This week Time Out gathered together the very best faces from the London Bar scene (and us!) and announced the winners of its inaugural London Bar awards, following an awards party at Rumpus Room.
The winners list was dominated by East London bars, including Original Sin in Stoke Newington which was awarded Best New Bar, Satan’s Whiskers in Bethnal Green which took home the Hippest Bar Award and White Lyan in Hoxton that won Most Creative Bar.
Hotel bars were another big winner, taking four of the seven awards. Having been nominated in four categories, the newly opened Punch Room at the London Edition took home two awards, winning both Bar of the Year and Most Stylish Bar, while Dandelyan were awarded Best Bar Team and Connaught Bar was named classiest bar.
The winners, picked by Time Out London’s Food and Drink Editors, were chosen from a list of nominees compiled by an exclusive panel of bar experts including Hannah Sharman-Cox, Founder of DrinkUp.London and former Head Bartender at The Artesian, Alex Kratena.
