AWARDSSLÁINTE
A ll of the team here at Ashville Media Group are delighted to finally welcome you back to this, the 2022 Bar of the Year Awards. The past couple of years have presented the on trade with unprecedented challenges, but the resilience that pubs and bars around the country have shown has been nothing short of remarkable. Now in their 17th year, the Bar of the Year Awards give publicans an opportunity to pause and reflect on their achievements over the past few years. They remind the food and drink industry, and indeed the country, of what the on trade is best at – providing a warm welcome, a good pint and the highest level of hospitality. This event recognises the knowledgeable staff that work in Ireland’s bars and pubs, the innovation that has been particularly evident over the past couple of years and the excellent service and quality that exists today within the licensed trade.
Denise Maguire Editor, Licensing World
The Bar of the Year Awards are dedicated to raising the profile of the licensed trade and recognising the establishments that have gone above and beyond when it comes to good customer service. Whether you’re a traditional, longstanding pub or a new arrival on the scene, we wish you the best of luck tonight. Here’s to a fantastic night and we look forward to seeing you next year!

F rom all of us here at the Bar of the Year Awards, we would like to extend a huge thank you to our judging panel that took time out of their busy schedules to help make these awards possible. They meticulously reviewed every entry, site inspected every property, and discussed in incredible detail each and every entrant. They undertook the near impossible task of cutting down the list to our current finalists and, indeed, choosing our winners which, as you can imagine, was no easy job and didn’t go without a few heated debates!
