About Kombi Crew
Kombi Crew is a mobile bar and coffee business owned by husband and wife Az and Courts. It started with a single vintage van and now runs several, with a home base at the Thrive Building in Tonsley where the team serves coffee and holds event consultations and tastings. The headline van is Deirdre, a restored 1974 Kombi fitted out as a bar. She can be hired dry, with you supplying the drinks, or with full service, run as a open bar paid by the host, a cash bar where guests buy their own, a per-person package or a BYO service. Bookings include RSA-qualified bartenders, the crew's liquor licence, public liability insurance, ice, garnishes and set-up, with glassware options available. A minimum hosted spend applies to open bars. Gertie is the espresso van, using locally roasted beans with dairy and alternative milks for everything from a flat white to a chai or hot chocolate. She can be booked as a hosted coffee service, pay-as-you-go or for a full day at a corporate site. The most requested booking pairs both vans for weddings, corporate celebrations and events on private properties. The drinks focus on local producers – wine, beer and cocktails made with spirits from nearby distillers – and menus can be tailored, with your own graphics shown on the bar's screen. Each van needs about 3m by 6m of space, and an indoor bar of 60cm by 240cm is also available. Set-up usually takes 30 minutes. The crew has worked large public events and festivals as well as small backyard celebrations.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need our own liquor licence to hire Kombi Crew?
No. Kombi Crew holds a permanent mobile liquor licence, so it can sell alcohol at your event as long as there is a designated bar area.
How much does the Kombi bar cost?
Published starting points are $700 for two hours of cocktail service with two staff (kegs extra), $1,400 for four hours of bar service with two staff, and $250 for espresso service with a barista. Final quotes depend on guest numbers, location and services.
How much space and power do the Kombis need?
Each van needs roughly 3m by 6m of floor space. Power is preferred, though the crew can bring a generator; the bar runs on a portable battery but the coffee machine needs more power.
Can we supply our own drinks?
Yes. You can supply the alcohol and the crew will serve it, bringing all the bar equipment and handling set-up and clean-up so you can enjoy the event.
How is a booking secured?
A 25% non-refundable deposit locks in the date, and the balance is due seven days before the event. Bank transfer and credit card are accepted.
