The UK’s pubs and bars come in all shapes and sizes. Such is the variety within Britain’s drinking scene that it’s tough to really rank the country’s watering holes: you’ve got your all-time great boozers, sure, but there are also the ones with spectacular gardens and views, glitzy innovators, quiet charmers and, obvs, everyone’s individual, highly subjective faves.
On the hunt for the latest award-winning UK pubs? You’ve come to the right place. Today (April 8) the National Pub and Bar Awards has announced the victors of its 2024 edition, naming 94 ‘county winners’ across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Those winning pubs will go on to compete for regional titles at an awards ceremony on June 26, as well as for prestigious prizes like ‘national pub and bar of the year’ and ‘pub group of the year’.
Wondering if your local made the cut? Without further ado, here are all the ‘county winners’ of the National Pub and Bar Awards 2024.
