The 5 Best Mobile Bars in Melbourne That Make Every Party Better
Everyone knows a party without drinks is like pizza without cheese. Drinks are what get people laughing, dancing, and really letting loose.
The problem is that not every venue has a fully stocked bar, which leaves you with a new challenge: finding a good mobile bar that can bring the fun right to you.
But don’t worry, we’ve already tracked down the best mobile bars in Melbourne for you. After comparingofferings, rates, and overall service, here are the ones we’d confidently hire for our own parties!
How much does it cost to hire a mobile bar in Melbourne?
Hiring a mobile bar in Melbourne typically costs $750–$1,150 for a small to mid-size event of around 40–60 guests. It can climb up to $2,500+ for fully stocked cocktail packages.
1. Heaven 7 Events
Address: 890 North Rd, Bentleigh East
Phone: +61 431 027 027
Business hours: Monday to Sunday: 7 AM – 10 PM
Heaven 7 Events focuses on mobile bar hire, but they go well beyond standard cocktails and beer taps.
They also offer coffee carts, customised drink menus, themed setups, and more. That variety came up often when we spoke to clients and is one of their biggest strengths.
A customer who booked them for a 70-person event mentioned that the entire process felt remarkably smooth. The service already covers from planning to the final pack-down.
The cocktails they chose, including Aperol Spritz and Moscow Mules, were a hit with guests. The quality glassware even added to the overall polish.
Where they really shone is in logistics. Setup, service, waste disposal—it’s all handled in-house. Even permits and RSA compliance were handled by the team.
We also liked their flexibility. They’re happy to serve alcohol that clients have already purchased.
However, they do limit themselves to one major event per day. While this clearly helps maintain quality, it can make bookings difficult during summer or holiday seasons.
Would 100% recommend for anyone’s party
“Asith and his crew were such a pleasure to work with- they fit into our party so easily and the cocktails they made were bomb! Everyone after the party was raving about how great them and their service was! Would 100% recommend for anyone’s party- and would use them again in a heartbeat! Thankyou so much Asith!”

The service was seamless and the drinks were incredible
“Heaven7 hosted the cocktail bar at our company Christmas party, and it was an absolute hit! From the quality and presentation of the cocktails to the professionalism of the wait staff and management — everything was exceptional. The service was seamless, the drinks were incredible, and the team went above and beyond to make the night a success. We’ll definitely be using Heaven7 again and couldn’t recommend them highly enough!”

2. Shakers on Wheels
Address: Kooyong Rd, Ripponlea
Phone: +61 422 435 343
Business hours: Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
Shakers on Wheels stood out to us, thanks to their vintage caravan, “Marty.” It’s very stylish and can elevate whatever the event is.
The caravan comes fully equipped with built-in beer taps, chillers, and enough space for custom drink menus.
Their mobile bar service offers a lot. They have Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA)-certified bartenders, glassware, unlimited ice, and even their own liquor licenses.
Beyond standard drinks, there are unique options like premium custom cocktails and cocktail walls with dry ice. They even offer hosting an interactive cocktail masterclass, which is a great option to keep guests entertained.
We evaluated their packages and found them flexible but straightforward.
“The Open Van” shines for unlimited drinks per head, while the “Bar Tab” is for those with a limited budget. The “Dry Bar Hire”, on the other hand, is for clients providing their own alcohol.
A limitation we found is the capacity. “Marty” can serve up to 80 guests efficiently. Larger events may require extra staff or additional units, and everyone knows what that means: additional costs.
Our guests mentioned they were the friendliest bar staff ever!
“Jordan and his crew provided a fabulous vibe at my 60th birthday at home. They were professional, classy and seamless in their approach. Our guests mentioned they were the friendliest bar staff ever! They bar looked great, they let us pick our own cocktails that had meaning for the occasion and were happy to serve other alcohol we provided. Will definitely be getting them again!”

They were efficient, on time and most importantly, incredible cocktail artists!
“The team at shakers on wheels were absolutely fantastic! They really made the event and everyone was so impressed with them. They were efficient, on time and most importantly, incredible cocktail artists! Will definitely use the again for our next event.”

3. The Little Bar Cart
Phone: +61 411 846 785
Business hours: Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
The Little Bar Cart is like a tiny, vintage party on wheels. Their custom-designed cart immediately grabs attention. It can add some charm to weddings, corporate events, and private parties.
From what we found, couples especially love it for weddings. It’s probably because it doubles as both a drinks station and a conversation starter.
The service handles everything from setup to pouring drinks. Their menu also covers beer, wine, sparkling options, and crafted cocktails. Tea and coffee stations are also available.
Clients said their service was smooth too. Champagnes arrived with a smile, and no one had to wave frantically for a refill.
They’re also flexible. They can cater to brand activations and custom-branded events. They’re perfect for VIP launches or product reveals.
They can even secure Victorian liquor licenses, so alcohol can be sold directly to guests.
The main downside is pricing transparency. Quotes are only provided after detailed consultations, which could frustrate anyone looking for quick estimates.
“Jan, and the little bar cart is hands down the best! No words can describe how easy she made everything for our wedding! It felt she was a friend at our wedding – everything was seamless! Nothing an issue and so accomodating! Jans husband was amazing, cocktails were beyond and I’m so glad we had them at our event! We can’t thank you enough for everything! You made our day”
– Sarah Plumridge, Google review
“Jan and her team did an incredible job looking after our wedding guests. Outside of the fact that the cocktails were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, the next best thing was that everything was taken care of, we didn’t have to think twice about the bar service. All of the staff were lovely and very helpful. It was a great combination of a very experienced and professional service, that’s run by down-to-earth and friendly people. Oh and of course, the bar cart looks amazing!”

4. Boss Bar Hire
Address: Unit 8/2 Brand Dr, Thomastown
Phone: +61 432 544 551
Business hours:
- Monday to Saturday: 9 AM – 6 PM
- Sunday: Closed
Boss Bar Hire is in a league of its own. They focus on handmade, bespoke keg bars that look impressive.
There’s a big range of bars, at least 18 designs. The Garden Bar has a built-in ice well and hanging greenery.
Triple Boss has three taps and a chiller, and Quaddy is popular at corporate events. They also have smaller options like Wine Barrel Bars and Counter Tap Bars.
On top of that, they’ll supply bartenders, glassware, ice, and champagne towers. They also throw in fun extras like rustic tables and umbrellas.
We loved how the team sets up and packs away everything. They’d even deliver and collect kegs, so no one has to struggle with heavy beer barrels.
The team is also consistently praised for smooth communication and efficiency.
However, there aren’t many options for non-alcoholic or low-alcoholic drinks. Family-friendly events or sober parties might need to look elsewhere.
Highly recommend for any events you’ve got coming up
“We used boss bar for our engagement party and it was above our expectations. Super easy to deal with in the lead up, reasonably priced and all worked seamlessly on the night. Highly recommend for any events you’ve got coming up. Thanks heaps Matt and team!!!”
– Elise Highmore, Google review
Fantastic experience with Boss Bar Hire
“Fantastic experience with Boss Bar Hire, Matt and the team went above and beyond in delivering an exceptional experience at our last event. We have had feedback from friends and family asking for their details for their next events. 10/10”

5. Travis & Co.
Phone: +61 431 681 402
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 7 AM – 5 PM
- Saturday: 9 AM – 5 PM
- Sunday: 10 AM – 5 PM
Travis & Co. is a party in a box that’s ready to impress. Their setup comes with everything needed for a seamless event: skilled bartenders, glassware, and premium drinks.
They even have entertainment options like topless waiters and dancers. We didn’t see these from other companies. It’s a great option for high-energy events, like a hen’s party.
Clients mentioned the professionalism and charisma of each member. Max, for example, was always praised for his cocktail skills and ability to keep the atmosphere fun but relaxed.
We liked that it’s fully customisable. Menus can match any theme, season, or specific taste.
Add in extras like DJs, limos, or venue hire, and it becomes clear why their packages are considered an all-in-one solution.
Their weekday or Sunday discounts make their premium service a little less intimidating on the wallet. However, we think their package still leans luxury.
My guests have not stopped raving about the whole experience
“Had the absolute best time with Max and Alex at my hens! They brang such an incredible energy! The cocktails were next level 🍸 My guests have not stopped raving about the whole experience and I would definitely do it again!”
– Emily Hart, Google review
Cocktail-making skills were genuinely impressive
“Max was an absolute standout at our event, delivering exceptional professionalism while keeping the atmosphere fun and relaxed, and his cocktail making skills were genuinely impressive, with every drink mixed perfectly and served with a smile; he made everyone feel comfortable and well looked after, and we couldn’t have asked for a better topless waiter, so we highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their celebration.”
