A flair bartender is a professional bartender who specializes in the art of flair or trick bartending. In addition to having excellent mixology skills, flair bartenders perform flashy moves to entertain guests as they serve. These tricks may include juggling, spinning, and flipping bottles and shakers to make impressive pours.
On average, a professional flair bartender costs $500-$1,200. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the length of the event, the number of guests, and the bartender’s skill level.
Bartenders, including flair bartenders, typically bring their own specialized equipment, including shakers, bottles, and other tools required for their flair routines. You will likely be responsible for glassware, ice, coolers, and possibly mixers. You’ll also cover the cost of the alcohol.
You should go over all of these details with the bartender before you book. Tell them what will be provided by the venue, figure out what they can bring themselves, and then determine what you are responsible for and any associated costs.
Flair bartenders can collaborate with other bartenders at the event to help ensure efficient service. They can take on the role of entertainment-focused bartenders while the others focus on standard bartending duties.
It’s up to you to determine how to handle tipping vendors at your event. It is common for bartenders to accept tips from their patrons, especially when performing flair routines. However, if you’d like to avoid having a tip jar or requiring guests to carry cash at an open bar, you can offer one lump-sum tip at the end of the event.
Flair bartenders are a unique and exciting addition to all types of events. Amaze the guests at your company party, wedding reception, cocktail hour, birthday celebration, or fundraiser. Really, any occasion that involves serving drinks will be enhanced by some flashy flair bartending.
