Bushpig Backpackers won the Innovation Award, Liquid Silk emerged winner of the Outstanding Service award while Mythos Greek Taverna received the People’s Choice Award.

“The awards are meant to encourage the bars and bartenders to go an extra mile and outdo themselves not only during cocktail week but in their daily work. These three bars won because of their ingenuity in creating their special edition cocktail week menus and great customer service in their outlets,” said Rhona Namanya, Brand Manager Uganda Waragi.

Every year, under the Master Bar Academy (MBA), Uganda Breweries organises training for bartenders and bar owners aimed at up-skilling them in the bar trade. This global initiative by Diageo Plc, the world’s largest spirits producer has trained 37,751 bartenders in 14 African countries on delivering professional service that heightens their guests’ experiences and maximises their potential.

To lighten things up, the audience received some great entertainment from The Mith and Nutty Neithan who crowned the event.
