Hireabarman Reviews 67

Throughly recommend this service. Communication and pricing very clear from the start. There was a bit of a mix up with dates but the company handled this very well and resolved the situation with no detriment to us.
On the day of our party our barman/mixologist was amazing - polite unobtrusive but friendly and skillful. A really lovely person. The cocktails were delicious and our mixologist made sure all of our guests were taken care of including making mocktails for non drinkers. We couldn't have asked for a better service.

Complete scam - paid deposit but they didn’t show up. I contacted them multiple times via email, phone and the contact form on their website the week prior to confirm the cocktails we’d like made and ask how to make final payment but never received a reply. Avoid!

We hired a bar man for our work xmas party, and the service was incredible! The bar man was attentive, friendly and overall made the day a great experience.

Absolutely brilliant bar man, hired for my 40th birthday at home, delicious cocktails. So professional and kind. Even wanted to help clear up non bar items! Couldn’t recommend enough, I will use again

SCAM!!
seemed genuine. Helpful, good price.
Asked me to be quick as limited availability for my date. After deposit was paid I received a receipt.
Tried to get back in contact 3 weeks later, totally ghosted. Wouldn’t reply to my emails, phone is never answered. Then went to have a look at the website again, noticed that there is no postal address stated on the website, which I thought was weird.
Sifted through the fake reviews, and saw some weird comments on one review.
Threatened to do a charge back with my bank, and then received a reply saying they were out of office. Same reply another review said they had, and that they would refund me my money.
Money never appeared in my account. Fraud team are investigating.
AVOID

We had 3 of the bar staff for a busy event and I can say that they were very professional and helpful.
they showed up on time and followed our briefing and worked for 4 hours straight with no break.
I will definitely use this company again.

I hired a mixologist and waiting staff for a birthday party. They were both extremely friendly and professional. They were proactive in looking for ways to make the evening run smoothly and taking jobs off me to ensure I was able to relax and have a good evening. The cocktails were fantastic. I would definitely book through hireabarman.com again.

Russell arrived 15 mins early and set up ready for the start. He chatted to our twenty (age) something guests and dealt really well with the long line of requests. Went well!

Emily

Im sorry…what ingredients Emily/

Depending on the cocktails - ice, espresso, sugar syrup, mint, limes, salt, for example.
Thanks
Emily

😊 I am well aware what “ingredients” means Emily…I was only wondering where did you get that you will get them included as well when the quote forwarded only mentioned the bartender?
Thanks
Dan

Hi Dan,
I’m not getting this information anywhere, I’m asking you for the information as I’m the customer enquiring about the services you provide.
When I asked ‘Does £155 include all ingredients and glasses other than alcohol?’ I was only hoping for a yes or no answer from yourselves. If the answer was no I was hoping for a quote for the above based on the information I gave in my enquiry. If the answer was yes I would have asked for a quote including alcohol too.
Thanks
Emily

Emily, hi
Next time you get up on the wrong side of the bed Emily I suggest having a coffee or two before you send acid replies via emails. It makes wonders!
I wish you a wonderfully day and best of luck with your search for a bartender.

The barman, James was professional, entertaining and worked non-stop the whole day. It didn't feel like we had a stranger in our home as he fitted in with us and chatted to everyone as he served. He even asked if we had special requirements and obliged our James Bond theme by wearing a 3 piece suit and bow tie. I can thoroughly recommend this company and would use them again.

We hired two bar waiters and a barman for an event in London, it was a pretty seamless experience and the staff were well presented, friendly and helpful. They arrived on time and helped us tidy up afterwards. Would absolutely recommend them.

Jose was our bartender he mixed brilliant cocktails. Communication before the event was good and he arrived early.

We hired 2 barmen/ mixologists for my 30th birthday party, they contacted me once they was assigned to discuss my needs, turned up half an hour early to get to know where everything was and set up for cocktails, cut fruit ect
They were super friendly and made excellent drinks, everyone loved them and their cocktails which were superb
Would highly recommend and would definitely use them again!

Omar and ‘Martin’ were excellent: O communicated the day before in detail; turned up 30 mins early early; everything prepped before the party started, so no delay in service; cleaned up as they went and left the service area tidy before they left (on time).

We had Tommy as our bartender for our Engagement party and he was brilliant.
Arrived early, made brilliant drinks and the best of all a really nice, friendly person. Lots of our guests also commented on how brilliant he was. I highly recommend using this company for your events, I will be in the future.
Thank you

We have hired a bartender for our project launch event.

Organising and running events is stressful as it is, Lee has turned up 10 minutes before, which put me personally at ease straight away. He set up the bar very quickly, prepared the garnishes- everything was ready for the guests. I liked his attention to the detail and his proactive approach, overall he was very professional and polite. He left the bar area spotless after finishing his shift. Would definitely use the services again!

Omar was a great barman. He set up the bar very quickly when he arrived, and then served delicious cocktails all evening. I highly recommend him. If you want a waitress too, it would be worth being very clear about what he/she should do.

All Round Brilliant Service. From the booking team, to the bar tender. Really friendly, supportive and provided me with all the help I needed to make my 42nd birthday a very memorable one! :)

I hired a cocktail bartender for our Christmas party. Our bartender, Anton, was amazing, top marks! He attended beforehand in good time to set-up, he was very industrious in his work ethic and attentive to our guests and he has a polite and charming manner. I received many compliments in the quality of the cocktails he made. Throughout my dealings with this company, I found them to be efficient, quick to respond and I would most definitely use their services again.
