Birmingham Establishments compete to be BEST BAR NONE 2009

Best Bar None

The Best Bar None scheme is a recognised scheme, supported by the Home Office, aimed at promoting reponsible management and operation of alcohol-licensed premises. The scheme encourages social responsibility among licensees by rewarding good management for discouraging binge-drinking and helping prevent alcohol related crime. This year’s Best Bar None Birmingham awards will be presented at a ceremony, sponsored by Bacardi Brown-Forman, at the International Convention Centre on Thursday, 10th September 2009.   Birmingham pubs, clubs, bars and hotels will be assessed on criteria such as door and security policies, first aid, how they deal with abusive customers and what systems they have in place to deal with alcohol related crime. As well as an overall winner – Best Bar None – there will be winners and finalists in seven categories:-  

• best city centre pub 
  
• best city centre 
  
• bar best suburban pub 
  
• best suburban bar 
  
• best nightclub best hotel bar 
  
• best independent venue    
  

Those venues achieving accreditation to the scheme will receive a Best Bar None certificate to display in the premises.   Bruce Ray, Director of External Affairs for Bacardi, said: “When Birmingham City Council and its partners approached us last year to be sponsors we were impressed with their commitment and passion towards their city and improving standards within the trade. We look forward to being part of another successful award event in 2009, rewarding those licensees who go ‘above and beyond’ in areas of responsible retailing.”
