Team building events have come a long way from awkward icebreakers and trust falls. These days, businesses are looking for fresh, fun, and interactive experiences that actually bring people together and leave a lasting impact on morale, collaboration, and culture.
If you’re planning a team event and want something that breaks the mould, here’s a simple idea that works across industries, team sizes, and seasons: add a bar experience.
Whether it’s a cocktail class, mocktail challenge, or after-activity drinks session, a professionally-run mobile bar can turn a good team event into a great one — boosting engagement, connection, and enjoyment.
Why Team Building Events Need to Be Fun (and Well-Planned)
The goal of any team building activity is to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and encourage collaboration. But let’s be honest — if the event feels forced, dull, or awkward, it’s a missed opportunity.
That’s why incorporating a social, shared experience like drinks works so well. It creates a relaxed environment where people can let their guard down, laugh, and bond outside of their usual work roles.
Adding a drinks component is especially powerful because:
✅ It encourages genuine connection (not just structured small talk)
✅ It rewards teams and shows appreciation
✅ It adds a premium, fun vibe to the event
✅ It helps teams unwind and relax post-activity
✅ It’s highly customisable — for every team size, setting, and style
Bar Ideas That Work Perfectly for Team Building Events
Depending on the style of your event and your team culture, there are a few ways to incorporate a drinks experience:
1. Interactive Cocktail or Mocktail Masterclasses
Let your team learn the art of mixology with hands-on classes led by professional bartenders. Great for groups, these sessions are fun, inclusive, and spark plenty of laughs and collaboration.
2. Themed Drinks Challenges
Split into teams and compete to create the best cocktail or mocktail. Judged on creativity, taste, and presentation — this is a fantastic way to encourage teamwork and friendly competition.
3. End-of-Event Celebration Bars
Wrap up your outdoor challenge day, workshop, or retreat with a stylish mobile bar setup serving cocktails, beer, wine, or non-alcoholic options. A great way to celebrate and say thanks.
4. Juice and Smoothie Bars for Wellness Days
Planning a health or mindfulness-themed event? A juice or smoothie bar gives your team something refreshing and energising while aligning with wellness goals.
