In 2017, Myles “Soapy” Saunders began bartending to support himself through college. As the pandemic closed bars and clubs, his passion for hospitality and entrepreneurship led him to launch Soapy’s Bartending Services—bringing the energy of a bar to any location.

After managing several popular bars in Sacramento, Myles took his skills abroad and completed an advanced bartending course at the European Bartending School in London. Upon returning, he transitioned into full-time mixology and continued building his private bartending brand.


In 2022, the company rebranded as Royal Bartending Co.. What started with family and friends has grown into a go-to service for NBA players, business owners, and renowned wedding planners. Today, Royal Bartending Co. stands as one of Northern California’s leading private bartending companies.
