Booked for Birthday party

Emma was absolutely fantastic. From initial phone call to arriving promptly on the day, the experience has been seamless. Emma provided an exceptional service and friends commented on how the cocktails were some of the best they had ever had! I will definitely be recommending Blind Tiger and hope to book again! Emma made our party what it was on the day. Thank you

Ash arrived on time and brought along his fiance (to help). The cocktails were good and enjoyed by the guests. I have uploaded a picture of a couple of cocktails & a picture of Ash with one of them.

Booked for Birthday party

Zibusiso was very interactive in advising and arranging the event. Lance, our mixologist on the night was fantastic. Really friendly, clearly knew his stuff and nothing was too much effort. The whole experience really made our party and we are very pleased that we booked. One comment would be the amount of booze and number of glasses was more than we needed at the party, but I guess it is good to over cater than to come up short. Thank you guys you were amazing

Booked for Other Event

This was very last minute and I cannot fault Michael or Afonso at all! Both were so attentive all night...and even stayed a little longer than planned. From the get go Michael had a fast response time with all messages, provided a perfect menu & detailed shopping list for the signature cocktails for our themed event and was very understanding & professional at our busy bar. Will definitely be booking again for future events!

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.

Party Showcase — The Sharp-Dressed Bartender Behind a Hit 21st Birthday

What we loved about this event

A highly skilled bartender arrived at a daughter’s 21st birthday party fully equipped with professional cocktail gear and smartly dressed in a black shirt and trousers. Sourced from a reliable roster of professional bar staff, the host managed the entire bespoke drinks menu and maintained a remarkably tidy station. Because the planning information shared in the run-up was so thorough, the celebration flowed beautifully. Ultimately, the host became "a complete hit with our guests" by serving handmade beverages that tasted absolutely "fantastic."

What client said

“

We booked Ruby Reign for my daughter’s 21st birthday party. Jack, our host, was a complete hit with our guests and made it a night to remember. The cocktails tasted fantastic. All information in the run up was really good. I highly recommend 🥳
