Last year saw 99 Birmingham venues accredited to the Best Bar None scheme’s standard, more than any other participating Local Authority, and this year organisers are hoping to top 150. Sponsored by Bacardi and run by Birmingham City Council, in partnership with West Midlands Police and the West Midlands Fire Service, the scheme, now in its third year, rewards good management from licensees in discouraging binge-drinking and helping to prevent alcohol related crime. Birmingham pubs, clubs and bars are 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 for seven categories: best city centre pub; best suburban pub; best city centre bar; best suburban bar; best nightclub; best hotel bar; best independent venue. Those places that are accredited to the scheme – even if they don’t win an award – will receive a Best Bar None plaque to display in their premises. |

The aim of the initiative is to promote responsible management of licensed premises.
The scheme is a joint effort by Conwy County Borough Council and Denbighshire County Council to recognise good practice within the licensing industry in the hope that more premises will aspire to become accredited.
Accredited premises ensure a safe and enjoyable place for a night out, which is vital to the economic growth and sustainability of the region. Best Bar None aims to reward venues that are well managed and take customer safety
seriously.
Thirty premises applied to the scheme with eighteen successfully achieving accreditation. |
