The thirsty float

The Thirsty Float is our mobile bar that comes to you — wherever "you" happens to be across Waitaki, Mackenzie and Central Otago. Weddings, work do's, product launches, big birthdays, or a paddock with a good view: if there's a reason to raise a glass, we'll bring the bar to it.

Cocktails, cold beers, and a wine list that punches above its weight — all poured by a crew who actually know their way around a bar. Keep it simple and BYO your own liquor while we run the service, or let us handle the whole lot start to finish. Either way, you get to enjoy your own party instead of playing barman all night.

Tell us the date, the place and the crowd. We'll sort the rest.

  • Tell us the where, when and how many.

  • Pick your poison — BYO or full package.

  • We rock up, set up, and pour. You enjoy the do.
