Mexican bar hire for your event in Cliftonville
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will talk licensing through with you. For milestone birthdays and wedding drinks receptions, we can serve margaritas, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks.
A drinks bar makes a party in Cliftonville easy and sociable. Let us know about access and power. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Drinks planning tips
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Make sure drivers have good choices
- Serve food alongside the drinks
- Agree bar timings in advance
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
If timings change, tell us and we’ll adjust.

What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A summer drinks reception in Cliftonville has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it’s dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:50pm, so evening bars need lighting.

- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Before we arrive
