What are the traits of a good bartender?

A good bartender is crucial to a party’s success. Bartenders should be jolly and should have people skills as they will be conversing with many guests. Moreover, the bartender should be a team player because running a bar isn’t a one-man show. Most importantly, they should know how to make great drinks!

How many bartenders do I need for my party?

It depends on the type of party you’re arranging. If it’s a small party with only wine and beer, then one bartender for 50-75 guests would be good. For a full bar that has liquor and mix drinks as well, one bartender can serve 50 guests max. Similarly, for passed wine service and champagne toasts at dinner, you will need on service bartender for every 1–2 tables.

Will the bartender bring their own mixers and stuff?

It depends. Some bartenders have their own mixers and stuff while others don’t. It’s always best to confirm with the bartender beforehand. Keep in mind that you might have to pay extra if you’d like the bartender to bring their own stuff.

What other services do bartenders provide?

If you’re hiring a bartender for labor alone, then they won’t be responsible for anything except for bartending. The bartender will arrive 15-30 minutes before the party starts, will provide their service for a set amount of hours and then leave. You will be responsible for preparing the bar beforehand as well as cleaning up afterward.

How much do bartenders charge?

Usually, bartenders charge per hour for bartending services. The rates vary depending upon the type of party but the average in Durban is R50 per hour plus tips.
