The National Pub & Bar Awards 2024 announce winners

Pubs and bars from across the UK are celebrating after being named the best in their respective regions. The award wins are part of the 2024 National Pub & Bar Awards, which each year crowns nearly 100 County Winners from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, giving each site a unique platform to promote themselves and increase guest footfall from locals and visitors alike.

These hospitality operators have demonstrated excellence across several elements including design, service, style of offer, marketing and investment. The venues now have more than two months in which to trade off their win, before making their way to the National Pub & Bar Awards grand final on 26 June 2024. The awards night will also crown the Pub Group of the Year, Bar Group of the Year, The Tyrrells Tyrrellbly Good Taste Award – presented by the event's headline sponsor – and, finally, the overall National Pub & Bar of the Year.

"The fact that we had record entries for the 2024 National Pub & Bar Awards tells us two things," says Tristan O'Hana, editor of Pub & Bar magazine, which runs the event. "One is how highly the industry regards these accolades, which is fantastic. But, also, it shows that more operators need positive and strong publicity to help drive business at the moment. Pubs and bars are facing some of the biggest challenges in recent history, so if the National Pub & Bar Awards can help by lifting sales across these venues, then we're delighted to play our part."

The National Pub & Bar Awards 2024 is sponsored by Tyrrells, ICRTouch, Kerrymaid, Panasonic, Santa Maria and Sky Business. For more information, visit https://nationalpubandbarawards.co.uk
