Party Bar Hire for Birthdays & Private Parties

A delivered bar for birthdays, anniversaries, house parties and hired halls. This page is party bar hire for a private party at home or a venue, not a corporate event. Choose a staffed bar or dry hire.

What Private Parties Usually Need

Birthdays, anniversaries and garden parties often share similar bar setup needs. For a complete setup, see mobile bar hire for parties. For a staffed serve, see a cocktail bar with a mixologist:

Birthdays & Milestones

House parties, 30th or 40th celebrations, or landmark birthdays. A mobile bar or keg setup works well for most guest counts.

Garden Parties

Summer barbecues and outdoor gatherings. Draught beer, Pimm's on tap, or a staffed bar. We bring everything to you.

Anniversaries & Engagements

Celebrations that deserve something special. Cocktails, prosecco bars or draught systems to suit the style of your party.

House Parties

Dry hire if you're supplying drinks, or hire a bartender for your party. We adapt to your space and budget.

Stag and hen weekends have their own page. See stag and hen do bar hire.

Hire a bar for a party at home or a venue

Hiring a bar for a party is a delivered, set-up unit at a house, garden or hired hall. Party bar hire is for private hosts: birthdays, anniversaries and similar celebrations, not office events.

The unit needs a clear patch of floor and a route in that a portable bar can take. Outdoor setups work on level ground. Indoor halls and living rooms need space for the bar and a queue that does not block the door. A serving hatch, as at Lifford Hall, can work if there is room in front of it. Coolers and fridges need a standard power socket near the bar. We discuss access and parking when you enquire.

Glassware is part of a full setup, or you can add glass hire if you already have drinks. A cash bar means guests pay for what they drink, by card or cash. A paid-for bar means you cover the drinks. For a staffed cash bar, see the mobile bar page.

Need staff only? Hire a bartender for your party. Dry hire of the unit still goes through mobile bar hire.

Party bar hire FAQs

Most setups need a clear patch of floor for the unit and a queue, typically around 2m by 1.5m for the bar itself, plus a standard 13-amp socket within about 10 metres. Outdoor bars need level ground. Indoor halls and houses need a route in that a portable unit can take. We can work with tight spaces and stairs. Tell us the doorway and access when you enquire.

Yes. Hire a bartender for your party if you already have a bar and drinks. Dry hire of a mobile unit is still via mobile bar hire.
