Hi I’m Sarah

Hey everyone!!!!

My name is Sarah DePasquale, and I am the owner of Divine Spirits Bartending and The Unbridled Bars. I reside in Jacksonville FL with my husband and our furry kids. We love exploring Jacksonville and the surrounding areas of St Augustine and Fernandina Beach. You can find us on off days searching for mid century finds, eating vegan food, and of course sampling craft cocktails from everywhere we go! I am also a photographer. When I am not behind the bar I am likely to be found with a camera in my hand.

Bartending is something I have loved since the moment I walked behind the bar for my first shift. I was always a “talker” in class, a performer and color guard in high school and someone who just loved people so the hospitality industry was the perfect fit when I found it. Its never the same day twice, I LOVE the chaos of a busy bar shift, and y’all, THE PEOPLE!! Its what I love about all of this the most. Connecting with so many different humans learning their stories, celebrating their triumphs and losses. Bartending has made me who I am.

I also come from a blood line of entrepreneurs. Both my grandfathers were small business owners. They were hard workers and innovators in their own fields of work. My “Grampy” was also an accomplished horsemen. He rode his whole life, and passed on his love of horses to me. My fondest memories of childhood is on the back of a horse with my grandfather on his own leading us on another adventure.

Why mobile bartending?

After 22 years of bartending across the country and working in all aspects of hospitality I was ready for a change. I was already running my own small photography business and was involved in the wedding industry here in Jacksonville. I was still working part time at a busy bar and just wasn’t happy. I was ready to work on my own terms, set my own schedule and be my own boss. I needed to figure out what I could do with all this experience…

I started Divine Spirits Bartending with the goal of bringing innovative craft cocktails to private parties and weddings. Two months in I started developing the idea of a horse trailer bar. The Unbridled Bar was quickly born, handcrafted by a skilled friend, with hand touches from my dad and us. We hit the ground running with the Unbridled Bar and have continued to grow and add to our fleet of bar products. Unbridled Bar #2 joined us in late 2020.

This journey to entrepreneurship has been a ride!! It went from a crazy dream to a full time job that is continuing to grow. I am excited to see what the future holds for us and this small business. If you want to follow a bit closer, click HERE to follow The Unbridled Bars on Instagram.
