What is flair bartending?

Flair bartending is cocktail making as a performance. Bartenders spin, flip and juggle bottles, shakers and tins while pouring real drinks, with routines that range from smooth and stylish to full showpieces.

Flair bartenders can run a cocktail bar for the evening, perform a short showcase set, or host a cocktail masterclass where guests make their own drinks. It suits drinks receptions, Gatsby nights, launches for drinks brands and team events.

Tips from our team

1
Create a signature drink
A cocktail named after your event or brand gives the show a focal point.
2
Allow overhead space
Bottle flips need height above the bar. Low ceilings and hanging decor limit the routine.
3
Agree the bar and licence
We agree with your venue who supplies the bar, the drinks and the licence before the day.

Do flair bartenders bring the drinks?

It depends on the booking and the venue. Often the venue supplies stock and the licence. We confirm the details with you.

Can they run a cocktail masterclass?

Yes. A masterclass is a popular team activity, with guests making and tasting their own cocktails.

Is flair bartending safe in a busy room?

Yes. Routines are performed behind or around the bar, with the space agreed in advance.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.
