OCCASIO

Bar hire

Bar hire for your event, done properly.

OCCASIO designs, builds and runs bars for weddings, celebrations and brand events across Scotland and the UK. 
Not a counter and a drinks list - a bar with a clear idea, stocked by local producers and staffed by people who care about the serve.

A bar guests gather around

The bar is where an event's energy collects. It sets the pace of the evening, starts the conversations and carries the hospitality. We treat it as part of the architecture: sited where the room wants it, built to suit the setting, lit so it draws people in without shouting.

Then we stock it properly. Scottish spirits, local brewers and distillers, seasonal garnishes, softs with the same care as the cocktails. The menu is written for your guests - the whisky drinkers, the designated drivers and everyone between.

02Ways to hire

The celebration bar

Weddings, anniversaries and private parties. A bar dressed for the room, a menu built around the people drinking it, and a welcome serve in hand within minutes of arrival.

The brand bar

Launches, tastings and activations for drinks brands and their agencies. The product leads; everything around it is designed to make the first serve land and the story travel.

The festival bar

High-volume bars for outdoor events and public festivals. Fast service, resilient builds and menus that hold their character at two thousand covers as well as two hundred.
