Mecca Bar Co., not only serves drinks but creates moments worth remembering.

When Sarah O’Donnell founded Mecca Bar Co., her goal wasn’t only to serve drinks but to create moments worth remembering. Inspired by the word Mecca, meaning a “place to gather”, she built her business focusing on connection through handcrafted beverages.

Mecca’s hand-built bars are filled with garden-grown herbs and fresh mixers in recycled glass bottles, setting the stage for drinks as beautiful as they are intentional. Each cocktail is made with organic, fresh-pressed juice and natural ingredients, offering a taste that feels both artful and authentic. Mecca Bar Co. brings more to the table than just cocktails. Mecca’s espresso and matcha setups have become a popular choice for weddings, festivals, and office dropins, offering an elevated, mindful take on a classic ritual.

What sets Mecca apart is Sarah’s ability to create signature drinks that blend styles and influences into something entirely her own. Beyond weddings and private events, Mecca has become a local favorite at Wheeler’s Farmers Market, where visitors gather each week for seasonal concoctions and warm hospitality.

Among Mecca’s most striking elements are the custom gondola bar and photo booth, where refurbished ski gondolas have been reimagined as mobile bars that bring character and charm to any event.

For Sarah, Mecca is more than a beverage catering company. It’s a place where creativity and connection meet, and where every glass raised, whether filled with espresso or a handcrafted cocktail, is a celebration of the moment.

Top Tips

WHAT’S AHEAD: We’re thrilled about our new brick-and-mortar location, giving the community a chance to experience the crossroads between coffee, tea and mixology creations in a space reflecting Mecca’s signature aesthetic of greenery, natural textures and sustainability.

EXCITED ABOUT: I’m excited about more coffee shops taking on a mixology approach to coffee. We’re just starting to see this in Utah!

FRESH IDEAS: It’s no secret we’re seeing a decline in alcohol consumption. People are being more mindful of their consumption and I totally support this! Coffee and matcha bars are starting to become more popular at weddings.
