Hi, I’m Bridgette, founder of The Thirsty Fish, a mobile bar inspired by family, roots, and more than twenty years of bartending experience.

I was born in Spokane, Washington, but moved to Reno when I was two. This city raised me. After spending years in Las Vegas working on the Strip and later at a popular Mexican cantina inside a neighborhood casino, I built incredible relationships with regulars and learned the kind of hospitality that sticks with people long after the night ends. I’ve always genuinely enjoyed working for others and being part of a team, supporting a business and growing alongside it.

My Approach

I approach every event the same way- I’m prepared, organized, and respectful of the people I’m serving. Good service is about showing up ready and knowing what you’re responsible for. 

I enjoy making people happy, and I also believe in clear standards. I love nothing more than seeing a satisfied client and knowing they have zero regrets hiring us for their event. Clear communication and structure are what allow everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. My job is to create a well-run experience for hosts and guests alike.

Through every step, I've focused on staying true to my values and making space for thoughtful, lasting impressions.

Lasting impact

I take great pride in my work and in the fact that I’ve been in the service industry since I was 15
