Hire A Barman Ireland Reviews 96

I had these guys booked for my 50th birthday party at home. Everything went amazing, from the initial enquiry to the night. The two bartenders on the night were excellent and looked after my family and guests so well.
Thanks to Hire a Barman for a great night, I highly recommend them

Excellent service, I booked 2 waiters for a party in my home. They came early, were extremely pleasant, worked hard serving drinks and food, left having cleaned up as much as possible. Couldn’t recommend them enough, 5 star service

Awful service! Booked them for my sisters hen. They never arrived and didn't let me know until 45 minutes after they were due to arrive they wouldn't be coming. We didn't have another activity planned or drinks in for everyone. Really really disappointing

I was recently at a party and they had hired a barman for cocktails called Michael from this company. The cocktails were the nicest cocktails I have ever had! He was so professional, friendly, and cleaned up everything before leaving. Would highly recommend. Five stars.

I was at a Hen Party recently where Michael came and made cocktails for about 20 girls. It was brilliant. We had three cocktails to choose from and he was so quick at making them. It was great that we could chat and have fun and get a drink easily.

Couldn’t recommend these guys enough. Booked them for a hen at the weekend. Michael was the mixologist & he was super! Cocktails were amazing, so so nice. Ended up paying for him to stay longer and more cocktails. Will definitely be using these guys again!

We had Michael, the mixologist, with us on Saturday evening for my daughters fun filled hen do. This was a first for me as I had never been to a cocktail making class. Michael was brilliant. He arrived promptly and set up for the class before getting the ladies ready to begin. We had so much fun and he was great to be with. He gave a very engaging and fun session which all of the ladies enjoyed suiting the cocktails to individual tastes. When requested he was able to alter cocktails to the spirit of choice.

I would highly recommend him to anyone. We had a broad range of ages from 17 - 62 and each cocktail could also be made a mocktail. It was an amazing experience and everyone loved it with everyone saying they would to do something like this again. Michael is a gem!

We booked a bartender to serve cocktails at our Paddy's Day event in the office, and José was absolutely brilliant – really amiable and he even helped us with the decorating before he started on the cocktails. Super professional and great attention to detail as well. We'll definitely be back in the future.

We recently used this company for a corporate event in our office of 90 people.
We hired 2 bartenders - Michael and Mauricio and the guys were brilliant! We made some lovely cocktails and everyone had a great time.
We had to change timings at the last minute and they were very accomodating which was appreciated. They were very quiet as they set up while we had a meeting and you wouldn't have known they were there. Highly reccommended.

We booked a cocktail class for a hen party through hire a barman. The class was great fun and the cocktails were delicious. I found hire a Barman great to deal with, they always replied quickly to any queries I had before the class. I would definitely recommend a cocktail class with hire a barman.

Had a really great experience for this Cocktail class - our bartender Jay was great. We did this as part of my friends Hen and it was a really great experience

I had booked a mobile cocktail class for a hen party, I had sent multiple emails the week of the event, eventually received a phonecall 2 days before the event and was told all was ok and we were booked for 8pm, however I had booked the event for 1pm, they told me that should be fine and we will ring you later. I received no phonecall. I contacted them multiple times via phone and email with no response to wake up the day of the event to an email stating they had cancelled as they had mixed up the times. Left me totally in the lurch the day of the event and unable to organise and alternative. I wouldn't recommend using them as their not reliable.

Amazing Experience!

We hired Hire a Barman for our Pre Christmas event. It was an amazing experience, they are very well organized.
My first contact was with Dan who suggested the best options for the day.
Our staff were delighted with Hire a Barman service and I have to say that the cocktails were amazing! We hired two Bartenders but they also had another staff to cover the cleaning side and set up, so all ran very smoothly.
We definitely would hire them for future events.

Our big thanks to the whole team!

I was in contact with Hireabarman about 3 weeks before our work Christmas party and was scrambling to get something sorted for the event. Hireabarman were amazing and so attentive. Jose was our barman for the night and couldn't recommend him more. We work in a small office based in Dublin 8 and he arrived on-time with an amazing set-up, ready to look after us for the night. Couldn't recommend them enough :) Emma @ Digitize New Media

What a fantastic experience it was! The bartender was excellent. He arrived 10 mins early which was good and just got on with setting up.
He was friendly and polite and a lot of my guests commented on how good he was.I would highly recommend using this Company

I hired a mixologist for a house party and I'm very happy with my experience. Dan was very helpful in the initial stages of the booking and explained clearly what's available and included in the various packages. Our barman Anton was very professional, well dressed, and the cocktails were delicious. All of our guests were happy. The prices are very reasonable, especially compared to the exorbitant prices quoted by other companies which seem more geared towards corporate events.

Great service. The bartender texted in advance to communicate all that was needed. Turned up on time and provided service all night! Would recommend.

Tried to hire them this time last year. I asked a simple question "Do you accept Revolut?" and also do you have references. Alina wrote back that as they are a "business" they don't take Revoult! Ok. Also said that asking for references was one of the oddest emails she had ever got. So rude, so bizarre, so unprofessional. I am so glad I got this response before I paid a deposit as I can see the scam is there and they take your money and run. They should be reported to the Ombusman. STAY AWAY

OMG. Had a corporate event and they canceled on the morning of the event. 20 people left with no event for two hours. We had invoiced so they could not bail on the money, but DO NOT USE THEM. Buyer beware is all I can say. I wish I had looked at the reviews before booking. NEVER USE THEM.

This company is not legit - do not waste your time or money. I wish I had read the reviews ahead of booking a mixologist from this “company” - I too was ghosted and let down.

I booked a mixologist for a party on Sunday 30th Oct just under a month in advance. “Dan” was initially really responsive to emails. I paid my deposit of €100 and was confident I had secured my booking. I did get a bit of a bad feeling when the company address on the invoice was just a really long residential road in Clontarf in Dublin, no house or unit number, but I didn’t think too deeply about it.

As I had heard nothing from Dan since my initial booking, I emailed him 4 days before my event to confirm that we were all set - I heard nothing back. I tried calling the numbers on the website but they rang out for 3 days. I sent multiple emails to Dan, essentially begging him to respond. I heard nothing so ditched the idea that anyone was coming and went and bought all ingredients for the cocktails we were having so I could do it myself.

A couple of hours before my event, I got a bizarre response from Dan to say he couldn’t make it, he was due to fly back to Dublin to arrive in at 5pm but he was delayed until 9pm (he was due to be at my house at 9pm). I was then refunded my deposit.

I don’t know whether these guys are operating a scam or are just completely incapable of functioning any sort of business. What I do know is that the way they are operating causes any unfortunate customers a lot of inconvenience.
