Mobile Bar Packages & Pricing

Bartenders for a bar you already have, the full mobile cocktail bar, or a hosted masterclass. Every package is shaped to your guest count, hours and venue, and quoted with nothing hidden.

The Barmen Plus starts at $350 per hour for a cocktail party of up to 25 guests — the mobile bar, glassware, cocktail ingredients and the team, with alcohol BYO — and is built out from there on guest count, hours and venue. 20% off events held Monday to Thursday.

BYO or supplied

You buy the alcohol. We tell you exactly what and how much.

All BYO packages require you to purchase the alcohol. It keeps the labels on the back bar your choice, and the spend in your hands.

  • Purchasing guidance on brands and quantities, so you are well stocked without overspend
  • We bring the rest: bartenders, bar, glassware, ice, mixers and equipment on bar packages
  • Prefer us to supply? Ask and we build a supplied option into your quote
  • Venue events: bar tab management alongside the existing bar

Pricing

Tailored quotes, no surprises

A two-hour cocktail hour for forty and a six-hour wedding bar for two hundred are different jobs, so there is no price list. Every enquiry gets an itemised quote.

  • Upfront pricing. Travel, extended service time and upgrades are discussed and approved before your event
  • Set-up and pack-down included, never billed as service time. We finish with a last round and leave the area clean
  • Minimum booking duration on every package, shown clearly in your quote
  • Deposit secures the date once you approve the quote
  • 20% off Monday to Thursday, applied automatically
  • 2026 End of Year Deal: book a four-hour cocktail package for your end of year party and the fifth hour is free. See corporate bar hire

Package questions

Mobile bar packages, answered

What is the difference between The Barmen and The Barmen Plus?

The Barmen is bartenders only: you supply the alcohol, mixers and glasses, and we bring our team and tools to work your existing bar. The Barmen Plus adds our mobile bar, non-alcoholic ingredients, glassware, ice, garnish and equipment, so the only thing you buy is the alcohol.

Do you publish a full price list?

No. Every package is customised to guest numbers, service hours, drinks menu and location, so a fixed price list would be misleading. Enquire with your date and details and we send a tailored, itemised quote with every cost shown upfront.

Is there a minimum booking time?

Yes. Every package carries a minimum booking duration so preparation, service and pack-down are done to standard. Minimums are outlined clearly in your quote, and set-up and pack-down are never counted as service time.

Which package is best for a wedding?

Most couples choose The Barmen Plus for a full cocktail bar with tray service through cocktail hour, then add towers, ice luges or a Ring for Cocktail wall. Couples with a venue bar often choose The Barmen or The Waiters for staff only. With 100 weddings behind us, we are happy to recommend the fit.

How does the 2026 End of Year Deal work?

Book a four-hour cocktail package for your 2026 end of year party and we add a fifth hour free of charge. Mention it when you enquire and it is written into your quote.

Are the packages available outside Brisbane?

Yes. Every package is available in Brisbane, on the Gold Coast and in Sydney, and we travel across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. Travel fees may apply outside our standard service areas and are always discussed before you book.
