The list is expertly compiled by the bar industry. Hundreds of bartenders, managers and drinks experts from across the UK have been polled to curate the list, which has something in it for every type of drinker.
The awards also include Bar Team of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, One to Watch, and Sustainability Award.
