Why Hire the Barman
A quarter-century of
flawless events.
Now poured for the North West.
Founded in London in 2000 by Shaun Maher, Hire the Barman has spent 25 years quietly running the bars at events you've heard of, for brands you'd recognise.
In 2024, we brought the same team, training and standards to a permanent North West base. Same discipline. Same calm under pressure. Same insistence that every serve looks like the first of the night.
