Mobile Bars in NSW
Mobile bar hire is a fun way to elevate your backyard party, garden wedding or special outdoor function and in New South Wales there's a great variety to choose from. From luxury pop up bars to repurposed horse floats and vintage caravans, the state has mobile bars to suit all event themes from Hamptons inspired parties to DIY weddings.
The mobile bars on this list are absolutely stunning centrepieces, creating a fun and laid back vibe at your event while keeping your guests hydrated and refreshed. They serve a range of chilled drinks from standard & craft beers, wines, champagnes and ciders, to signature cocktails crafted to your liking by RSA qualified mixologists.
Mobile bar hire in NSW includes licensed and non-licensed options. The majority of portable bars in the state are non-licensed which means you're able to source your own alcohol and mixers from wholesale stockists and have them served chilled with ice, straws and garnishes provided by your mobile bar.
Mobile bar hire packages include two main options; Dry Hire is the cheapest starting at $800 for a drop & go service where your bar is set up for you and left unmanned with the legally required RSA qualified staff being provided as part of your venue hire package. Other packages include RSA staff and are suitable for backyard events and BYO venues.
The cost to hire a mobile bar ranges from $1,200 - $3,500 on average across New South Wales. Things that affect the price include the size of your guest list (the more guests you have, the more staff are required), the location (travel is charged per km), the duration of your event and added extras like styling items, furniture hire and the service of cocktails.

To hire a mobile bar in NSW you'll need to pay a deposit and sign a contract to lock in your date. After you've paid a deposit for your mobile bar and/or bartender hire you'll be given support to plan your drinks menu. If you're booking a BYO bar they'll help you calculate the volumes of alcohol required and create a shopping list.
Most mobile bar customers source drinks from Dan Murphys or local breweries, wineries and distilleries. Drinks usually need to be provided to the mobile bar already chilled and using on-board fridges and ice the bar then keeps them cool for the duration of your event.
Most mobile bars require access to power via a standard power lead. If your function venue is unable to provide power the bar will supply a generator at an additional cost (around $200 - $300).
A mobile bar on wheels and stationery pop up bars create a memorable stand out feature at your event. More than a drinks service, they provide a destination for guests to congregate at, an elegant styling feature within your space and create a fun and laid back atmosphere.
