Exhibition bar hire that keeps visitors on your stand

Mr Flavour builds and staffs exhibition stand bars for exhibitors, stand builders and agencies at trade shows and expos across the UK and Europe. Exhibition bar hire with us covers the bar, the team, the menu and the branding, as part of our corporate event bar hire service.

A drink made to order holds a visitor for 60 to 90 seconds, long enough for your sales team to open a conversation. On the gaming expo circuit our stand bars serve up to 1,500 drinks per stand, per day, and visitors hand over a card for a drink they would never swap for a leaflet. Want the leads too? Our team can scan badges at the bar while the drink is made, using your own scanners or app.

Mornings run on coffee. A barista coffee bar opens the floor with branded cups, then cocktails and mocktails take over for the afternoon and the close of show drinks.

Designed to drop into your stand build

The bar fits designs from stand builders, agencies and in house teams as an added layer, not a rebuild. Fronts, wraps, menus, uniforms and glassware carry your brand, sized to the footprint you give us.

Stations are compact and self contained. We build inside the assigned slot and clear the stand inside the breakdown window. Send us the stand plan and we will tell you what power to order.

For PlayLogiq at ICE the bar sat inside the stand in the brand’s orange and teal, with custom vests and etched coupes. For Betfinal it became a Moroccan hospitality world, with mint tea poured from height from a silver teapot. Need the whole stand branded? See branded bar hire.

What sets the cost of a stand bar

Exhibition bar hire is quoted per stand. There is no rate card. These set the figure:

Show days and opening hours
Expected footfall and drinks per day
Bar footprint and format
Branding, glassware and stand integration
Staff per shift
Menu: coffee, cocktails, mocktails or a mix
Venue requirements, including power and water

Send the show, dates, stand number and expected footfall, and we will return a costed proposal for the full run. For the planning detail, from stand builder briefs to power, read our guide to trade show bar theatre.

For stand builders and organisers

What your stand builder, the organiser and the venue will ask us for.

Build and breakdown. We build inside the assigned slot and clear the stand inside the breakdown window, planned around the venue’s schedule.
Power. One 13A socket covers most builds. Larger bars take a second circuit. A coffee station needs two sockets: one for the two group espresso machine, one for the grinder.
Water. Fully self contained, so no plumbing is needed. We can add a hygiene sink if your stand needs one.
Venue rules. Every venue has its own catering rules. We liaise with the venue and its caterer on your behalf.
Licensing. A licence is only needed when alcohol is sold. Free serves on your stand need none, and if you are selling, we can cover the licensing for you.
Show days. One team runs your stand for the whole show, and across the calendar if you exhibit at several.
Insurance and safety. £10 million public liability with Hiscox, in force to 01/03/2027. PAT certification valid to 12/05/2027. RAMS on request.
Payment. Purchase orders and 30 day invoicing accepted case by case with enough notice, standard terms otherwise. MF Alchemists Ltd, VAT GB 257 3522 01.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A huge thank you to Paul and the team. The service you provided, as always, was outstanding. The drinks looked incredible and tasted amazing, and they perfectly complemented the atmosphere and style we were aiming for.

I also really appreciate all the work that went on behind the scenes beforehand, from the menu planning to sourcing the glassware and everything in between. Your attention to detail and support throughout the process made a real difference, so thank you once again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn't be happier with the service from Mr Flavour for our wedding! From the initial planning stages right through to the big day Paul and the entire team were fantastic. Their communication, professionalism and attention to detail made everything so easy and stress-free.

The cocktails were absolutely incredible – beautifully presented, delicious, and a huge hit with all of our guests. The team didn't just serve drinks they turned cocktail making into a show bringing great energy and entertainment that our guests loved. We also had a fabulous Champagne tower which was a real highlight and created such a special moment during the day.

On the day, the team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and added something really special to our wedding. A special thank you to Paul for all of his help leading up to the event and for making sure everything was perfect on the day.

We are so grateful for everything the team did and would highly recommend Mr Flavour to anyone looking for exceptional drinks and outstanding service!
