Austin Soda Social

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Everything people ask before they book. If yours isn't here, send it through the form and we'll answer it personally.

The drinks

What is a dirty soda?

A fountain soda dressed up with flavored syrups, cream or coconut, and a squeeze of citrus, served over ice. Think Dr Pepper with coconut cream and lime, or Sprite with watermelon and vanilla cold foam.

Is everything alcohol-free?

Yes. Every drink we serve is alcohol-free, so kids, drivers, the mom-to-be, and grandparents all order from the same menu.

Can you make a custom drink for my event?

Yes. We can name a signature drink after the couple, the graduate, your community, or your company, and put it on a printed menu card in your colors.

Do you have sugar-free or lighter options?

We can offer a diet base with fresh citrus and lighter syrup choices. Tell us what your guests need and we will build the menu around it.

What about allergies?

Our creams are dairy-based and coconut cream is coconut. Let us know about allergies when you book and we will plan a safe option and label the bar clearly.

Booking

How do I get a quote?

Send the inquiry form with your date, guest count, and location. Alyssa replies within one business day with menu ideas and a quote built for your event.

Do you publish prices?

No. Every event is quoted individually because guest count, hours, menu, and location all change the plan. The form takes two minutes.

How far in advance should I book?

Two to three weeks is comfortable for most events. Weddings, large corporate events, and popular spring and fall weekends benefit from a month or more.

Is there a minimum guest count?

We plan around your headcount rather than a fixed minimum. Tell us the number and we will tell you what works.

What areas do you serve?

Austin and Central Texas, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Kyle, Buda, Dripping Springs, Lakeway, and San Marcos. Ask about anywhere else.

On the day

What do you bring?

The bar setup, sodas, syrups, creams, ice, cups, straws, garnishes, menu cards, and a friendly person to pour. We set up before guests arrive and clean up after.

What do you need from the venue?

A level spot for the bar and, for outdoor events in the hot months, shade or a tent. Power is helpful but not required. We will walk through the layout with you before the day.

Can you set up outdoors?

Yes. Backyards, pool decks, patios, parking lots, and lawns all work. We ask for shade in summer so the creams and the staff stay cool.

How long is a typical service window?

We plan for two to three hours of pouring for most events and can extend for longer celebrations.

Can we take photos with the bar?

Please do. The setup is designed to be a photo moment, and we love being tagged at @austinsodasocial.

Events

What kinds of events do you serve?

Weddings, bridal and baby showers, bachelorettes, birthdays, graduations, school and PTA events, church events, corporate socials, apartment resident events, real estate and dealership events, pop-ups, and grand openings.

Can a soda bar work alongside a cocktail bar?

Yes. At weddings and corporate events we can run alongside a bartender as the alcohol-free option, the cocktail-hour treat, or the late-night pick-me-up.

Do you do school events?

Yes. Teacher appreciation, field day, fundraisers, and family nights. Because everything is alcohol-free, the same bar that serves the staff lounge can serve the whole school.
