Bartenders for Hire

A Brief History

Before we started offering bartenders for hire extensively, Mixes From Mars started out in April 2013 doing private parties. The company then started Mars Bar at The Duxton Hotel in December 2013, and currently run Hopscotch at Red Dot Traffic Building, as well as our cocktail catering service. Incorporating a craft cocktail concept, we have put our spin on local flavours to create a unique flair that places both bars amongst the best in the Singapore bar scene.

Mixes from Mars

In 2013 Roger was working at a bespoke cocktail bar in Haji lane, where he got his first event, a birthday party. Coming from a bespoke bar, the service for that night was also of a bespoke nature. The guests were exhilarated and were more than happy that they could hire a professional bartender and receive quality craft cocktails at an intimate house party. There was a demand, and the word spread. Soon enough, we were doing more events, parties and functions, and the company Mixes from Mars was formed.

Previously working from our physical bars, Mixes from Mars has recently acquired a small office/warehouse space over at Henderson Building to store our inventory of more than 2000 glasswares – all this to support our on-demand bartender engagement services.

Mars Bar

By the end of 2013, and the grace of a client, Mixes from Mars is able to secure a popup bar over at the luxurious lobby of The Duxton Hotel. And hence, Mars Bar was born. Finally! a physical bar to call home.

Mars Bar presents an extensive menu featuring definitive local flavours, with drinks inspired by familiar flavours like bak kwa and milo. The experimental menu, which also comprises a range of exciting punch options, places Mars Bar at the forefront of the craft cocktail scene amidst Singapore bars. For the full experience, the option of a personalised bespoke cocktail is available as well. Mars Bar also provides a comprehensive customer experience ranging from friendly staff to product and ambience excellence. This is how we trained the services of our bartenders for hire.

Unfortunately, as The Duxton Hotel was due for a big renovation, Mars Bar closed its doors in July 2015. Our resting memories lie in the form of pictures in
Mars Bar’s Facebook page.

Hopscotch Bar

The latest installation by Mixes from Mars. Founded in the middle of 2014, Hopscotch is a craft cocktail bar tucked within the clandestine courtyard of former traffic police headquarters, Red Dot Traffic Building.

While preserving the local elements of Mars Bar, Hopscotch ventures deeper into modern techniques with her fancy gadgets and exciting flavour pairings with her quirky infusions and tinctures. Daring twists on Singaporean favourites take the stage as the team combines fresh, flavourful ingredients and a playful spirit for innovative drinks that tease the palate.

Hopscotch changes its menu every 6 months, and always finds itself serving the most interesting and wackiest of cocktails in the market. With live bands playing every Friday and Saturdays, Hopscotch has also recently opened a games booth, featuring nostalgic games enjoyed in our childhood to add on to the vibes.

Today, Hopscotch has grown to become one of Singapore’s more popular cocktail bars. Our bartenders for hire are always sharpening their skills at the bar. Drop by and have a taste of our customary tipples.

Roger Yip

Business Development

With a strong love for drinking, there is no reason why Roger did not eventually find out about the hidden world of cocktails. He has worked at a range F&B places since he was 16, from a banquet server at Swissotel, to a barman at Bar Bar Black Sheep, a bartender at Barstories, and a short stint at Jekyll & Hyde.

Schooling by day, Roger retreats to his second home at Hopscotch every night to do what he loves best. Although handling more of the administrative role in Mixes from Mars, Roger spends as much time on coming up with the most wacky of cocktails.

Louis Tan

Operations

Bold, courageous and adventurous, Louis Tan has vast experience in the F&B industry. At only the age of 23, Louis has already worked in several establishments and reputable cocktail bars; more notably Take, Klee and Bar Stories.

He had taken the great leap of helming Mars Bar at The Duxton. A firm believer in the application of knowledge, Louis spends most of his time reading books about flavours, cocktails and drinks, as well as watching bartending videos. Louis has played a rudimentary role in the fostering of Mixes from Mars, Mars Bar and Hopscotch.

Joel Newin

Chief Mixologist

“Young and dangerous”, the bartender has indeed secured this title from a recent competition. Sporting a different hairdo each time, Jo (which he introduces himself as) is all about making sure you have a good time! His drinks have melted the hearts of many women, and his jovial and lighthearted spirit broke the tough-guy facades of many men. Under his gallivanting spirit; lies the heart of a mastermind behind the ingenious menus of Hopscotch. He also recently emerged a finalist in the La Maison Cointreau Competition in 2015. Since the departure of Kino Soh from Hopscotch in Oct 2015, Jo now helms Hopscotch bar.

Sandy Lai

Events & Logistics

The bartending wunderkind of Mixes from Mars! Beginning her bartending career at Mars Bar, Sandy has made tremendous leaps in picking the trade of night banter and tipples. Besides the amazing drinks, Sandy is so much about customer service that you may just feel guilty for under tipping. Don’t be deceived by the gentle demeanour, Sandy has one mean shake you’ll never forget!

Nicholas Goh

Sales & Marketing

The latest addition to the team, Nicholas is no newcomer. Nicholas has been bartending with Mixes from Mars ever since its inception in 2013, he has since worked stints at both Mars bar and Hopscotch and have picked up the fine trade of drink making.

Although an awesome bartender, his true strength lies in his glib tongue. Nicholas enjoys deep and meaningful conversations with his guests. No wonder the ladies love him.

Unparalleled service standards

The Mission and Motto

What you can expect

As we understand that your event is important, Mixes from Mars is committed to delivering the best bartenders for hire in the market, and this is realised through unparalleled service standards, and well executed craft cocktails. Drawing experience from craft cocktail bars, the bartenders you get will run your event and private bars in a similar fashion. This means ensuring the following.

Drinks Catering

Cocktail making by Mixes from Mars is an arduous process, which starts off with coming up with a story that is befitting of the theme. Each drink will also go through rigorous taste tests which ensure balance in taste, and beautiful flavour pairings. Next, the focus shifts towards the aesthetics of each drink, where they will be garnished in a relevant, elegant and yet practical manner. That is why people hire our drinks catering company, Mixes from Mars. The goal is to bring you drinks from out of this world and to exceed taste expectations.

Bartenders For Hire

As our roots come from the bar itself, the qualities are similar. That is to first start by ensuring that all our bartenders are well trained, and knowledgable in the products they are serving and the bartending techniques they are using. They are also well groomed, professional, and will ensure bar cleanliness and tidiness at all times. Next is the fun aspect of bartending which we all signed up for, which is to constantly interact with guests, create good vibes, and encourage chatter. We love bartending for that same reason.

Event Management

We also understand that there is the business side of things, and you will want efficiency as much as you would want quality. Our event management team ensures that you will get quick responses and attention to detail. Some of the qualities we stress most are honesty and integrity. We don’t believe in selling you a product or service you don’t need. It doesn’t make sense for us to do that because we will never feel good about ourselves and you will never hire our bartenders again.
