Pour decisions

Ever wanted to drink from a horse trailer? Now’s your chance: The Loaded Pony, a Staunton-based mobile bar, offers just that. 

Combining her love of entertaining, creativity, and hospitality with a unique setting (a vintage 1960s horse trailer), owner Kimerly Crawford launched the business in 2019 after transforming the formerly pale pink structure into an elegant mobile bar. 

Here’s how it works: Book your date (sooner rather than later, Crawford says) and Loaded Pony will help craft a menu that works with your event. The team offers beer, wines, and specialty cocktails, as well as non-alcoholic beverages like mocktails and coffee. 

“We specialize in perfecting custom craft cocktails for your big day using fresh ingredients and custom simple syrups,” Crawford says. “And we offer personalized menu recommendations.”

Make it your own: Loaded Pony also offers add-ons like a 6-foot whiskey barrel bar, vintage ice tubs, and other décor.

“Our goal,” says Crawford, “is to be your best pour decision.”
