After months of judging, interviewing and mystery shopper visits, the Scottish Bar & Pub Awards 2021 finalists have been revealed ahead of the ceremony on the 7th September at The Hilton Hotel, William Street, Glasgow.
The evening kicks off at 6.30 pm, and Bev Lyons is your compere for the evening with entertainment throughout dinner from Roberto Enzo.
There’s also an after party at The Radisson Red Sky Bar with Michael Kilkie and Jon Mancini, plus Guilty Pleasures.
We must also say a huge thank you to our sponsors.
