Palace takes crown after being named best in all of Scotland

A Wetherspoon pub in Glasgow has been named ‘best pub/bar’ in Scotland at a national awards scheme ceremony.

Best Bar None Scotland National Awards 2023–24 voted The Crystal Palace (Glasgow) to be the winner of its ‘best pub/bar’ title at the annual awards event held in Stirling.

Pub manager Graeme Goodwin said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be recognised at these awards.

 “The much-coveted accolade is testament to the hard work and dedication which the team puts in, day in and day out, to ensure that The Crystal Palace is a safe and welcoming pub.”

The annual awards celebrate the hard-earned success in making Scotland’s licensed venues stand out as examples of safety, care and leaders in good practice.

The Crystal Palace demonstrated through the assessment process that it is the best pub/bar in Scotland.

Best Bar None Scotland’s chairman, Jack Gemmell, said: “The quality of entries for this year’s awards shows that, despite the economic headwinds which the sector is experiencing, there is still a real passion for providing a safe, fun and welcoming place to socialise.

“It’s testament to the winners that they have gone above and beyond to promote responsible consumption and look after their customers and communities.”
