Picture yourself in Ibiza, at one of 'those' amazing villa parties, brimming with beautiful people, glasses a-clinking and drinks a-flowing - hardly your average throw-some-beers-in-a-bathtub affair. So where is all the action taking place? Let us draw your attention to The Bar.
Beginning as a light-bulb-above-the-head moment for Brit couple James Lindley and Danielle Hodgson – after realizing alcohol was often an afterthought for caterers – The Bar is a now thriving business dedicated to quenching thirsts at glamorous events, corporate affairs and weddings in Ibiza.
The concept is simple. A fully-equipped mobile bar service - tailored to suit each individual client, location and budget - complete with cocktail waiters, bartenders, a chic portable bar, sparkling glassware, glistening ice buckets, fresh fruits, utensils, cooling equipment and of course, alcohol – everything you could wish for, and more. Should you prefer to supply your own alcohol however, The Bar happily provides the rest.
Beautifully presented drinks and custom-designed cocktails are customary, with bartenders trained to ensure each Mojito has the same zesty amount of lime or Bloody Mary has just the right bite – consistency, professionalism and strict high standards are paramount to The Bar’s success.
With backgrounds in hotels, catering, clubs and hospitality, it’s evident James and Danielle live, breathe and love what they do. Since declaring The Bar open in 2006, the duo have seen all scales and styles of event, including a marriage proposal in front of Es Vedra (with James ‘appearing’ with champagne at the right moment) and an OTT poker championship with the Pussycat Dolls performing live in a stunning hilltop villa.
Let’s raise our glasses to that!
