Blink and you would pass it but it’s a sight to behold
While a Cork location was crowned Bar of the Year, Dublin spots cleaned up at the 2023 award ceremony.
Last night (Monday, 21 August) the Clayton Hotel on Burlington Road hosted the Bar of the Year 2023 awards ceremony that celebrates the very best bars all over the country.
And while a Dublin bar did not take home the top Bar of the Year Award for 2023 as it did last year with Bar 1661 (that honour this year went to newcomer Paladar, which is based in Cork), nevertheless there were a lot of fine establishments in the capital winning gold, silver and bronze in other categories.
In fact, some Dublin bars took home multiple awards in different categories.
