We asked the team: what’s your go-to drink? 🍸

And, they gave us quite the variety!

Luckily, here at Hire The Bar, we’ve got plenty of options to choose from. From cocktails and draught beer to premium spirits, branded drinks, bespoke creations and 0% options, there really is something for everyone.

What would you be ordering from our bar? Let us know your go-to drink in the comments! 👇

Does A Bow Tie Make Someone A Bartender? 🎩🍸

We’ve all seen it… the bow tie appears, the waistcoat comes out, and suddenly someone looks like they know their way around a bar.

But, a uniform doesn’t pour a perfect drink, remember your guests’ favourite cocktail, or keep a bar running smoothly when 150 people arrive at once!

The bow tie has long been associated with formal, traditional service - a style of hospitality built around a clear divide between the person serving and the person being served, reinforcing the idea that service was about status and hierarchy.

That’s not the kind of hospitality we believe in. For us, great bartending comes from knowledge, experience, personality, and genuinely caring about creating a great experience for every guest.

That’s why our team wear uniforms that are smart but also comfortable and practical - because happy bartenders create better experiences. No uncomfortable costumes and certainly no pretending… just a brilliant team who know their stuff and love what they do.

The most important 15 minutes of your wedding reception…

After hundreds of weddings, we’ve noticed the same thing every time. Guests arrive looking around, figuring out where to go, searching for familiar faces and waiting to see what happens next.

Then they’re handed a drink.

Almost instantly, people begin to relax. Conversations flow naturally, guests start mingling, and the whole atmosphere feels more comfortable.

Holding a drink gives guests something to do and makes it much easier to strike up a conversation!

That’s why we’re so particular about welcome drinks. We always position the drinks where guests arrive, so there’s no confusion and no awkward waiting around.

Trust us, you and your guests will thank us later. 🥂
