Three venues in Inverness have been chosen as finalists in the Best Bar None Scotland National Awards 2015-16 to find the best licensed premises in the country.

The prestigious National Awards rewards the best of the 400 plus Best Bar None accredited venues in Scotland.

The Inverness finalists are The Exchange, Johnny Foxes and the Den, and the Arts Bar at the Mercure Hotel.

The Best Bar None scheme, which is sponsored by Diageo, Molson Coors, Heineken, Tennent’s, Maxxium and Chivas Brothers, is an integral part of the Safer Areas Initiatives throughout Scotland. It has been created through the partnership working of Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, suppliers, The Scottish Licensed Trade Association, the security industry and Scottish Government to celebrate and reward licensed premises in looking after their customers and helping to improve Scotland’s night time economy.

Malcolm Raeburn, Inverness BID, Best Bar None Coordinator said: “The Best Bar None National Awards is one of the most important dates in the Scottish licensed trade calendar. I am delighted that three venues in Inverness have been chosen as finalists. This is real recognition of the effort that owners and managers of local pubs, clubs and hotels put into ensuring best practice at their venues for safety, responsibility, staff training and concern for the community.

“Anyone looking for a good, safe night out in Inverness should look out for a Best Bar None venue knowing it has been through a rigorous accreditation process and demonstrated high standards across a range of important criteria.
