When organising an event the bar can play a big part in the experience people have and whether they wish to return if its ran on an annual basis
. If its an evening festival or party it a must that you have a bar so that people can have a drink if they wish. Even if youre holding a non-alcoholic event its worth having a bar and then serving non-alcoholic drinks such as mocktails which people can really enjoy. Mocktails are very in at the moment so you can charge a reasonable amount of money for them.
Dont forget that you will need a license to serve alcoholic drinks so make sure you have all the correct authorisations and permits before you hold the event. In addition to this Id make sure the bar is set up well so that the event runs as smoothly as possible. There is nothing worse than ill organisation, which leads to people being annoyed and wanting their money back. I would always recommend sorting out bottle skip hire. Bottle skip hire will enable you to not only recycle (which is always good for the environment) but it also reduces mess and accidents. When working on a bar its all too easy to leave empty bottles around, you have the full intention of moving them but the evening gets busier and busier and the mess mounts up. Before you know it, you knock one over and cut your hand. With bottle skip hire they all go in the bin and then you simple empty it when the bin is full.
If you have a bar Id also recommend considering basic chair hire. It makes sense to have a seating area as not everyone wants to stand around at the bar. Some people may want to chat with friends or family or you may have older people who cant stand up for long. Basic chair hire can be found from many different companies so make sure you get the best price.
