In two months time, representatives from the winning venues including Flight Club in Glasgow, The Tippling House in Aberdeen and the Tullie Inn in West Dunbartonshire will make their way to London to learn who has secured the title of Regional Winner.
The awards night on Wednesday, June 26 will also crown the Pub Group of the Year, Bar Group of the Year and the overall National Pub & Bar of the Year.
Tristan O’Hana, editor of Pub & Bar magazine which runs the event, said: “The fact that we had record entries for the 2024 National Pub & Bar Awards tells us two things.
“One is how highly the industry regards these accolades, which is fantastic.
“But, also, it shows that more operators are in need of really 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.”
