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.

We agree with your venue who supplies the bar, the drinks and the licence before the day.
