About
Your bar team, built for events
BarNextDoor is a hands-on festival and event bar operations partner. We are the people who plan the bars, run them on the day and keep everything moving, so you get sharp bars, quick service and a team that takes pride in doing the job properly.
Who we are
Founded by
event people
BarNextDoor was founded by Barry Sharp and Connor Allen, combining more than 30 years of nightlife, festival and international event operations.
We understand the whole event, not just the bar. Our experience covers festival operations, venues, licensing, staffing, production, security, crowd flow and guest experience. That means the bars are planned as part of the wider event and work properly when the gates open.
What we do
One team. One plan.
Bar planning and operations
We design and run bars built for the crowd in front of them.
Staffing and training
Reliable, friendly teams who know how to move at pace.
Stock, equipment and POS
The right kit, the right stock and tills that keep the queue down.
Live delivery and reporting
Hands-on delivery on the day and clean numbers afterwards.
Our experience
From beach clubs to festival fields
Our team's experience spans boutique events, nightlife venues, international beach clubs, independent festivals and large-scale festival operations serving tens of thousands of guests.
