We were lucky enough to have Marcus and Thays run the bar for our engagement party - not only were the cocktails impeccable but they were an absolute pleasure to have at our party… you can really tell Marcus has a great deal of passion for his craft and we couldn’t be happier with the service he provided! From start to finish Marcus was attentive, friendly and extremely helpful; from curating our favourite cocktails, explaining everything in detail, offering insight and ensuring everything ran smoothly for out party and even creating a few off menu cocktails and mocktails during the evening for some of our guests - we were all very impressed and can definitely see why Marcus holds the title for 25th best in the world! In fact we were so impressed, that we will be making sure we lock Marcus in for our wedding!!

Honestly, 6 Star service if there was such a thing! We are so glad that we found Shake & Strain, everybody was asking, "Who's that? Where'd you find them?". Marcus and his crew are natural hosts working the floors tirelessly. And I learnt after the party - they were only too happy to accommodate peoples' requests for mocktails and secret menu items - I wish I asked too, hahaha! The whole process from quoting and coming up with the menu to the delivery, and the social media content after made my life so easy and allowed me to really just revel and enjoy the moment. I have 100% trust in you - thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Thank you Marcus for providing us with your excellent cocktail and bar service for my wifes intimate birthday party with her close friends. The girls all had a fantastic night and your amazing drinks were hands down the best we've ever had. Everyone loved them. The way you set up and ran the night was extremely professional and well done. We'd highly recommend Shake and Strain for anyone looking for a bespoke cocktail or bat tending service.

Had Marcus and the team for my partners 40th birthday party at our place. They were professional, on time and just made the night really special. The cocktails were amazing- especially the extra flourishes like having multiple salt blends for margaritas. Everyone who came commented on how good they were. I can’t recommend them more highly.

I hired Shake & Strain Bar for a work function and they were incredible! We had a Margarita and taco night and they not only provided us with three types of Margaritas, they also put so much thought into a mocktail that would compliment. Everyone loved them and their friendly service. I'd definitely hire them again!
