The Back Story

Established in 2021, where western 70s charm meets bold seasonal flavors. Show Pony isn’t just a mobile bar. It is a reflection of my journey, my passion for hosting unforgettable experiences, and my deep love for crafting drinks that bring people together.

I’m Katherine, the creative force behind Show Pony. My path to this business was far from linear. It was a winding road full of unexpected turns, challenges, and resurrections. With over 21 years in restaurant and bartending, 8 years in events and marketing with Monster Energy, and countless years traveling the country for music festivals, I gained an eye for what makes an event feel special.

My background in herbalism, my time working in floral shops, and years slaying the lavender at farmers markets all gave me a deeper understanding of what was to come. The most important shift in my journey was my relationship with sobriety. It didn’t just transform my personal life, it gave me a new perspective on my craft, revealing a niche talent I now get to share with the world.

That’s why Show Pony is more than a mobile bar. It’s a place where everyone can feel included, whether they’re sipping a perfectly balanced cocktail or a thoughtful, handcrafted mocktail. My passion for mixology isn’t just about alcohol. It’s about crafting drinks that are alive with seasonal ingredients, fresh botanicals, and layered flavors. A floral-infused mocktail inspired by a wildflower hike. A smoky, spiced honey old-fashioned. Every drink is made with intention, reflecting nature, community, and the stories we carry.

Show Pony is proof that you can take life’s twists and turn them into something beautiful. Whether you drink or don’t, you belong here.
