Cocktail bar hire, answered

The Cocktail Lab's mobile bar hire package includes the bar setup, professional mixologists (typically 1 per 30 guests), glassware, ice, mixers, garnishes, and full setup and cleanup. Packages can be tailored with bespoke menus, themed setups, or specific drinks to suit your event.

Cost depends on guest numbers (we staff 1 mixologist per 30 guests), whether you choose an all-inclusive bar or dry hire, and service length (most events run 2–4 hours). Bespoke quotes cover everything from intimate gatherings to corporate galas of up to 3,000+ guests.
