I just wanted you to pass on a huuuuge thanks to the Bar team from our party on Saturday.
They were professional, fun, and everyone commented on how friendly they were. They were fantastic!
Thank them all so much!
We will definitely come back for future requirements!
Thanks for putting up with all the questions and demands ahead of the party - a brilliant service from start to finish!

First of all I was shocked that the team running the bar had travelled down from Doncaster that morning !!
They arrived on time and quickly had the bar set up. Everything was professionally done, and they were both very friendly and responded well to the guests.
Everyone commented that it was a good addition to the street party.

Amazing experience, top quality food, time between courses was just right and to top it off the kitchen was left spotless and dishwashers loaded. Would recommend for a corporate or home dinner party, it takes all the stress away and leaves you to enjoy the evening.

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
Mobile Bar Hire in Nottingham – A Complete Buyer’s Guide
Planning a party in Nottingham often begins with the same question: how do we make it feel truly special? Whether it’s a Lace Market wedding, a lively stag do near the city centre, or a relaxed garden celebration in West Bridgford, a mobile bar has a unique ability to set the tone. It turns a gathering into a celebration, a space into a scene, and a drink into an experience.
We’ve spent years immersed in events across the UK, and Nottingham has a personality unlike anywhere else. Its past lives in every alleyway – lace trade, rebellion, creativity – and its present is buzzing with students, nightlife, and independent makers. Hiring a mobile bar here isn’t simply about handing out drinks; it’s about capturing this Nottingham energy and weaving it into your celebration.
In this guide, we’ll walk through how to choose the right mobile bar for your Nottingham event, what impacts price, what suits the city’s most popular spaces, and how Poptop helps you plan everything in minutes, not days, with instant all-inclusive pricing and friendly, reliable suppliers.
Why a Mobile Bar Works So Well in Nottingham
Nottingham’s venues deserve a bar that feels at home
Lace Market industrial spaces pair beautifully with stripped-back cocktail bars featuring exposed wood and Edison bulbs.
Nottingham Castle grounds make sense for something whimsical and themed – perhaps a Robin Hood-style forest bar with rustic touches.
Warehouse venues around Sneinton or Hockley give you freedom to be bold: neon signage, flowing cocktails, mixologists who serve with flair.
It builds atmosphere instantly
Guests don’t gather around a buffet table. They gather around the bar. It becomes a social hub where people talk, experiment with cocktails, and share the excitement of what’s being served.
It solves a practical issue
Most Nottingham event spaces are dry-hire. A mobile bar fills the gap by providing:
Drinks
Staff
Equipment
Glassware
Setup and pack-down
Less faff. Less stress. More celebration.
What Kinds of Events in Nottingham Book Mobile Bars Most Often
Hen and Stag Parties
Nottingham is famous for stag and hen weekends, especially around Hockley and the city centre. Think mini cocktail masterclasses, gin-focused bars, bright and colourful drinks presented theatrically – ideal to start a night before heading out.

Booking Protection

Curated suppliers
All Poptop’s suppliers are rigorously vetted and approved by our team of party experts, ensuring you book the very best.
These weddings are stylish, urban, and contemporary. Couples often look for:
Elegant Prosecco or Champagne bars
Minimalist cocktail menus
Bartenders who bring charm and conversation
Bar setups that blend naturally with exposed brick and string lighting
Summer Garden Celebrations
If you're hosting in Beeston, Mapperley, Wollaton or in a marquee space, a mobile bar ensures organisation stays intact – and stops guests asking where you’ve hidden the bottle opener.
Picking a Theme That Suits Nottingham
Themes work best when they connect to the city’s identity. Some ideas that feel true to Nottingham:
Craft ale and cocktails – ideal for lovers of independent brewing and modern nightlife
Robin Hood woodland – rustic props, foliage, barrels and green accents
Nottingham nightlife – neon signage and fast-paced cocktail service
Lace-inspired minimalism – clean white styling and Prosecco-based drinks
It doesn’t need to be complex. A great supplier adjusts the aesthetics, glassware, uniform, and menu to match your concept.
What You Can Get From Different Mobile Bar Services
Classic Bar Setup: A full bar counter, spirits, mixers, cocktails, bartenders, ice, glassware, and everything needed to run a smooth event.
Craft Beer or Ale Bars: Perfect for Nottingham’s brewery culture. Some providers offer kegs or casks tailored to East Midlands brewers.
Cocktail-Focused Bars: Great for hens, stags, and milestone birthdays. Espresso Martinis, Pornstar Martinis, whisky sours – the crowd-pleasers appear fast and frequently.
Gin or Rum Bars: A simple themed twist that adds personality without overwhelming the offering.
Dry-Hire Bar: They bring the structure and equipment. You buy and supply the alcohol. Works well if you love budget control or want to choose specific bottles.
Understanding Pricing – What to Expect
Most Nottingham mobile bars range between £900 and £2,200. Costs shift based on:
Number of guests
Whether drinks are unlimited, pay-as-you-go, or prepaid
Cocktail menus vs spirits vs beer-only bars
Staffing levels
Setup time and travel
Example scenarios:
120-guest wedding with cocktails and multiple bartenders sits near the upper end.
Small summer garden party for 40 guests with a pay-as-you-go bar sits near the lower end.
Poptop offers instant all-inclusive pricing, so you know the cost before booking.
Choosing the Right Bar for Each Nottingham Venue Type
Lace Market and Urban Spaces
Industrial and historic buildings suit elegant, modern bar setups that complement the atmosphere rather than steal attention.
These spaces have near-total flexibility. If you’ve ever dreamt of a mixologist juggling bottles or a neon tequila wall, this is where it belongs.
How to Avoid Common Mistakes When Hiring
Always check that glassware is included.
Ask about arrival and departure window times if your venue has strict access.
Confirm whether the supplier brings ice – most do, but never assume.
Choose a drinks menu that reflects your guests' tastes, not just yours. If only three people drink whisky but forty love prosecco, focus on prosecco.
