Buck N Bar is based in Townsville and available for hire across northern Queensland. Whether you’re located north, south or west of Townsville, 1, 3 or 8 hours away, we’d love to discuss your mobile bar hire needs.
Unfortunately, we do not provide glassware to avoid charging breakage fees. We do however provide plastic cups.
Our mobile bar service is a dry bar, meaning that the cost doesn’t include any beverages. You can either source your own kegs to stock our bar, or, arrange for us to pick up what you need.
If you’d like to make your own mixes, we do have a limited number of empty kegs that we can gas and chill for you once you’ve provided your mixes. We will invoice you separately for any kegs we purchase on your behalf.
Our bar can store up to six 50 litre kegs each connected to an individual tap for easy, self-serve access.
How many kegs you need will depend on how much you expect your guests to drink.
Yes we can!
If you have pre-arranged for Buck N Bar to bring your drinks to you, we will ensure your kegs are chilled. If you have sourced your own kegs, we do recommend chilling them if possible – this helps our iced cold room stay colder for longer.
We allow approximately 1 hour to set up our service and to pack down. This time is included with the cost of each hire.
When you hire Buck N Bar, you are hiring the bar – not wait staff and cleaning staff. Please ensure you have provided waste disposal facilities for your guests.

No. Our cold room keg storage system ensures that your drinks stay cool without the need for power access.
