Hire A Barman is a bar staff and mobile bar hire company based in Dublin that serves all of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Its activity focuses on bringing the experience of a professional cocktail bar to wherever the event is held, whether it be a private home, an office or a rented space for a celebration. The company presents itself as a full-service option: it handles setup, service and cleanup at the end, so the host can participate as just another guest.

Bookable bar services

The service catalogue includes several options that can be combined or booked separately:

• Hire of professional bartenders and mixologists, with fixed hourly rates.
• Mobile cocktail bar hire, both in the bar-and-staff-only mode (dry hire) and with all-inclusive cocktail catering packages.
• Hands-on cocktail and mixology classes, taught at the client's home or office.
• Drinks packages and custom cocktail menus, designed according to the event theme or the client's tastes.
• Prosecco and Spritz Bar, which the company describes as its Italian bar and advertises for summer 2026 events.
• Complementary services for hen parties, such as buff butlers.

According to the website information, standard packages include a professional bartender and cocktail-making utensils, while other options add ice, ingredients and glassware. The company also offers help with creating the shopping list and glassware hire.

Types of events served

The company states it covers private and corporate events of any size. Among the types of celebration it mentions are house parties, hen parties, weddings, corporate events, conferences, product launches and trade fairs or exhibitions. There is also a specific mobile bar service for gender reveals and brand activations, with all-inclusive popup bars.

Geographic coverage

Hire A Barman operates from Dublin and travels to events in the rest of the country. The website lists locations such as Dublin, Carlingford, Wicklow, Kilkenny, Athlone, Galway, Carrick, Limerick, Cork, Belfast and Derry, as well as Meath, Wexford and Waterford. The company defines itself as a nationwide coverage provider, serving both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Booking and reservation process

The company describes a four-step procedure to formalize a booking: the client sends the event details (location, date and number of attendees), the events team responds with the packages and rates available in the area, the client chooses the option that suits their needs and, finally, pays a deposit that confirms the date and the selected package.

Regarding timelines, the website recommends booking at least four to six weeks in advance for house parties and a minimum of three months for weddings, although it indicates that it tries to accommodate last-minute requests. The catalogue also showed a 10% discount offer for 2027 wedding bookings confirmed before August 2026.

Service profile

The company's offering combines bar staff, mobile bars and cocktail classes under a single coordination. According to its presentation, each event has a dedicated coordinator who helps select the drinks based on the theme of the celebration. The company targets both individuals organizing a party at home and organizations looking for a bar service for a corporate event.
