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 Newcastle since 2012, at private homes, rented venues, hotels and offices across Newcastle, Gateshead, North Shields, Sunderland, Durham, Chester-le-Street and Blyth.
Newcastle is famous for its nightlife, but some of the best nights happen at home, whether that is a birthday in Jesmond or an Airbnb near the Tyne Bridge. A cocktail bartender turns any Newcastle 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.
