The best seat at your own party.
Mobile cocktail bar hire across Sydney's Northern Beaches. Ollie brings the bar, the glassware, the ice and the menu, and takes all of it home again.
Fresh juice. Real fruit. Squeezed that day. Nothing from a mix bottle.
The morning after
By the time you're up, the bar is gone. So are the glassware, the ice and the bins.
The night before, Ollie set up before anyone arrived, ran the bar, and made every drink with juice squeezed that day. You spent the night out on the grass with your friends, and nobody got stuck behind the esky topping up plastic cups.
If you're weighing it up, you're probably worried about three things: what it will cost, whether we'll actually turn up, and whether a bar in the backyard will feel a bit much. The estimator and the reviews further down cover the first two. The third is fair, because a bar is more of a production than an esky. If you'd rather keep it low-key, bottled cocktails do the job with nobody behind a bar.

What's this going to cost me?
Most people have to ring around to find that out. Answer three questions here and you'll have a ballpark.
Four margaritas to start
The Jalapeño Margarita is the one people come back for.
That's the starting four, and yes, they're all margaritas. If you want anything else on the night, ask and Ollie will make it.

Reviews
“Ollie was nothing short of exceptional. We recently hired him to serve our wedding and he was incredibly responsive and helpful every step of the way!”Abby S · Wedding
“We hired Coastal Cocktails by Ollie for our daughter’s 21st and it was the highlight of the night. The drinks were beautifully presented and Ollie was friendly and professional. He ensured drinks were refreshed and quietly tidied up throughout the night. He made everything effortless from start to finish.”Alexis Finan · 21st birthday
“Had to organise a function for work. This service made my job easier. Great night, great cocktails and great bartenders. Will use again and would highly recommend!”Kimmy · Work function
Common questions
Do you supply the alcohol, or do we?
Either. BYO usually works out cheaper, but you do the bottle-shop run. You buy the spirits at retail, we tell you exactly how much to get, and we bring everything else. If you'd rather not think about it, we'll quote it fully supplied.
What do you need from us on the day?
A flat patch about two metres wide, plus a power point within reach if you want frozen drinks. We bring the bar, ice, glassware, tools, garnish and bins.
How far do you travel?
The Northern Beaches is home and there's no travel charge. We go anywhere in Sydney. North Shore and greater Sydney carry a small travel fee, which the estimator above already accounts for.
Is there a minimum booking?
Two hours of service, and a $500 minimum spend. Most events run three to five hours.
How far ahead should we book?
For a Saturday between October and March, as early as you can. That's peak season on the Beaches. Midweek and winter dates are usually fine with a couple of weeks' notice.
What happens if it rains?
We set up under cover if there is any, and we've worked through worse. We'll talk through the wet-weather plan when we lock the date, so you won't be left deciding on the morning.
Do you do non-alcoholic drinks?
Yes. Every menu has at least one alcohol-free drink made with the same fresh juice as everything else.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. RSA certified and fully insured. Venues that ask for paperwork can have it in writing.
Quotes come back the same day.
