Event types

Launches, conferences, client nights and the Christmas party

The objective changes. The bar adjusts to it.

  • Launch

    Product and office launches

    A bar that becomes the centrepiece, and a menu named after what you are launching.

  • Conference

    Conferences and summits

    Arrival drinks, a masterclass in the breakout slot, a stocked bar for the after-session.

  • Client

    Client and networking events

    Appreciation nights, property showcases, partner drinks. Short queues keep the conversations going.

  • Office

    EOFY, anniversaries and milestones

    Reward the team without anyone from the team running the bar.

  • December

    Christmas and end-of-year parties

    Long lunches to late finishes. Book four cocktail hours and the fifth is free.

  • Activation

    Brand activations

    A branded bar in a showroom, a pop-up or in front of a media wall. Describe the odd brief; we like them.

Presentation

Your brand on the menu, and behind the bar

Procurement wants certainty. Marketing wants it to look right. Both are covered.

  • Branded cocktail menus: signature drinks named for the product, the company or the campaign, printed menu cards on the bar.
  • Uniformed, RSA and RMLV trained bartenders, fully insured, documents on request.
  • A bar dressed to the space, or a cocktail station beside the venue's existing bar.
  • Sparkling, beer and wine service alongside the cocktail list.
  • Non-alcoholic and low-alcohol options on every menu.

Process

From brief to invoice in four steps

Built for EAs, event managers and procurement teams who need dates, numbers and paperwork early.

  1. Brief

    Date, venue, headcount, run time and the objective, through the contact page or on 0458 119 959.

  2. Itemised quote

    Staffing, hours, package, branding and travel in plain figures. Nothing added later without approval.

  3. Deposit and run sheet

    A deposit secures the date. Then the menu, the branding, venue liaison, and RSA and insurance documents on request.

  4. On the day

    We arrive 1 to 1.5 hours early, time service to the speeches, and pack down after the last round. The balance follows the terms in your quote.

Large guest numbers are a staffing question, not a limit. More bartenders and more service points keep queues short at a 300-person Christmas party.

Team activities

A masterclass instead of a bar tab

A hosted cocktail masterclass turns the drinks into the activity. We bring the bar, the ingredients and the glassware to your office or venue.

  • The Professors: the team shakes, stirs and drinks what they make.
  • The Tasting Package: guided gin and whiskey, or rum and liqueur.
  • Suits team-building days, client engagement, leadership retreats, staff rewards and conference breakouts.
  • Groups of any size, run in rounds so everyone gets a shaker.

What corporate clients say

Could not recommend The Barmen enough! We engaged the team for a client event and they absolutely nailed it. The cocktails were incredible, the service was fantastic and the whole setup looked even better! Nothing was too much trouble and the team genuinely cared about getting every detail right.

Good to know

Corporate bar hire questions, answered

What is included in corporate bar hire?

Depending on the package: RSA-trained bartenders and floor staff, the mobile bar and service equipment, ice, garnish and consumables, with set-up and pack-down included. Drinks run from beer, wine and sparkling to a branded cocktail menu, with non-alcoholic choices on every list. We quote only for serving time.

Can you handle a large corporate event in Brisbane?

Yes. Headcount, drink selection and service style set the staffing; large events get more bartenders and more service points so queues stay short. We coordinate with your venue so service lines up with speeches and presentations.

Can you set up in our office, or beside the venue's bar?

Yes. Most set-ups need no power, only light to work by and water nearby. If the venue has a bar we can staff it, run a cocktail station beside it, or bring our own as a second service point. We arrive 1 to 1.5 hours before service.

Can the cocktail menu be branded to our company?

Yes. Signature cocktails named for the product, company or campaign, in your colours where the ingredients allow, with printed menu cards on the bar. Send the brief with your enquiry.

How does a corporate cocktail masterclass work?

Our bartenders bring the bar, ingredients and glassware to your office or venue and lead the group through a set of cocktails, drinking what they make. Guided gin, whiskey and rum tastings are also available.

How do the 20% midweek discount and the End of Year Deal work?

Any event held Monday to Thursday receives 20% off, applied to the quote automatically. The 2026 End of Year Deal adds a fifth hour free to any four-hour cocktail package booked for an end-of-year event. The two can be combined.

How do we book and pay for event bar hire?

Send the date, venue and approximate headcount. We confirm availability and send an itemised quote with no hidden costs; a deposit secures the date and the balance follows the terms in your quote. Purchase orders are welcome. Travel, extended service or upgrades are agreed before the event; interstate work across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria is quoted the same way.
