The Best Bar None Awards took place at the Eco-Power Stadium, recognising the pubs, bars, clubs and licensed venues going the extra mile to keep customers safe, raise standards and create a great night out in Doncaster.
Funded by South Yorkshire Police and Doncaster Council, the scheme highlights the strong partnership behind Doncaster’s evening and night-time economy and the shared ambition to support well-run, responsible venues.
Best Bar None is a nationally recognised scheme that rewards licensed premises for excellence in areas including safety, customer care, staff training and venue management.
The Doncaster programme was delivered by Urban Spark, the Yorkshire-based place management consultancy supporting towns and cities to build safer, stronger and more successful hospitality and nightlife sectors.
The awards are also a chance to celebrate the role hospitality plays in boosting Doncaster, bringing people into the city centre, supporting local jobs and helping build pride and confidence in the city after dark.
Elizabeth Murphy of Urban Spark said: “Best Bar None is all about recognising the venues that are doing things properly and helping raise the bar across Doncaster.
"There is some fantastic work happening right across the City's hospitality sector, and these awards are a chance to celebrate the businesses and teams making a real difference.
"Doncaster has a lot to be proud of, and it is great to see partners backing a scheme that supports safer nights out and stronger venues.”
