Waiter/Waitress
At The Sydney Mixologists we offer waiter/waitress hire to serve anything related to beverages.
​The benefit of having a waiter/waitress is that your guests are able to stand, sit, dance or be anywhere in your event while their drinks come to them which also ensures that there isn’t a queue at the bar.
You also have the option of hiring our waiter or waitress separately for food service.
​You can rest assured knowing that our waiter/waitress will give yourself and your guests an experience that will not be forgotten.
Bar-back
Our bar-backs provide assistance to our bartenders. The Sydney Mixologists have ensured that their bar-backs work efficiently behind the scenes to keep the bar running smoothly without anyone noticing they are even there.
Having a bar-back at your event ensures that the bar is fully equipped with drinks, cups, ice etc all night long, leaving the bartender to solely focus on providing, creating and serving drinks to your guests.
​If you are hiring glassware from The Sydney Mixologist  then our bar-back is also able to wash the glassware throughout the night which ensures you aren’t hiring high quantities of glassware which ultimately benefits you.
