With YES Hire’s bar equipment range you’ll have everything you need to serve drinks professionally whether you’re hosting an intimate dinner party, a wedding reception, a corporate event, a festival, or operating a fully stocked temporary bar. Don’t have a bar? Well, we’ve got a temporary build two-meter wooden event bar for you!

Successful bar service relies heavily on two main points: keeping drinks perfectly chilled and readily accessible. Hire bottle fridges from us and you get both! They are glass fronted for easy viewing and are designed to sit under a counter or bar to maximise your surface space. If you’re serving drinks on the table keep them crisp and fresh for service with wine coolers or champagne buckets full of sparkling ice.

For larger events and back-of-house operations, we offer hire 600l upright fridges: these are standard fridges with ample storage for beverages, garnishes and any other catering supplies you need. If you’re planning a big wedding, sporting event or festival, where you need even more chilled storage, hire a fridge trailer! This is a great solution for storing large volumes of drinks. They also come with the options of shelving down each side and doors front and back making them accessible and easy to use. For these larger events, we’d recommend storing the bulk of your drinks in a fridge trailer and moving them to the bottle fridges behind the bar as and when you need them. 

We also hire bar equipment that might not spring to mind, but will make your event much smoother! Glass bins on wheels are a life safer for clean up and non–slip trays make service quicker! Behind the bar, you’d be stuck without hiring ice tongs and a cocktail making package! If you need advice on choosing the right bar equipment for your event, contact the YES Hire team by phone or through our website contact form. We’re always happy to help you plan the ideal drinks service for your Yorkshire event.

Don’t forget that bar service isn’t always about the chilled drinks. Serving a drink at the correct temperature is critical whether it’s a baking hot summer day or in the depths of winter so check our full beverage hire equipment page for a range of hot drink options, from coffee percolators to 20l hot water boilers!

Who is bar equipment hire for?

Bar equipment hire gives you access to all the equipment needed to run a temporary bar at your event. So whether you’re a bar hired to serve champagne at a wedding, or you just want some extra special cocktail glasses for a party at home, hiring means you can build a fully equipped bar without having to buy everything yourself.

What do people hire bar equipment for?

Our bar equipment is regularly hired for weddings, private parties, festivals, sporting events, charity functions and corporate hospitality. From small garden celebrations to large-scale events, having the right equipment helps drinks service run quickly and efficiently. For example, adding trays means staff can carry drinks more efficiently. Hiring a glass bin mean used glass bottles can be stored and disposed of safely.

Why should I hire bar equipment?

Setting up a bar involves much more than simply supplying drinks. Chilled storage, ice, glassware and serving equipment all play a part in keeping queues moving and drinks at the right temperature. Hiring fridges, glasses, and more all allow you to create a professional setup for your event without investing in equipment you may only use once.

Can I hire bar equipment in Yorkshire?

Yes, with YES Hire! We supply bar equipment across Yorkshire, the North East and the surrounding areas. Whether you’re need a temporary bar in a marquee, an extra fridge at the village hall or hundreds of glasses for a big event, we’ll deliver everything you need ready for service.

How much does bar equipment hire cost?

Every event is different, so the cost depends on the equipment you choose, and the quantities you need. You can hire individual items or combine multiple products to create a complete bar setup that suits both your event and your budget. All our quotes are easy to read, and upfront about the cost.

What bar equipment will I need?

The equipment you need depends on what you’ll be serving. A simple prosecco bar may only require ice buckets and glassware, while a busy cocktail bar might also need bottle fridges, cocktail-making equipment, a temporary bar structure AND glasses! If you’re unsure, we’re always happy to help you choose the right equipment. Just contact us!

Can bar equipment be used outdoors?

Yes, most of our bar equipment is suitable for outdoor events, as long as the ground is dry, and everything is protected from inclement weather. If your bar is inside a marquee or covered area, this is usually straightforward to arrange.

Is the bar equipment cleaned before hire?

Yes. Every item is cleaned, checked and prepared before leaving our warehouse. We want your equipment to arrive in excellent condition and ready to use from the moment it is delivered. Glasses are polished and arrive in crates to avoid any damage, and everything else is delivered in hard boxes to keep them clean and scratch free.

Why hire bar equipment instead of buying it?

Professional bar equipment is designed for commercial use and can be expensive to buy. Hiring means you only pay for what you need, when you need it, without having to worry about storage, maintenance or transporting bulky equipment between events. It also means we can help with the set up – if you need a bar structure we can set it up for you and deliver the glasses exactly where you need.

How long can I hire bar equipment for?

Our standard hire period is up to five days, giving you plenty of time to prepare before your event and return everything afterwards. If you need your equipment for longer, simply let us know and we’ll be happy to arrange an extended hire.
