectly crisp and cold from start to finish.

Popular beverage options on tap include: Craft cocktails, Prosecco, Sparkling wine, local and craft beers, wine, signature drinks, mocktails, and many other non-alcoholic options.

The Tap Cart:

For more intimate gatherings or spaces with limited room, the Tap Cart is the perfect fit. Custom-built to be compact and versatile, this charming cart features two taps and offers the same high-quality service as The Ape Bar — just in a smaller footprint. Whether used as a stand-alone feature or as a complement to the Ape Bar, the Tap Cart is ideal for welcome drinks, signature cocktails, secondary bar service, or smaller celebrations.

Like its larger counterpart, the Tap Cart can be personalized with branding, signage, or decorative accents, helping to bring your vision to life. With pre-batched beverages on tap, we keep the drinks flowing and the vibes high — so your guests can focus on celebrating.
