Event bar and glassware hire,
delivered ready to serve

Crystal glassware, mobile bar counters, LED bars and mobile draught taps for events across Dublin and Ireland. We deliver, set up and collect.

The Kit

Everything the bar needs,
from the counter to the coupe

A room can be dressed perfectly and still be let down by the bar. Mismatched glasses, a trestle table with a cloth thrown over it, warm kegs and nowhere to put the ice — these are the details guests notice without being able to name them. Mint Events supplies the whole bar as one package: the counter, the glassware, the draught, the ice and the equipment behind it.

Our glassware hire range covers crystal hi-balls, whiskey tumblers, champagne flutes and coupe saucers, along with the wine, rocks and cocktail glasses that most events run on. Everything arrives clean, polished and boxed for transport. You return them used — there is no washing-up clause and no penalty for a normal breakage rate.

For the bar itself we hold mobile bar counters in mahogany, natural wood and illuminated LED finishes. The wooden counters suit country-house weddings, marquees and heritage venues; the LED bars come into their own for launches, nightclub-style events and anything happening after dark. All are modular, so a two-metre bar for a house party and a six-metre run for a 400-guest reception come from the same system.

Mobile draught taps let you serve properly poured beer anywhere with a socket, which changes what is possible in a marquee or an outdoor venue. We handle the gas, the lines and the temperature, and we clean the lines between every event.

Hire the equipment on its own, or add bartenders and event staff and a full cocktail menu and let one supplier run the entire bar. We deliver across Dublin and nationwide, set up on site, and come back for it afterwards.

What we supply

Crystal Glassware

Hi-balls, whiskey tumblers, champagne flutes and coupe saucers, plus wine, rocks and cocktail glasses. Delivered polished and boxed.

Mobile Bar Counters

Mahogany, natural wood and LED finishes. Modular, so the same system covers a two-metre house bar or a six-metre reception run.

LED Bars

Colour-changing illuminated counters for launches, evening events and anywhere the bar needs to be the focal point of the room.

Mobile Draught Taps

Properly poured beer anywhere with a socket. We manage the gas, the lines and the temperature, and clean the lines between events.

Ice, Tools & Back-Of-House

Ice, bins, shakers, jiggers, speed rails, chillers and everything else a working bar needs but nobody thinks to hire.

Delivery And Collection

We deliver, set up on site and come back for it. Return the glassware used — no washing-up clause.

Where We Work

Bar hire that fits the venue

Marquees, hotels, offices, warehouses, gardens and heritage venues. We have set a bar up in most of them.

Marquees & Outdoor Venues

The scenario mobile bar hire exists for. Modular counters, mobile draught, our own ice and lighting, and no reliance on plumbing that is not there.

Weddings

A bar that matches the styling rather than fighting it. Wooden counters for country-house and barn venues, crystal glassware for the drinks reception and toast.

Corporate & Launch Events

LED bars, branded frontage and glassware appropriate to the guest list. Set up outside working hours where the venue requires it.

Venues & Caterers

Trade hire for venues and catering companies who need overflow glassware or a second bar for a large booking. Straightforward rates, reliable delivery windows.

How It Works

From first enquiry to last order

Four steps, no guesswork. Most quotes go out the same working day.

01

Send your requirements

Date, venue, guest numbers and what you already have. A photo of the space is genuinely useful at this stage.

02

We spec the bar

We come back with recommended counters, glassware quantities and equipment, itemised. Delivery and collection are shown separately.

03

Confirm and schedule

A deposit secures the kit and the delivery slot. We coordinate access times directly with your venue if you prefer.

04

Delivered and collected

We deliver, set up and, after the event, take it all away again. Return glassware used — we handle the washing.

Good To Know

Glassware and bar hire questions, answered

How much glassware should I order?

Allow around two and a half glasses per guest for an evening event — guests set drinks down, lose them and switch drink types more than people expect. If you are serving a drinks reception, dinner wine and a late bar, three per guest is safer. We will calculate it from your running order if you send it to us.

Do we have to wash the glassware before returning it?

No. Return it used and we handle the washing. We only ask that glasses go back in the boxes they arrived in so nothing gets broken in transit.

What happens if glasses get broken?

A small breakage rate is normal at any event and we do not charge for it. Significant losses are charged at replacement cost, which is shown on the quote before you book.

Can I hire a mobile bar without staff?

Yes. Dry hire of counters, glassware and equipment is available on its own. Many clients hire the bar from us and add bartenders separately once guest numbers are confirmed.

Do the mobile draught taps need special power or plumbing?

A standard socket is enough. The units are self-contained, so we can run draught beer in marquees, gardens and venues with no bar plumbing. We manage the gas, the cooling and the line cleaning.

How far do you deliver?

Dublin and nationwide. Cork, Galway, Limerick, Kilkenny, Wicklow, Meath and Kildare are routine deliveries for us. Delivery outside greater Dublin is quoted openly on the proposal.

Can the bar be branded?

Yes. Counter frontage can carry branded panels or vinyl for launches and brand activations. Send us your artwork and dimensions and we will confirm what is possible for your date.

Need a bar, or just the glasses?

Send the date, the venue and your guest numbers. We will spec the bar and quote delivery in the same reply.
