Jean Bennett5 Jul 2025

I have to say that they were absolutely fantastic. They arrived on time set up without any trouble & just efficiently got on with the job. We had over 80 guests who all commented that they was no waiting to be served meaning no queues at the bar and we were in a marquee which was pretty full of people. The brands served were all good brands and the prices of the drinks were excellent. I cannot recommend them enough. 11/10 for service effort & reliability.

charlotte Bibbey6 Mar 2023

Can’t thank these guys enough for making my 30th birthday party one to remember! They were so reliable, friendly and professional. Everyone commented on how reasonable the prices of the drinks were and how amazing the cocktails were! Honestly couldn’t have asked for more from them, nothing was too much of a problem for them. The actual bar was beautiful and went perfect with the theme of my marquee. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to hire a bar for a special occasion! My friends and family have already said they would book their next event with these guys. Massive thanks again and I was lucky to have you as part of my special day.

Carlea8 Jul 2022

What an amazing company and service! Our students and staff loved the waffles! Malaika was great at organising, and Vineta was so friendly and excellent on the night. We are so pleased we used them and we will definitely keep them on our books for any future events.

Kelly Calladine24 May 2022

The bar looked amazing and the staff were great. Jason was very accommodating and went above and beyond. Everyone loved the bar and it for our theme perfectly. Thanks guys.

Rosie Egan4 Apr 2022

Alex from Bar Art was lovely and provided the perfect addition to the event. Everyone loved the cocktails and we were impressed with how efficient and knowledgeable Alex was. I would definitely recommend Alex again, he came miles out of his way for the event and we were really impressed. We look forward to working with Bar Art again they were great. Thanks Rosie

Sabi and his fiance were awesome. Everyone loved them, their personalities, the cocktails and the style of their bar area. Can't wait to book them again. We would recommend them to anyone. Thanks Sabi

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
