Business / Two Lerwick bars in running for pub awards
TWO LERWICK bars have been nominated for a prestigious national award celebrating the best pubs across the UK.
The Dowry and the Douglas Arms (Marlex) will go head-to-head with hostelries across northern Scotland to be named the best in the county.
And they will compete to be named as the best in their region during the ceremony at Big Penny Social in London on Tuesday 24 June.
Over 250 bars across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have been shortlisted, with an array of awards to be handed out on the night.
Highly commended venues for each area will also be celebrated.
Pub and Bar Magazine runs the event, and its editor Tristan O’Hana said its aim was “simple”.
“We want to showcase how brilliant these businesses are and how valuable pubs and bars are to fabric of society across the whole of the UK.
“It has never been harder in hospitality. Whether it’s a countryside pub with rooms or a city centre bar showing live sport, these operations deserve widespread recognition and more customers – hopefully the National Pub & Bar Awards can help with both.”
The awards night will also crown the pub group of the year, bar group of the year and, ultimately, the overall national pub and bar of the year.
On top of that the 2025 event will launch the top 10 pubs and bars in the UK list, which has been voted for by hundreds of operators from across the country.
