Dry Bar Hire
What Is Dry Bar Hire?
Dry bar hire is perfect for those who want full control over their event’s drinks selection. Instead of opting for a bar stocked by a third party, you provide the alcohol — and Mr Flavour supplies the beautifully designed bar, glassware, staff, and service setup. Whether you’re looking to showcase premium spirits, avoid venue corkage fees, or align drinks with a specific theme, a dry bar gives you the freedom to serve exactly what you like, with no compromises on style or professionalism.
Bespoke Mobile Bars, Expert Staff & Endless Style Options
Our mobile dry bar hire packages include everything you need — except the booze. We offer an impressive variety of bar styles (think mirrored, LED-lit, gold-trimmed, or even marble-effect bars) to suit your event’s theme. Every setup includes optional extras like backbar displays, branded elements, bar lighting, custom menus, and themed uniforms for your bartenders or waitstaff. With our high-end bar hire team — including mixologists, flair bartenders, and event managers — your drinks service will be slick, stylish, and totally bespoke.
Frequently Asked
Questions
Is dry bar hire cheaper than a full bar package?
It depends on your setup. If you already have the alcohol or want more control over costs, dry hire can be cost-effective. However, it may involve separate fees for staff, bar furniture, glassware, and other equipment. We’ll help you decide what works best for your budget.
Can I serve cocktails with a dry bar hire?
Yes! Our skilled mixologists can pre-prepare cocktail bases (minus the alcohol) so you can simply add your chosen spirits at the event. You can even build a full cocktail menu with our help — just bring the booze!
What’s included in a typical dry hire package?
A typical package includes your chosen bar structure, bar tools, cocktail glassware, napkins, straws, and full staffing support (bartenders, mixologists, waiters, etc). You supply the alcohol, mixers, fruit, and ice.
Can I customise the bar design to match my event?
Absolutely. Choose from LED bars, mirrored finishes, ice bars, garden-themed bars, and more. We also offer backbar styling, branded elements, CO2 cannons, and other dramatic extras to match your event’s aesthetic.
What about staff uniforms and presentation?
We tailor every detail, including bar staff uniforms to match your theme. Whether you want sleek black tie, branded T-shirts, or Gatsby-inspired attire, we’ll coordinate it all.
Can dry bar hire work at private homes or outdoor events?
Yes, our mobile bar units are completely portable and adaptable to any environment — indoors or outdoors. We’ll assess space and access during your consultation to ensure a smooth installation.
Can I hire staff only without a physical bar?
Of course. We offer staff-only packages including bartenders, flair bartenders, cocktail waiters, and event managers. Ideal if you already have a bar setup or just need professional service to complement your drinks.
Do I need to supply anything else for dry hire?
Aside from the drinks, you’ll need to provide mixers, fruits, garnishes, ice, and any additional ingredients. We can supply a checklist or help coordinate logistics to make sure you’ve got everything covered.
