The awards, run by industry magazine DRAM, are Scotland’s longest running hospitality awards and the winners will be crowned at a spectacular ‘Grand Ole Opry’ themed awards ceremony on Tuesday 27th August in Glasgow.
Over the last three decades the event has become known as one of the most prestigious events in Scotland’s licensed trade calendar as they celebrate the people and hospitality venues across Scotland that make the industry the success it is!
Finalists include the popular Kitty O’Shea’s and Waxy O’Connor’s which are up for Jameson Best Irish Bar, The Absent Ear and the Kelvingrove Café who are fighting it out to be Brugal 1888 Cocktail Bar of the Year and Fullbacks Sports and Pizza Bar (Milngavie), Hope and Vincent and The Tap Yard who are all hoping to nab the Sims Automatic Sports Bar of the Year accolade. There are also plenty more venues and individuals from Glasgow represented across nearly 25 categories!
Organiser Susan Young said: “I would like to congratulate all our finalists from around the country. Their customers have voted in their 1000s to ensure their favourite pubs, bars, restaurants and bar staff get the recognition they deserve.
“Despite the pressures hospitality faces, these businesses have worked hard at keeping and pleasing their customers and their hard work has been recognised. Our mystery shoppers and judges have also been incredibly positive about the standard of entry and the fantastic service they received on their visits.”
More than 600 hospitality industry champions will gather at the event to find out who will scoop the top awards.
