Hire A Barman Ireland Opiniones 

Overall my experience was good, however on the night of the event the bartender we had booked turned up late and the contact number that was left for us never responded when I voiced my concerns about arrival time. This caused some stress on the night as the event was a surprise party and I had scheduled the bartender to arrive 30mins prior to the surprise to avoid this.
Despite this overall the bartender was friendly and hardworking.

Absolutely unacceptable service.
We booked a waitstaff member for an important event and received confirmation that someone had been secured. Based on that confirmation, we relied on them and stopped looking elsewhere. After confirming the booking, communication completely stopped. Messages went unanswered, calls were ignored, and as the event approached there was still no clarity.
On the day of the event, no one showed up.
No explanation. No warning. No accountability.
We were left scrambling at the last minute to find emergency cover — something that should never happen after a confirmed booking. Thankfully, another agency stepped in immediately, were professional and easy to deal with, and to add insult to injury, charged €50 less than what this company had quoted us.
After reading the other reviews here, it’s clear this is not an isolated incident. The pattern of behaviour speaks for itself.
Believe the reviews — they reflect exactly what we experienced. This level of blatant incompetence is staggering, and I would strongly urge anyone considering using this company to avoid them entirely.

EDIT: Editing my review here to clear up some of the lies in their response. They said they offered me staff and I never replied to their emails? I sent three follow up emails with zero reply from them. Once they saw my review i received this threatening email from them:

“You are such a disgusting person and an embarrassment to the industry. I will make sure to return “the favour” tenfold for your business.
No wonder your staff lets you down constantly yet you complain about us not showing up after you cancelled the booking? If this a bad joke, I’m not laughing. You have better day sad little person.”

Second Edit: replying to second response below as they seem to have deleted their original one. This was the specific Trustpilot link sent to me by you to leave a review for your services last time we used your company. You told us your competitors were leaving fake reviews to spook off clients and asked us to leave a good review, which I did.

3 unreplied to emails and repeatedly calling your number, we were forced to seek services elsewhere hours before the event when we got no email reply or phone reply even though you told us you had a staff member for us and I repeatedly asked would they be coming once I confirmed the hours we needed them and got nothing back whatsoever. You said to us in the past you can only keep a booking if we pay a deposit. We repeatedly emailed asking to proceed so we could secure staff. In your previous response you said you got no reply from me which is untrue, we left 3 emails looking for a response and never got one. Only when we left an honest review did we get an unpleasant and frankly threatening email back.

The two people we had at our party were amazing, Jose in particular was such good fun, interacted with the guests and so good at making the cocktails. Maria was a dote and so lovely too, she was so busy making sure everything went so smoothly and efficiently.

Our guests were all commenting on how great they were. My mum even said that she would have a party to just have them at it!

So a roaring success. Many thanks to Jose and Maria for making the party so great, we are very appreciative.

Hired a waiter and was very happy with the experience. It was only a few days before the event (buffet dinner) and they were responsive and able to find someone to help. Darragh came on time, was very courteous and flexible to help where needed - serve food, help get plates, pour some initial drinks. He made a real difference to our event. Would recommend.

I have used this company twice and both times have been amazed with the service. From start to finish it was seamless. The email replies were prompt and accommodating , even though I was last minute. As for the bartenders..they arrived when they said they would and couldn’t have been friendlier. They were so professional and worked their butts off in a very busy environment, always with a smile. They made the night run so much smoother and I’m delighted with the service.

We got a lot of comments from our guests about your two guys who attended on Friday 29th.
All comments were invariably positive. They thought your guys were “lovely, friendly, helpful, efficient and pleasant”
I agree. They did very well and helped the guests to have a great time and even get pissed. 😂

It was my first time hiring a barman and I will 100% be using this company again. The whole process was so smooth from initial contact with Dan to the punctual arrival of our barman on the morning. I booked the barman for my sisters hen party and it was the best start to the day! The cocktails were delicious but the service was exceptional. Our barman was very attentive and constantly refilling our drinks. It was such a brilliant experience and really kicked off the party. Everyone was talking about it and it was such a highlight of the day. Would 100% recommend and will use this service again myself.

Great night , I hosted a Mother’s Day event at home and we had Micheal as our cocktail maker he was brilliant and the cocktails were un real , will defo use again for other events 😀

This was my 1st time ever hiring a bartender for a personal event. Andy's bartending skills truly elevated our small gathering. His cocktail creations were so delicious, impressing all the guests. He maintained a professional and friendly demeanor throughout the event. The service was impeccable, and he ensured everyone's glasses were full. We highly recommend his services for any future celebrations. I found Dan great to deal with when going through the booking process also.

Thanks guys! Will definitely hire again for the next event!

SCAM, beware !

I highly recommend hireabarman.ie after using them for my friend's hen party at the weekend. The 2 barmen were excellent and very friendly. It was a large group of 42, and they were all very impressed, and the cocktails went down a treat!

I was recommended this company by a friend and we booked only a few days out from the event at our home. The barmen arrived early which we really appreciated. They worked hard all night and stayed on a bit later when we asked them. Very happy with the service.

Wow, what a night!

Jose and the guys managed the cocktails and bar for a wedding at my home. From start to finish they were superb .. the cocktails were excellent and prepared and delivered with all the fancy moves and panache we hoped for. They were a huge hit with the guests.

Thanks guys for an outstanding service.

The whole process was just so easy. Michael arrived early and set up the bar with ease. He was such a gentleman and went above and beyond all evening. I would highly recommend and definitely book again. A number of friends were also so impressed, they asked about booking.

Booked a bartender 2 months in advance for a friends hen party, paid a deposit of €195. Spent weeks back and forth communicating with these lads, selecting cocktails & confirming times. On the day of the event(Saturday) I checked how to pay the remaining balance and they emailed at 12:30pm that it would be cash. 6:30pm arrived and no sign of the bartender.
I called both numbers on their website and in their email signature 12 times, no answer. I emailed them, no response. I sent them a message on Instagram, they still haven’t opened it. I received an email 2 days later(Monday) saying they don’t check emails on weekends, despite the fact that they emailed me earlier that day. They asked if my bartender arrived, they clearly did not have a clue. I have been refunded but it ruined our entire event. I will be invoicing the company for the cocktail signs & bar favours we purchased, as well as the cost of getting additional alcohol in last minute. Friends have since told me the company just hire freelance bartenders via Facebook posts a few days before the event, there is no planning ahead and certainly no guarantees your bartender will arrive. Avoid.

I could not have been happier with Michael and his team. They were amazing.

Michael is a true gentlemen and obviously well used to his role as he was helping me get organised before guests arrived.

I will absolutely use Michael again and hope to request the same serving staff as they were all brilliant.

We had a cocktail making class with Finton on the 07/06/2024, it was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Finton was very engaging and knowledgeable, any questions we had were all answered with no hesitation. Everyone had a great afternoon and was a great start to out team summer party. We had a late arrival and to make sure she didn't miss out Finton made her 2 cocktails for when she arrived. I would definitely recommend Hire A Barman and we will use them again in the future.

We hired these guys for my daughter’s 21st. They were very well organised and professional. Steve, who turned up early to set up was a lovely guy and a true professional. We will definitely use them again

Thank you Sean!

Brilliant bartender really made it a brilliant night. Sean was super friendly and accommodating and the cocktails were delicious. It was a lovely addition to the party and we’d definitely use this service again.

Thank you

Fantastic Experience. Extremely efficient, lovely lads as bartenders! Cocktails were amazing.
