Does your favourite bar go above and beyond for the community or has it shaken up an innovative cocktail?
You have just two days left to share their successes and help crown your Lanarkshire local top of the Scots.
It is the final few days left to enter Scotland’s longest running licensed trade awards - dubbed the ‘hospitality Oscars’ – the Scottish Bar & Pub Awards 2022.
The prestigious annual event is looking for establishments from John O’Groats to the Mull of Galloway who deserve to be recognised for their offerings.
And now is your chance to shout about your favourite place in Lanarkshire.
At the 27th annual event, category sponsors are looking to hear from staff, customers and community members who would like to see their much-loved establishment take home a coveted accolade across one of the nineteen specialised categories.
Nominations are open until June 30 and establishments have the chance to be shortlisted for recognition as Benromach Whisky Bar of the Year, the Molinari Casual Dining Award or the Pernod Ricard Best Late Night Venue.
Stolichnaya is on the hunt for a bar, restaurant or hotel that operates with a sustainable business model – from recycled bottles to reducing plastic waste. If that is you, they want to hear from you.
Meanwhile, Hungrrr is looking for an establishment that is forward-thinking and has embraced technology to keep their business driving forward.
Antos is also looking to find the best Dog Friendly Pub of the Year, The Busker is seeking out the Innovative Cocktail Bar of the Year and Hi-Spirits want to find the Best Live Music Venue.
The awards also look to celebrate rising stars in the industry, community-minded establishments and overall give a much-needed boost to those championing the late-night economy.
New for 2022, The Molson Coors Scottish Bar of the year award will look to recognise operators that offer something special for their locals or are full of exceptional teams that make the industry so vibrant and fresh.
Organiser Susan Young said: “Scotland has the best people and our awards are here to commend those charismatic individuals and their incredible venues that make up Scotland’s unparalleled hospitality landscape. But they need your help to vote for them. Reward the efforts of your favourite pub or bar and vote now on The Scottish Bar & Pub Awards website."
To enter your local bar into this year’s awards, simply vote online to cast your nomination. Every vote counts as the ten competitors with the most votes from each category will receive a visit from ‘mystery shoppers’ before the finalists are revealed.
Following a judging process, the winners will then be announced at a glittering award ceremony on August 30 at The Doubletree by Hilton Glasgow Central.
