The naughty side of The Barmen
Four ways to run it
Pick one, or stack two. The most common booking is a cocktail class for the first hour and then The Barmen X for the rest of the night — the group gets the tame version and the wild one in the same evening.
The cheeky one, hosted with tact. Our most talked-about hens package, and the reason this site exists.
Choose this whenThe group wants the full hens night and someone else to run it.
A classy cocktail night with no games and nothing cheeky. A very good bar, in your house.
Choose this whenThe guest list includes her mother, and you want it to feel expensive.
Hands-on, hosted, and the tamest thing we do. Everyone makes their own and everyone drinks what they make.
Choose this whenThe group would rather shake than be served. More on the class →
The same bar service, the same training, an all-female team. Fully clothed and very good at it.
Choose this whenThe group would simply rather have women behind the bar.
Add-ons
Each one is a separate choice. Booking the waiters does not commit you to the games, and booking the games does not commit you to anything at the bolder end of the list.
Booked by the hour alongside bar service. RSA-trained bartenders who work topless — greeting, pouring, serving and running the games. Men only; we do not book topless female staff. More →
15+ games hosted by someone watching the room rather than playing in it, pitched anywhere from light-hearted to a little more wild. Every game is opt-in and anyone can sit a round out. The full list →
Tell us about her and we will build a round around the in-jokes and the group-chat history. Consistently the game people remember.
A cocktail built and named for the bride, printed on the menu. Costs nothing extra on a bar package and ends up in every photo.
Standard packages are BYO — the group buys the alcohol with our shopping list and we bring everything else. If you would rather we supplied it, ask and we will talk through the options.
Body shots and private dances are available on request, discussed when you book and priced in the quote. Always opt-in, never a surprise, and only as far as the room wants to go.
What it costs
We do not publish a per-head number, because the honest one depends on four things: how many staff you need, how many hours you need them for, where you are, and whether we are supplying the alcohol. A twelve-person hens party in New Farm and a thirty-person one in the hinterland are not the same job.
So: send us the date, the address and the headcount, and you get an itemised quote — staff, hours, travel and add-ons, each on its own line. Every package has a minimum booking duration, set out in that quote. A deposit secures the date.
Monday to Thursday hens nights get 20% off. If the date is flexible, that is the single biggest lever you have.
Good to know
It depends on staff numbers, hours, location and whether we supply the alcohol, so we quote each one rather than publishing a single figure that would be wrong for most groups. Send the date, the address and the headcount and the quote comes back itemised. Monday to Thursday hens nights receive 20% off.
Yes, and most people do. A cocktail class for the first hour followed by bar service for the rest of the night is the most common booking we take. The BarQueens can be applied to any of the others.
On BYO packages the group buys the alcohol with our shopping list, and we bring the bartenders, mixers, glassware, ice and equipment. If you would rather we supplied it, ask and we will talk through the options.
Yes — each package has a minimum duration, set out in your quote. The team arrives 1 to 1.5 hours before service to set up, and set-up and pack-down are included, so you pay for serving time only.
We finish with a last round of your cocktail options, pack down, and leave the space clean. That last part is a bigger deal than it sounds at 11pm.
Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast regularly, and further across Queensland and interstate on request. Travel is quoted up front as its own line.
Next step
Spring Saturdays in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast book out months ahead. Everything else has more room than you would think.
