Last Updated: 7 May 2024 10:31
Last year the standard of entrants was at an all-time high and Glasgow knocked it out of the park with winners including St Lukes & The Winged Ox who won Best Live Music Venue and Gillian Kirkland of The Piper Whisky Bar who took home the Inspirational Woman of the Year gong! So, this year organisers can’t wait to hear about your Glasgow favourites!
Voting has just opened, and the organisers are looking for a host of fine establishments including new bars on the block, the best whisky bars for a dram, Irish bars with all the craic and even stunning outside areas!
In fact, they want to hear about all about bars that are the talk of the town, the legendary locals and even the magnificent mixologists across the country!
It’s not just all about pubs though. They also want to know about the real characters that make the licensed trade shine in Scotland such as whisky gurus, up and coming entrepreneurs and the bar managers that are taking the industry by storm.
Schweppes are even looking for a ‘Bartender of the Year’ - someone who stands out from the crowd and goes that extra mile for their customers. Bobby the Barman need not apply!
They have to be in it to win it, and you can give them that chance!
This is the 29th year for Scotland’s longest running licensed trade awards and judges will be travelling the length and breadth of Scotland on mystery visits. So, if you know somewhere or someone that deserves a big pat on the back, it’s time to get voting for them!
Voting is easy, just go to www.scottishbarandpubawards.com/awards/ and you can vote in as many different categories as you like. Voting closes on the 16th of June, finalists will be announced shortly after, and the winners will be crowned at the glittering award ceremony in Glasgow on the 27th of August!
You can also find a full list of all categories here including Benromach Whisky Bar of the Year, Brugal 1888 Cocktail Bar of The Year, Cold Town Craft Beer Bar of The Year, Jameson Best Irish Bar, Kopparberg New Bar of the Year, Molinari Hotel Bar of the Year, Sims Automatics Sports Bar of The Year and the Staropramen Award for Outstanding Quality.
