Jillmo Travel Bartender Bag, 16 inch Portable Cocktail Shaker Set Bag-Grey (Bag Only)

I've been bartending off and on for over 20 years now, and decided to make it my full time profession about 10 years ago.I'm still working a couple shifts a week at a bar, but with COVID we're only allowed 50% occupancy, so where we used to have 2 or 3 bartenders on, we only have one. That means less available shifts and searching for other ways to make ends meet.I just got a job as a bartender school instructor, and need to bring my own tools to class. I do already own my own tools, but I leave them at my bar (theirs are cheap and awful), because I don't want to keep carrying everything back and forth.I've also recently started working more private outside events, like weddings & parties.So I decided to drop some birthday dough and invest in myself!I was really just looking for a bag to carry my tools and supplies. I did a lot of research, read a lot of reviews (weeding out the obviously fake ones), and decided to go with this. I figured even if the tools weren't top quality, I could leave these at work and switch them out with the nice ones I've accumulated over the years & keep at the bar.Package arrived quickly, and I tore into it excitedly.With every tool I unwrapped, I felt like a little girl at Christmas again! I'm so blown away by the quality of these tools - they put every other thing I've ever used (even at the high end craft bars) to shame.First off, fellow bartenders, you know how hard it is to find a good "waiter's friend" corkscrew. The foil cutters aren't sharp enough, the worms either get stuck in the cork a bit or you have to push real hard to get them through. You have to wrestle the cork off. Not the Jillmo one!It's on par with my HiCoup that I love. Sharp, curved foil cutter, double hinged fulcrum, and a notch cut through the center of the worm that makes it glide through the cork like a hot knife in butter.All the tools included are solid, with a nice heft.The Hawthorne strainer has a beautiful coil that I know I'm not going to have to constantly put back on like with the cheaper ones. It also has a handy notch for your finger.I have purchased some different sized Boston shakers separately, as I prefer them to a cobbler. They get stuck less and are much faster for me to use. However, I'll probably end up using the cobbler shaker included with this kit as well. Although it's not weighted (I like my shakers weighted, less likely I'll accidentally knock them over in a rush), it fits together seamlessly without sticking. The top actually fits inside the bottom, rather than outside like other typical cobblers. There is no built in strainer, but the top comes off easily and you can fit it back in upside down to strain, or lift it slightly to create a hole. I can actually use either method one handed, as it doesn't stick. Or I can separate them and use the bottom for tools and top for straws and garnish picks for events.The channel knife/zester is nice and sharp, as well as solid.The bar spoon is long and swirled for easy stirring. Also nice and solid so it won't get accidentally bent.The Japanese jigger is 2oz on one side, with a mark for 1.5oz. The other end is 1oz with marks for 3/4 and1/2oz.The juicer is large enough to squeeze any fruit you desire, probably even oranges, although I haven't tested that yet. I'll probably end up using this at work too, as the one we have only fits limes, and it's a pain when I have to squeeze lemons because I have to cut them into quarters rather than halves.The rest of the tools are just as high quality. I didn't include pictures of the julep strainer as I don't use it, or the church key because a church key is a bottle opener is a church key. But they're both nice and solid. Same with the tongs - they're nice, but I can't imagine getting excited over any pair of tongs.The bag is beautiful, light to carry even when full, it's durable and waterproof, and my laptop fits in the back zipper.All the tools fit, as well as extra speed pourers I bought (2 isn't going to be enough for my purposes, but fine for home), a paring knife, my angled jigger, extra Boston shakers, and I still have room for SO MUCH MORE. (See pictures.) I have yet to put in things like writing utensils, sharpies, chalk markers, notepads, etc., but there's plenty of room for that plus quite a few bottles.My only gripe is the buckles, which are like belt buckles. I wish they were snap for easier access, but not worth deducting a star over, as I'll only need access at the beginning and end of each class/event/shift.You would pay well more than $100 to get tools of this quality separately. I feel like I got a great deal on a complete set of bartender tools, and a free bag to boot!Whether you are a professional bartender or looking for something portable for personal use, you can't go wrong with this kit!

Have you ever gotten someone a gift & been so excited to give it to them? That is how I feel about this purchase. The bartender shoulder bag is exactly as pictured. The outside material has a cloth-like feel and Does not look cheap at all (something I was worried about). The straps are decent quality for the price (Be gentle when you buckle & unbuckle them, but overall, if you’re not too rough with them, I think they will be sturdy & stay looking good). The interior looks just like the picture on Amazon. The color is a nice bright red in a waterproof material. The only thing that might have been a misreading on my part is the padding that goes around the bottles is sewn in and I thought it would be removable. I prefer it sewn in. The ones where you can remove the padding (Velcro) can be flimsy. I am sure the bottles will stay in place in this carrier. Also the fact that there are adjustable straps means you can put in a wine bottle with a corker on top & still strap it closed. There are plenty of compartments for tools or even baggies filled with lime slices, olives, etc. Another nice touch: the bottom is not flimsy. There is a support piece that the bottles stand on so you really can open it up on a table & it will stand there like a pop-up bar. Considering outside of Amazon the only other bag I could find for this purpose cost $326 (!), I feel this bag is a great buy. BONUS: I don’t think the product description mentioned it comes in a beautiful box (I included a picture of it). Usually stuff just comes in a cellophane bag - not great for presentation - so the box is a great bonus since again, this is a gift. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who tailgates or goes to the beach or on picnics & would want to bring drink fixin’s!

This is a very nice bar set. It includes everything you need for a portable bar and frankly a lot of things I’ll never use. Everything stores well in the bag and there is plenty of room for 4 or even more bottles of your favorite beverage or mixers. The bag is sturdy and the handle and straps are strong enough to support the weight of several full bottles. Great travel bar or just a good place to store all those utensils. Very happy with this.

The tools are very solid and useful though I do plan to upgrade the shaker down the road. The bag is acgood way to store the items and keep everything organized though it also will probably get upgraded eventually. Overall I am happy with the purchase and the quality for what I paid.

I ordered and received the Cocktail Shaker Set: Professional Bartender Kit with Waterproof Bartender Bag- Perfect Home Bar Tools Set with Martini Shaker and Bar Accessories. My wife and I travel a fair amount, many times via automobile to vacation destinations. It is nice to be able to make one’s own cocktails in one’s hotel/motel room or cabin when on the road or at one’s destination, so you do not have to pay the inflated costs for the same, made poorly or not to one’s liking, by some part-time bartender. My desire was to have a fairly complete easily transportable travel bar set with the essential bar tools and accessories with room for 3-4 large bottles of liquor and room from some smaller bottles of mixers, aperitifs or cordials, such as bitters, simple syrup. This product, bar accessories and travel caring case meet all of my requirements and serve its intended purspose. Like other reviews have pointed out, the bar tools are good quality products which is much appreciated. All in all, I am very pleased with this purchase and our travel companions are equally impressed by our well-stocked travel bar.

Bought this as a gift for my ex, because we were always traveling to parties and making drinks for our friends. Plenty of storage and places to place your tools, pretty durable as well. Only downside is she kept it in the separation so now I don’t get to enjoy it as much.
