Welcome to Set The Bar – Where Connections and Craft Collide!
Crafting Extraordinary Connections, One Event at a Time
Discover Set The Bar, a hub where the art of connection meets the craft of creating memorable moments. Rooted in the heart of the Gold Coast, Set The Bar is the brainchild of a bartender with a mission – to make a good bartender easily accessible for your event, to give bartenders more freedom to showcase their skills and find work, and to streamline the entire process for both sides.
Designed to Set The Bar, For You
Launching in 2025 with its roots in the Gold Coast, Set The Bar was designed primarily to simplify the process of finding extra work in their industry. With financial pressures of life always looming and an industry that is strongly dependent on tourism and not always dependable, I wanted to give our people a simple way to bridge the gaps with easily accessible event work. On the flipside, we’ve also made it very simple for you to get your hands on a good bartender, someone who will not only make drinks, but provide great service, bring a wealth of knowledge, and make sure everyone enjoys your event safely.
Our Founder, Mark Kilroy
Mark, originally born in Melbourne and raised in Mildura, Victoria got his first bartending job the day he turned 18 and has been part of the industry ever since. He moved to the Gold Coast to manage bars, and started picking up event work, hosting masterclasses and special releases. He found it to be a nice change to the usual day to day of bartending, and made invaluable connections with figureheads in the industry along the way.
Still bartending today and loving every minute of it, he aims to bring life and passion back to an industry still reeling from Covid and give excellent bartenders more freedom to display their craft.
