When planning an event, you've likely come across the term "dry bar hire." But what exactly does it means, and how can Genuine Staffing elevate this concept for your next gathering? Let's break it down.
The Traditional Meaning of "Dry Bar Hire"
Traditionally, a "dry bar hire" refers to the rental of just the bar structure itself, without any staff, beverages, or barware included. Essentially, you're getting the physical counter or station where drinks would typically be served. This option is often chosen by hosts who prefer to handle all aspects of the drink service themselves, from purchasing alcohol and mixers to providing glassware and even hiring their own bartenders. It offers maximum flexibility but places the entire responsibility of the bar operation on the event organizer.
