About Us
In 2025, Orange Beach Bars delivered 147 events nationwide, including 93 brand activations.
We poured over 250,000 pints, served draught beer at 100% of our events, and proudly operated with 0% single-use plastic, proving that premium, high volume service and sustainability can go hand in hand.
Our year featured 39 Thatchers Haze Sessions, 29 Thatchers Juicy Sounds activations, and bar operations at festivals ranging from 4,000 to 250,000 attendees – from Glastonbury to Pride to TUCO. Backed by a crew of over 60 exceptional staff, we brought our signature blend of warm service, industry expertise and passion to every project.
Across 147 events over 128 days, often serving multiple events in the same weekend, we showed what true end-to-end delivery looks like and were honoured to be named finalists in two Festival Supplier Awards: Best Bar and Best Unique Structure
For us, it’s more than bars; it’s about precision in delivery, pride in our craft, and the welcoming professionalism that defines our service.
How we raise the bar
Sustainabilty
Sustainability is built into everything we do.
From eliminating single-use plastics to prioritising reusable materials and digital systems, we’re committed to low-impact, environmentally sound operations.
Our reusable cup scheme helps events cut waste while enhancing the attendee experience; using a simple deposit-return system that encourages reuse, reduces waste management costs, and offers a creative branding opportunity.
We also choose local suppliers wherever possible, streamline logistics to cut transport emissions, and work with brand partners who share our values.
Creativity
No two events are ever the same and neither are our bar solutions. From custom-built mobile bars and curated drinks menus to full-scale bespoke structures and layout design, every setup is tailored to reflect the spirit of the festival or brand.
Our team brings ideas to life from concept to technical install, blending creativity with practicality and years of on-the-ground experience.
Whether designing an eye-catching structure, managing full production, or creating immersive brand moments that maximise exposure, we balance imagination with industry know-how to deliver bars that are unique, functional, and built to perform.
Staff
Our event staff are trained to deliver quality at speed without ever losing the personal touch.
More than bartenders, they’re true brand ambassadors; engaging guests with professionalism, warmth, and bar knowledge. All of our directors, managers, and bar supervisors are personal licence holders
Confident, capable, and committed, they bring our bars, and our partners' events, to life.
