A cocktail cart is the small, dressed bar that fits where a full bar will not — a courtyard, a hallway, the end of a long table. We bring it, we staff it, and we take it away again. You choose the drinks.
20% off events held Monday to Thursday. Spring and summer Saturdays book out first, so check your date.
What a cocktail cart is
Most people searching for a cocktail cart have a space problem, not a drinks problem. The cart solves the space.
A courtyard, a verandah, the end of a hallway, beside the dance floor. Somewhere a six-foot bar would block the room.
An RSA-trained bartender comes with it. A cart nobody is working is a table with bottles on it.
Coupes, highballs and rocks glasses, polished and packed. No plastic cups, however small the setting.
Enough ice and cold storage for the length of your service, in a Queensland summer.
Fresh citrus, herbs, syrups and juices on cocktail packages. The part that makes it taste made rather than poured.
Shakers, jiggers, bins, cloths. Set-up and pack-down included, never billed as service time.
Cart or full bar?
Guest numbers decide this more than anything else. We will tell you if you are asking for the wrong one.
Not sure which? Tell us the room and the headcount on the enquiry form and we will say which one we would bring. It is a thirty-second answer and it is free.
Where a cart earns its place
How it runs
Where it is, roughly when, and roughly how many. Six words is enough to start. We will come back with whether a cart or a bar suits it.
Staff, kit, travel and set-up in one number. Minimums are written in the quote. Nothing is added afterwards.
Bump-in takes an hour to an hour and a half and is not billed as service time. The cart is dressed and ready before the first guest.
Pack-down is ours. The space is left as we found it, which at a house party matters more than anything else on this page.
Cocktail cart hire, answered
It depends on how long you want them served for and what they are drinking. Tell us the headcount and the hours on the enquiry form and we will tell you honestly whether a cart will keep up or whether you want the full bar. We would rather say so before you book than have a queue on the night.
Yes. Every booking is staffed with RSA-trained bartenders. We do not drop equipment off and leave you to it — an unstaffed cart is a table with bottles on it, and it is also a licensing problem.
You supply the spirits, beer and wine. We bring everything else: ice, glassware, garnish, mixers, syrups and all the equipment. It works out cheaper for you, and it means you drink what you actually like. We will tell you how much to buy.
Indoors, yes — that is largely the point of a cart. Stairs, lifts and narrow entries we need to know about in advance so we bring the right people and allow the right time. Mention it in your enquiry and it is never a problem.
Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast as standard, and further across Queensland and northern New South Wales. Travel is quoted up front rather than added later.
Spring and summer Saturdays go first, often months out. Midweek is easier and 20% cheaper. If your date is close, ask anyway — we would rather tell you quickly than have you assume.
Tell us the date, the place and roughly how many. If you are not sure of any of it, say so — “not sure yet” is a real answer on our form and we will work from what you do know.
