Think of an event you have been to recently. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a lavish party event, the chances are that the bar area was the focal point, where guests gathered, socialised and enjoyed the occasion.
That’s why today we’re looking specifically at mobile bar rentals, because we know that adding a stylish and functional bar to your venue can elevate the experience and leave a lasting impression on your guests and visitors. With bar hire and mobile bar rentals for events from Event Hire UK, you can easily create a professional bar setup, regardless of your event’s location. This guide will explore the options available for mobile bar hire UK from us and how it can transform your event.
Bar hire allows you to bring a high-quality, well-equipped bar to your venue, wherever that may be. With options for portable or mobile bar rentals and temporary bar hire, you can customise your bar setup to match the theme, size and style of your event, creating a professional and inviting atmosphere without the commitment of buying or storing a bar yourself. Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event or private party, renting a bar adds convenience, flexibility, and style.
Flexibility and mobility: Mobile bar rentals for events mean you can set up a bar practically anywhere, indoors or outdoors. Portable bars come in various styles and sizes here at Event Hire UK, making it easy to adapt to your event’s needs and location.
Customisable style: From elegant Starlight LED bars that light up in different colours to rustic wooden bars for a vintage touch, mobile bar rentals let you select a bar that matches your event’s décor and theme.
Professional appearance: Hiring a bar creates a polished, professional atmosphere that enhances the guest experience. Many rental bars come equipped with shelves, work surfaces, matching back bar units and even ice wells, so your bar staff can work efficiently.
Affordable and hassle-free: With bar hire, there’s no need to worry about storage or maintenance; the event bar rental company handles delivery and collection, so you can focus on other event details. It’s worth noting at this point that for our range of ZIP bars, specifically, we can sometimes offer a setup service for an additional fee. This very much depends upon the time of year and the resource available to us at the time.
Event Hire UK offers an impressive array of options for mobile bar rentals, with styles that cater to different themes and tastes. Here are some popular choices to consider when planning your next event.
LED bars are a top choice for events seeking a contemporary, dynamic look. These illuminated bars come with customisable lighting, so you can set them to match your event’s colour scheme or create a lively, club-like vibe. They’re perfect for parties, product launches, or evening weddings where atmosphere is key. There is no doubt that with LED bar hire, you get a bar that’s functional, eye-catching, and perfectly suited for high-energy events. The light boxes need to be plugged in to standard mains electricity, and can be set to rotate through 4 colours, or set to a single colour of your choice.
For a warm, rustic feel, rustic wooden bar hire brings a touch of natural charm to any event. These bars are ideal for outdoor weddings, country-themed parties, rowing regattas or any occasion where you want a more relaxed and organic vibe. The rustic wood finish works well in both indoor and outdoor settings, blending seamlessly into gardens, barns, or vintage-styled venues. Our rustic pallet bar is one of the most popular bar types in our range, often used for festivals and backstage, and it is made from exactly that – reclaimed pallets!
Planning a summer event or beach-themed party? A tiki bar adds a tropical twist that transports your guests to a laid-back paradise. Tiki bar hire includes the unique bamboo construction and island-inspired design that make it perfect for poolside parties, festivals or beach-themed gatherings. Pair it with fresh fruit garnishes and tropical drinks to complete the experience!
For a sleek, modern look, stainless steel bars such as our range of modular ZIP bars offer a polished and professional appearance. These mobile bar rentals are ideal for corporate events, cocktail parties and upscale gatherings where a clean, minimalist look is desired. The durable material is also practical for high-traffic events, ensuring it remains stylish and functional throughout the evening.
The word ‘modular’ is key here. This means that individual units can be positioned together when hired in multiples to create bar mobile bar rental setups of different configurations. So, depending upon the available space for the bar at your venue, and the number of guests you are anticipating, hire a circular ZIP bar, an oval-shaped ZIP bar or simply a long, straight line ZIP bar – you get to choose!
For an elegant, luxurious look, mirror bar hire is a showstopper. The reflective surface adds depth and sophistication, making these bars perfect for high-end events like weddings or gala dinners. A mirror bar complements venues with modern, glamorous or art-deco décor, adding that wow factor to any setting. Here at Event Hire UK, we’ve also taken this one step further by also adding a gold mirror Starlight bar to our range, which is something that you won’t find elsewhere!
When you hire a bar for a party, don’t forget to consider the extras that complete the bar setup. Event Hire UK offers a range of additional items to ensure your bar area is fully equipped, so check out these examples below!
Bar tables: Adding bar table hire gives guests a place to rest their drinks and gather in small groups. Bar tables, high tables, poseur tables and cocktail tables are great for creating casual mingling areas around the main bar.
Glassware hire: Stylish glassware, such as wine glasses, tumblers and cocktail glasses, is essential for serving drinks in style.
Back bar equipment: With dry hire bar hire, you can add ice buckets, bottle chillers, under-counter fridges, refrigeration hire and other essentials that help bartenders serve efficiently.
Portable bar accessories: Items like bar mats, cocktail shakers and garnish trays can enhance the bartending experience, creating a smoother and more professional service for your guests.
