Bars are an integral part of any licensed event. They provide atmosphere, personality, shelter, entertainment and, of course, alcoholic beverages.

Here at The Really Good Bar Company we feel that the customers, performers, crew and everyone involved in creating a great event deserve to be served great drinks well. This is why we work so hard to create a genuinely diverse product range customised to each event we work with. You won’t find homogenised, overpriced products but you will almost certainly discover several new local ales, a good selection of well served draught lagers and ciders, a premium spirit selection, deliciously seasonal cocktails and interesting UK, European & New World wines as well as a good range of soft drinks & juices.

Great drinks are supported by great staff who are all fully experienced, passionate bar professionals. Each and every one will have been individually vetted by the company to ensure they have the right skills and personality to bring to your event. Our staff are as diverse as our products, but all have a common passion for bartending and festivals. Our specialist, experienced staff and crew make your festival bars the best they can be – which, in turn, makes your festival stand out from the crowd.

The Really Good Bar Company can work with your event on a management fee, profit share or % of turnover basis. The Really Good Bar Company runs really good bars at a range of events from music festivals to sporting events to private parties. We specialise in small-medium sized events (500 – 50,000) where we work alongside the organisers to create genuinely unique and exciting events. As an integral part of an event’s crew we work best with clients who share our passion for throwing a great party in a fun, safe, friendly environment, which we can be proud to be involved with.

If you have an event that you would like to discuss with us, just ring us on 01983 875033 or email hello@reallygoodbars.com for some clear independent suggestions to improve your bars.

A Selection from our Portfolio

Moor Music

The festival is set on a beautiful hillside in the stunning, rolling hills around Ilkley, West Yorkshire. The festival has been described as ‘a little haven of lovely white marquees, organic food, and frosty beers’. With a full weekend of entertainment for the 3000 music fans, and full bar set up from Gorilla this young festival is sure to grow each year.

The Big Chill

The Big Chill festival has quickly established itself as one of the more refined festivals on the summer circuit. Featuring several outdoor stages, large dance tents, and a wealth of entertainment, the festival draws a capacity of 30,000.

Proudly supported by Gorilla, the boys at ‘Soulshakers’ ( www.soulshakers.net ) provide an invaluable consultancy role managing and staffing the cocktail bars at this incredible event.

This demanding task creates the magic that is the Southern Comfort Fat Tuesday tent and The Finlandia Cocktail Bar,serving more than 10,000 cocktails over 4 days. In 2006 The Fat Tuesday tent claimed the prestigious award of ‘Best Atmosphere’ in the Times, proving that the Gorilla and Soul Shakers blend is truly rocking the festival market.
