The Australian bar awards will once again be held at the Hilton Ballroom on Sydney’s George Street, on the first night of Sydney BarShow 08, (Wednesday, 17 September). Guests will be treated to a pre-dinner cocktail party followed by a three-course dinner and then onto the official after-party that will carry the celebration into the wee hours of the morning.

Since its inception in 2000, the bar awards have become the industry’s glitziest night, with more than 700 bar professionals stepping out from behind the bar to don their finest threads and celebrate the achievements and hard work of the last year. Make sure you secure your tickets early for this year’s awards as they sell out fast and the night is always a blast.
