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.

Where it works best

  • Cocktail masterclasses

    Guests learn to shake their own.

  • Drinks brand launches

    Your product at the centre of the show.

  • Gatsby nights

    Speakeasy cocktails with style.

  • Drinks receptions

    Cocktails served with a show.

  • Weddings

    A signature cocktail served with flair.

  • Team building

    A hands-on, social activity.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Allow overhead space

    Bottle flips need height above the bar. Low ceilings and hanging decor limit the routine.

  2. 2

    Create a signature drink

    A cocktail named after your event or brand gives the show a focal point.

  3. 3

    Agree the bar and licence

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