Cocktail Table Hire for Pubs, Clubs and Bars in Sydney: Overflow Seating That Works

If you manage a pub, club, or bar in Sydney, you know the problem. Friday and Saturday nights you need more furniture than a quiet Tuesday. Private functions pop up and suddenly you need 10 extra cocktail tables. The beer garden’s packed in summer but empty in winter. Buying furniture for peak demand means it sits in storage the rest of the time.

That’s where short-term hire makes sense. Here’s how it works.

Hire vs Buy — The Numbers

A decent commercial-grade cocktail table costs $200 to $400 to buy outright. You also need covers, storage space, and someone to maintain them. If you need 10 extra tables for a busy weekend, that’s $2,000 to $4,000 in furniture that sits in the storeroom most of the year.

Hiring those same 10 tables costs $200 total. That’s $20 per table, and each one comes with a fitted stretch cover in black or white. Bar stools are $5 each if you need seating to match.

For one-off events or seasonal overflow, the maths is straightforward. Hire wins every time.

How the 4-Day Hire Period Works for Venues

Our standard hire is a 4-day period, which lines up perfectly with how venues actually operate:

• Thursday: Delivery or pickup — set up at your own pace
• Friday & Saturday: Use the furniture for your busiest trading nights
• Sunday or Monday: Pack down and return or have us collect

No rushing to get everything back the next morning. You’ve got breathing room built in.

What You Can Hire

Everything comes in black or white:

• Cocktail table with stretch cover: $20
• Bar stool / cocktail chair: $5
• Cake plinth (works as a display stand for promotional setups): $50

There’s no minimum order. Need two tables for a private function room? Done. Need 20 for a beer garden expansion? Also done.

Private Functions and One-Off Events

A lot of pubs and clubs host private functions — birthdays, engagements, corporate drinks — and the host expects the space to look the part. Cocktail tables and bar stools instantly lift a function area without you needing to invest in permanent furniture.

You can pass the hire cost through to the function organiser or absorb it as part of the venue fee. Either way, $20 per table is an easy line item.

Regular Hire for Busy Periods

Some venues hire from us regularly — every weekend through summer, or whenever a big event’s on. We’re happy to accommodate repeat bookings. The pricing stays the same, and you already know what you need.

Delivery Across Sydney

We’re based in Kingsgrove and deliver across the metro area:

• 0-10km: $100 each way
• 10-20km: $150 each way
• 20-30km: $200 each way
• 30-40km: $250 each way

If your venue’s got a ute or van, pickup from Kingsgrove is free. Plenty of venue managers swing past and grab what they need — cocktail tables fold flat, so they’re easy to transport.

Invoice and ABN Available

We provide tax invoices and our ABN for all bookings. If you need to run it through your accounts or claim it as a business expense, that’s all sorted.

We’ve worked with over 460 events since 2019, including pubs, clubs, bars, and restaurants across Sydney.
