The Irish Bar & Cocktail Awards was developed to honour the artistry, innovation and soul of Ireland’s renowned bar culture. We celebrate the teams and venues who stir more than just spirits - those who craft connection, elevate experience and shape the ever evolving story of Irish hospitality. Our mission is to spotlight the unsung heroes and emerging talents who bring depth, creativity and care to every pour.
We celebrate outstanding venues and individuals who embody excellence, innovation and heartfelt service - those who elevate every pour into an experience. Through a trusted and transparent awards programme we spotlight the passion, creativity and dedication that makes Ireland’s bar scene world famous. Our mission is to inspire continued excellence and support local talent - one cocktail, one story, one celebration at a time.
