Tipsy Parties provides cocktail bartender hire right across Lincoln and the wider Lincolnshire area. From the Bailgate to Steep Hill, your bartenders travel to your venue with all the equipment needed to prepare your chosen cocktails for you and your guests.
“LINCOLN”
You can hire the bartender team only, add cocktail glassware, or add both the glassware and ingredients for a complete service. We will also help you plan your cocktail menu and, when you are providing the ingredients yourself, supply a detailed shopping list with everything you need. Optional extras, including portable bar hire, can also be added for an additional fee.
We have been offering our services to happy customers in and around Lincoln since 2012, at private homes, rented venues, hotels and offices across Lincoln, Gainsborough, Newark, Woodhall Spa and Dunholme.
In the shadow of Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle, the Bailgate and Steep Hill make a memorable setting for a hen do or a 30th birthday. A cocktail bartender turns any Lincoln venue into a proper cocktail bar: you choose the cocktails and how long you want the service for, and your bartender makes them fresh for your guests, so you can enjoy your own party.

Frequently asked questions about bartender hire in Lincoln
Do I need to supply the ingredients?
It is up to you. You can hire the bartender team only, add cocktail glassware, or add both the glassware and ingredients for a complete service. If you are providing the ingredients yourself, we will send you a detailed shopping list for your chosen cocktails.
Can I hire a mobile bar as well?
Yes. Portable bar hire can be added as an optional extra for an additional fee.
How long can I hire a bartender for?
You choose your service length when you get your quote.
Can your team manage Steep Hill with all the bar equipment?
Absolutely. We are used to navigating Steep Hill and the Cathedral Quarter in Lincoln, and there are vehicle access points and loading bays near the Bailgate area. We only allow 30 minutes for setup, so we may need to book additional setup time for uphill locations. Please enquire about this before booking and we can advise.
Can I book a bartender in Lincoln during Lincoln Christmas Market (early December)?
Yes, you can absolutely book during Lincoln Christmas Market! Just be aware that the city gets extremely busy and roads around the cathedral and castle area are closed to vehicles. We only allow 30 minutes for setup so if road access is a little tricky, we recommend mentioning Lincoln Christmas Market when you book and we can advise on whether to allow some extra setup time.
Can you set up at student accommodation near the University of Lincoln?
We certainly can. Your bartenders come to you, so student halls, shared houses, rented flats and any other type of accommodation all work perfectly.
What if my venue in the Bailgate and uphill area in Lincoln does not have parking nearby?
No problem at all. All parking costs are included in your booking and our team will find suitable parking near your venue, whether that is an NCP, pay-and-display, or a residential street. You do not need to arrange anything for us.
Do you cover areas outside Lincoln?
Yes, we cover all of Lincoln and the surrounding area, including Gainsborough, Newark, Woodhall Spa and Dunholme. We also offer a cocktail making class in Lincoln. In fact, we cover the whole of the UK!
How far in advance should I book a bartender in Lincoln?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for Friday and Saturday evenings and during popular periods in Lincoln. That said, we are flexible and can sometimes accommodate last-minute bookings.
