We launched Bartenders Workshop in Mauritius on the 1st of November 2009. We are up and running and in one month we’ve had four Events and our first Training Session for bartenders. Our offices are based in Bon Espoir, Piton. We have sent over five of our stylish Beyond Bar units which are now available for rental on the Island. The office is run by James Steele and Nic McDonald. You can contact them at James@btw.mu and Nic@btw.mu for events and training requests.

The Bartenders Workshop was involved in the spectacular World Cup Draw that took place in Long Street, Cape Town. Over 50 000 fans, both local and international, attended the event surpassing everyone’s expectations. We had the opportunity to run bars for Amarula and Nederburg at the VIP and Media stands. The day was a huge success with a fantastic atmosphere – even those that don’t watch soccer could not help but get into the spirit of things. It was a successful day for the sponsors and The Bartenders Workshop.

The 2009 Rittelfees was once again a huge scale event for Bartenders Workshop. It was Bartenders Workshop 5th year at the festival and we managed 7 bars with 120 meter of bar counters, attended by 80 bartenders, 7 managers and 16 barbacks and most importantly 40 000 thirsty patrons.

On the 14th of November 09, The Bartenders Worskhop EC ran all the hospitality suites at the International Soccer game, Bafana Bafana vs Japan which was held at the newly built Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. We had 46 staff members on shift and handled 18 suites hand in hand with Warwich hospitality & Champagne Events. Some of our clients included MTN, Vodacom, Dimension Data & SABC.
