How to vote in the Scottish Bar & Pub Awards
The prestigious awards also look to celebrate rising stars in the industry as well as community-led initiatives and boost those that are championing the late-night economy.
It doesn't matter whether you're staff, an employee or a customer, you can now submit your favourite venue for an award.
To enter your local pub or bar into this year’s awards, all you need to do to cast your nomination by voting online via the Scottish Bar & Pub Awards website.
You need to do this by June 30 2022 which is when the public vote closes.
The ten competitors with the most votes from each category will then receive a visit from ‘mystery shoppers’ before the finalists are revealed.
What follows is a closed-doors judging process with the winners being announced at a prestigious award ceremony.
The ceremony will take place on August 30 2022 at The Hilton Hotel, in Glasgow.
