Event bartenders
Bartenders are the difference between a bar and a bottleneck. Ours arrive early, know the run-sheet before they walk in, work the room at the right pace, and leave the space cleaner than they found it.
| Guests | Bartenders | Support | Typical service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 30 | 1 | — | Batched cocktails, beer and wine, 4 hours |
| 30–60 | 2 | — | Two cocktails on rotation plus wine service |
| 60–100 | 2 | 1 barback | Cocktails, wine, tray-served arrival drinks |
| 100–150 | 3 | 1 barback + bar manager | Two service points, tray service at peak |
| 150–250 | 4–5 | 2 barbacks + bar manager | Two bars, split menus, staged arrivals |
Service stops, glassware is collected and packed, surfaces are wiped, waste and empties leave with us. On residential jobs we work quietly during de-rig — most late-night complaints come from load-out, not the party.

Questions we get asked
Two bartenders plus a barback is the usual answer for a four-hour party with a short cocktail menu. Add a third if the menu is made-to-order or the room is split across floors.
Four hours of service. Crew arrive 60–90 minutes before that to build and prep, and stay to clear down; those hours are included, not billed separately.
Yes. Plenty of hosts buy their own spirits and wine and book us for the people, kit and cocktails. We'll tell you what to buy and in what quantities.
Black shirt or apron as standard. If your event has a dress code, tell us and the crew match it.
