About Us.

The Top Shelf dream began in 2018 when James and his son Ian thought it would be a great idea to modify a horse trailer into a unique and highly capable mobile bar for parties.  The journey started fast with a teardown of unneeded items, stripping of the trim, and repair of the floor.  It is a 1988 WW manufactured in Clackamas OR.  Next was the design and dream of a finished product.  They hired a metal fabrication person to complete what they didn’t have tools to finish.  Then the pandemic and a two-year setback as the fabricator would not finish the job.  Finally, another start and stop for Ian and James when Ian moved to Idaho… life goes on.  It sat in the barn for years with strong bones and promise but not finished.  At a summer celebration where the Moore’s, Selnau’s, and Buchheit’s were gathering in 2023 the partnership dream and handshake agreement came to be when viewing the unfinished trailer.  It took all hands and ideas to put the finishing touches on the trailer and we are so proud to help you celebrate at your events.  We pride ourselves on providing professional bar needs for both private and public events.  Please see our list of event packages and please reach out with any questions.  Bookings and open dates are hard to come by so plan early and “lock up the fun with Top Shelf.”
