Last night saw South Africa’s bar community celebrating their own at the annual Bartending Accolades and Recognition (BAR) Awards, held at the Westin Cape Town Hotel.

Organised by industry stalwarts Travis and Leigh Kuhn, the awards recognise exceptional achievements within the trade, from best bartender to best cocktail bar. Some 70 leading bartenders, bar owners, brand ambassadors and generally bar-savvy people were asked to vote (including Food24’s resident cocktail and spirits writer, Leah van Deventer).
