Edinburgh bartender hire
Tipsy Parties provides cocktail bartender hire right across Edinburgh and the Lothians. From the Grassmarket to the Royal Mile, 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.
Scotland’s capital, with Edinburgh Castle above the city and the lively Grassmarket below, is a fantastic place for a hen party, birthday or get-together with friends. A cocktail bartender turns any Edinburgh 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.
