Last Tuesday 10th of October, the 2017 Irish Pubs Global Awards winners were announced at a ceremony that took place in the The Round Room at The Mansion House in Dublin.
Pubs across Ireland and around the world were acknowledge in a series of categories that celebrated the different elements that make an Irish pub great: drinks, food and personalities were some of the features recognised on the night.
The Irish Pubs Global Federation, the organisation who organised and awarded the accolades, works to “create, connect and support a global community of Irish hospitality owners, managers and their suppliers.”
