About Top Shelf Mobile Bar

Dry hire bartending means you provide the alcohol for your event, and we handle everything else. This approach gives you complete control over your alcohol selection, budget, and quantities, while still enjoying a fully professional bartending experience.

When you book dry hire service, Top Shelf Mobile Bar supplies licensed and insured bartenders, full bar setup and breakdown, professional bar tools, coolers, cups, napkins, garnishes, and custom drink menus. We also help you plan and create a detailed shopping list so you know exactly what to purchase—no guesswork and no overbuying.

One of the biggest advantages of dry hire is cost savings. Because you purchase the alcohol yourself, there are no markups, and you can return unopened bottles where allowed. You get the same elevated, polished bar service and guest experience, while maintaining control of your budget.

Dry hire is a smart, flexible option that allows you to create a personalized bar experience while we ensure everything runs smoothly and professionally.
