cocktail service in Portsmouth
Tipsy Parties provides cocktail bartender hire right across Portsmouth and the wider Hampshire area. From Gunwharf Quays to Southsea, your bartenders travel to your venue with all the equipment needed to prepare your chosen cocktails for you and your guests.

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.
With its naval history, the Spinnaker Tower and the seafront at Southsea, Portsmouth is a city that knows how to celebrate. A cocktail bartender turns any Portsmouth venue, from a flat near Gunwharf Quays to a house in Southsea, 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.
