This was my 1st time ever hiring a bartender…

This was my 1st time ever hiring a bartender for a personal event. Andy's bartending skills truly elevated our small gathering. His cocktail creations were so delicious, impressing all the guests. He maintained a professional and friendly demeanor throughout the event. The service was impeccable, and he ensured everyone's glasses were full. We highly recommend his services for any future celebrations. I found Dan great to deal with when going through the booking process also.

Thanks guys! Will definitely hire again for the next event!

I highly recommend hireabarman.ie after using them for my friend's hen party at the weekend. The 2 barmen were excellent and very friendly. It was a large group of 42, and they were all very impressed, and the cocktails went down a treat!

Very happy with the service!

I was recommended this company by a friend and we booked only a few days out from the event at our home. The barmen arrived early which we really appreciated. They worked hard all night and stayed on a bit later when we asked them. Very happy with the service.

Wow, what a night!

Wow, what a night!

Jose and the guys managed the cocktails and bar for a wedding at my home. From start to finish they were superb .. the cocktails were excellent and prepared and delivered with all the fancy moves and panache we hoped for. They were a huge hit with the guests.

Thanks guys for an outstanding service.

40th Birthday party

The whole process was just so easy. Michael arrived early and set up the bar with ease. He was such a gentleman and went above and beyond all evening. I would highly recommend and definitely book again. A number of friends were also so impressed, they asked about booking.

Didn’t show up & then ghosted us

Booked a bartender 2 months in advance for a friends hen party, paid a deposit of €195. Spent weeks back and forth communicating with these lads, selecting cocktails & confirming times. On the day of the event(Saturday) I checked how to pay the remaining balance and they emailed at 12:30pm that it would be cash. 6:30pm arrived and no sign of the bartender.
I called both numbers on their website and in their email signature 12 times, no answer. I emailed them, no response. I sent them a message on Instagram, they still haven’t opened it. I received an email 2 days later(Monday) saying they don’t check emails on weekends, despite the fact that they emailed me earlier that day. They asked if my bartender arrived, they clearly did not have a clue. I have been refunded but it ruined our entire event. I will be invoicing the company for the cocktail signs & bar favours we purchased, as well as the cost of getting additional alcohol in last minute. Friends have since told me the company just hire freelance bartenders via Facebook posts a few days before the event, there is no planning ahead and certainly no guarantees your bartender will arrive. Avoid.

An amazing experience!

I could not have been happier with Michael and his team. They were amazing.

Michael is a true gentlemen and obviously well used to his role as he was helping me get organised before guests arrived.

I will absolutely use Michael again and hope to request the same serving staff as they were all brilliant.

We had a cocktail making class with Finton

We had a cocktail making class with Finton on the 07/06/2024, it was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Finton was very engaging and knowledgeable, any questions we had were all answered with no hesitation. Everyone had a great afternoon and was a great start to out team summer party. We had a late arrival and to make sure she didn't miss out Finton made her 2 cocktails for when she arrived. I would definitely recommend Hire A Barman and we will use them again in the future.

Excellent service

We hired these guys for my daughter’s 21st. They were very well organised and professional. Steve, who turned up early to set up was a lovely guy and a true professional. We will definitely use them again

Paloma was amazing!

We recently had Paloma at a "at home" hen party! I couldn't have asked for a better service, she was so professional and the drinks she made were gorgeous! I'd highly recommend this service for any special event or occasion you may be having!

Jose was fabulous!!

We had a work party last Friday night with Jose as our mixologist. He was superb!! He was the star of the night and the cocktails were delicious! The passionfruit martini in particular was very popular. Jose was so accommodating with any requests we had. He chatted to everyone and really added to the party atmosphere!! I would definitely recommend him for future events and some of the staff have already asked for his contact details. In terms of organisation he called us the day before to confirm the address and the time and he arrived and was set up in 15/20 mins and similarly was cleaned up very quickly. looking forward to having Jose for our next work event!

I booked 2 barmen for my 21st and they could not have been better! Constant communication and cooperation leading up to the day, they rang earlier in the day to double check when to show up and made sure everything was ok. They were absolutely brilliant at their jobs!! They could not have been nicer and they kept an amazing energy all night! Will definitely be using again and recommending to friends

Professional and personable

Keith was great. Reached out to us ahead of the event, asked to be briefed, arrived prepared (had to learn a few bespoke cocktails). Worked very hard to minimise the wait time, was very personable and fun.
