  • Saturday to Sunday: 12 PM – 4 PM

Website

The Mobile Bar & Staff Hire brings a full bar experience anywhere in the city. They offer a huge range of setups and have portable pop-up bars that can fit any event theme or guest size. 

We also loved how integrated their team structure is. They have experienced bartenders and mixologists. 

They craft classics like martinis and cosmos, but they can also whip up custom creations to match the vibe of the night.

On top of that, they provide event staff to make sure everything runs smoothly from setup to the last drink served. 

We even heard that some events they catered to included a cocktail class while the bar hums along in the background.

Customers said their team is very reliable. They can manage events without hiccups, and they go the extra mile when other vendors fall short.

We just wish they would publicly list their pricing. This would make it easier for clients who want to plan ahead for their party budget.

Pros

  • Wide variety of setups
  • Skilled bartenders and mixologists
  • Classics and custom drinks
  • Fully integrated team
  • Can add extras like cocktail classes
  • Reliable and professional staff

Cons

  • Pricing isn’t publicly listed

They were so professional and they brought such good energy to the party

“I hired the mobile bar co recently for a family Christmas party and I couldn’t have been happier with my decision. They were so professional and they brought such a good energy to the party. They went above and beyond to make sure all my guests were happy throughout the day. I highly recommend this company.”

Arrived on time, neat set up & most importantly served drinks with a smile

“We recently used the mobile bar & staff hire company for my husband’s 50th party. Anthony, Charbael & team were very helpful, gave detailed lists & suggestions, arrived on time, neat set up & most importantly served drinks with a smile. We would highly recommend the mobile bar co’s services.”

Phone: +61 452 537 465

Business hours: Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours

Website

Our team quickly saw why BarBae has so many repeat clients. They’re built for events that demand style, sophistication, and a little showmanship.

Their team brings together custom-built bars, Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA)- accredited staff, and thoughtful extras that make a difference.

Looking through their packages, we were impressed. While some companies add the occasional extra, BarBae goes full-on. Their full package comes with glassware, lighting, sound systems, and cocktail tables. 

Attention to detail is their strength. Pyro champagne sparklers, VIP bottle service, caviar stations, and personalised menus are just a few of the things they specialise in.

Essentially, their approach turns a bar from a functional necessity into an experience that guests remember.

Customer feedback backs this up. Cocktails and mocktails are praised as delicious. The team arrives early, stays organised throughout, and leaves venues spotless.

Of course, all this premium service comes with premium pricing, so it might not be the best fit for clients with a tight budget.

Pros

  • Full-service experience
  • Unique extras
  • Attention to detail
  • Professional and reliable team
  • Repeat clients
  • Delicious drinks
  • Ideal for upscale events

Cons

  • Premium pricing

Outstanding service and excellence!

– Bernadette Azizi, Google review

The overall service was fantastic

“Highly recommend BarBae for your next corporate event! Simon and Sue were an absolute pleasure to work with. They provided our clients with a delicious selection of cocktails and mocktails that were a hit with everyone. The overall service was fantastic, and the team truly went above and beyond to ensure our event was a success.  From the team at Eden Brae Homes, thank you, BarBae, for making our event memorable!”

3. Trolley’d Sydney Mobile Bar Hire & Cocktail Making Classes

Phone: +61 1800 359 444

Business hours:

  • Monday to Saturday: Open 24 hours
  • Sunday: Closed

Website

Trolley’d’s airline trolley setup is what makes them stand out. It makes the whole thing feel more interactive instead of static.

Cocktail trolleys, beer kegs, espresso setups—everything is designed to roll in and roll through. 

A big part of why people love them is because of their drinks too. They’re not standard cocktails with fancy names slapped on. They use foraged botanicals, native Australian ingredients, and organic elements.

Clients back this up. People kept talking about how different and memorable the flavours are. It’s creative without being weird for the sake of it.

We also loved their team’s energy. They bring personality, confidence, and proper event energy. 

The only real downside that we heard is on the planning side. The actual event service gets loads of praise, but the admin and communication can be messy with slow replies and chasing info. 

Pros

  • Mobile airline trolley
  • Interactive
  • Unique drinks
  • Memorable flavours
  • High-energy team

Cons

  • Slow communication
  • Planning and admin can be clunky

I’m obsessed with their drinks and will definitely be getting them again!

“I had Trolley’s at my birthday and I can’t recommend them enough! Their native + organic cocktails are to die for and Jazz + Byron’s service was incredible. I’m obsessed with their drinks and will definitely be getting them again!”

– Maddy Colman, Google review

The cocktails were unique, beautifully presented and delicious!

“Byron and his team delivered an incredible experience for our guests. Our bespoke pop up cocktail bar was theatrical, engaging and FUN! The team had real personality and flair which really  elevated the event.  The cocktails were unique, beautifully presented and delicious! Would highly recommend Trolley’s for any event!”

– Melissa Key, Google review

4. Sydney Mobile Bar & Bartenders

Phone: +61 413 224 411

Business hours: Monday to Sunday: 9 AM – 9 PM

Website

Sydney Mobile Bar & Bartenders treats the bar as part of the entertainment, not just a place where drinks happen.

Their team is very energetic. They lean into interactive bartending with juggling, performance-style mixing, and making the bar like a part of the show.

Add in their mirror photo booth hire (which they also offer, by the way), and it’s a full social hub.

We also loved that they offer LED mobile bars for hire for clients providing their own alcohol. From what we’ve heard, it has proper compartments for bottles, ice, and garnishes. There’s also a proper prep space. 

One client hired the bar and used their own professional bartenders. He still rated the setup highly, which says a lot about how practical and well-designed the bars are.

People who’ve hired them mentioned easy communication, clean delivery and collection, and setups happening without drama.

That said, not everything’s perfect. We did come across a report of a last-minute cancellation from the team. Even one case like that is worth acknowledging, especially for bigger events.

Pros

  • Interactive bartending
  • Stylish LED bars
  • Practical setup
  • Smooth communication
  • Mirror photo booth rental option

Cons

  • A last-minute cancellation report

Cocktails were delicious and everything was very professional

“Sydney Mobile Bar provided a cocktail bar and experience for my daughters 18th birthday party. Shady was fantastic from the initial contact and couldnt be more accommodating. The bar was a big hit, cocktails delicious and everything was very professional.My daughter and her friends  (as well has us) really enjoyed it. We are now considering hosting our own party and getting Shady in to provide coctails-it definitely takes the party to another level and very hassle free. I highly recommend Sydney mobile Bar and bartenders.”

– Loorana Loorana, Google review

Highly recommended

“We used these guys for our sons engagement.  Shady and his Team were very professional and knew how to poor and mix drinks responsibly.  Enjoyed our sons engagement not worrying about the serving of the drinks. Highly recommended”

5. Kombi Keg

Phone: +61 409 163 377

Business hours: Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours

Website

Kombi Keg really stood out to us because of their setup. They take vintage 1970s Volkswagen Kombi vans and turn them into stylish mobile bars that can be parked right at an event. The retro look makes the vans instantly eye-catching too.

They offer up to six on-tap beverages, including beer, cider, wine, and cocktails. To keep them all cold, drinks are kept with a commercial electric system.

We loved that they offer the options where guests can choose to serve themselves or have RSA-certified staff handle it.

The vans also include extras like a pop-up roof with a smart TV for videos or sports. For clients who want more party elements, they have disco lights and customisable props.

A lot of the clients praised Rodd, who runs Kombi Keg. He’s helpful with setup, operation, and packing up.

They are a great choice for weddings, festivals, or larger social events where guests can interact with the bar.

However, they seem pretty unideal for certain party settings, like tight rooftops and uneven terrain. When it rains, it can also affect their work.

Pros

  • Unique and eye-catching
  • Interactive experience
  • Wide drink options
  • Extras for entertainment
  • Helpful service
  • Ideal for bigger social events

Cons

  • Space limitations
  • Weather dependent

Great service by Kombi Keg

“Booked for a large party out in the middle of nowhere, great service by Kombi Keg. Everything provided, cups, ice, fruit slices for the drinks that required them. The Big screen TV provided footy scores during the party then entertainment after with music videos as people started to finish for the night. Requested a staff member to serve the drinks and was not disappointed, Rodd was friendly always willing to serve and cleaned up empty cups left around when not serving. Would highly recommend for any large out door party.”

– Adam Pritchard, Google review

The Kombi Keg was a true feature at our festival wedding 

“Rodd was the biggest legend and was able to provide more than enough alcohol for our large group of heavy drinkers. The Kombi Keg was a true feature at our festival wedding and everyone enjoyed pouring their own drinks. So glad we booked the Kombi Keg and couldn’t recommend Rodd highly enough!!!”
