Themed Party Bars

There’s a reason people remember a great party — it’s the experience. And nothing brings a celebration to life like a themed bar that wows your guests, ties into your event, and gets the drinks flowing with flair. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, birthday bash, or bachelorette party, a themed party bar adds a personal, unforgettable touch.

Here are some of our favorite themed bar ideas to inspire your next event:

1. Tropical Tiki Bar

Transport your guests to an island paradise with a tiki-themed setup. Think bamboo décor, fresh pineapples, colorful leis, and signature rum cocktails like Mai Tais, Blue Hawaiians, or frozen Piña Coladas served in coconuts.

Perfect for: Summer weddings, pool parties, beachy birthdays

2. Speakeasy Cocktail Lounge

Step back into the roaring ‘20s with a vintage bar inspired by prohibition-era glam. Serve up classic cocktails like Old Fashioneds, Sidecars, and French 75s with gold accents, moody lighting, and jazz tunes to set the tone.

Perfect for: Corporate events, formal galas, themed birthdays

3. Western Whiskey Bar

Channel the spirit of the Wild West with a rustic whiskey bar. Think wooden barrels, leather accents, bourbon flights, and signature drinks like whiskey sours and smoked Old Fashioneds.

Perfect for: Barn weddings, backyard celebrations, country-chic events

4. Glitz & Glam Champagne Bar

Elevate your event with bubbles and sparkle. Offer a mimosa station, rosé bar, or sparkling wine with customizable mixers, fruits, and edible glitter.

Perfect for: Bridal showers, bachelorette parties, NYE celebrations

5. DIY Margarita or Mojito Bar

Let guests customize their cocktails with a build-your-own station. Provide fresh herbs, fruits, salts, and syrups so they can craft their perfect marg or mojito.

Perfect for: Casual weddings, Cinco de Mayo parties, summer soirées

6. Retro 90s Bar

Serve throwback drinks with a nostalgic vibe — think bright colors, fun flavors, and playful presentation. Stock it with adult Capri Suns, Jell-O shots, and spiked punch bowls.

Perfect for: Milestone birthdays, themed bashes, reunions

7. Mocktail & Hydration Bar

Not every party has to revolve around alcohol. A themed mocktail bar with sparkling waters, juices, herbal infusions, and fun garnishes creates an inclusive experience for all your guests — and it photographs beautifully, too.

Perfect for: Baby showers, brunches, wellness events
