Being crowned Australian Bar of the Year is a big deal. So what do the previous winners have in common? It’s all the little things that combine to make something great. From the attention to detail, the service, the lighting, the music to the atmosphere, the staff and the drinks.
Bar Awards
The Bartender Magazine Australian Bar Awards is now in its 17th year.
Where do you go for a drink on your night off? Or where do you head after the final glass is polished and the doors are locked up for the night? Where do you go to get a cold beer, good booze and even better chat?
So what makes a whisk(e)y bar great? These bars have an epic selection of whiskies, highlight whiskies in their cocktail menu and have staff who are passionate on the subject of whisky.
