BAR OF THE YEAR

Sponsored by Procurio

Our top bar of 2009 had to be an outlet that had shown clear positive growth this year —through a variety of means, including but not limited to profit.

We asked to hear about staff progression, menu development, innovative measures to promote cost-efficiency during the downturn, successful promotions and team development to help the judges make their choice.

Three nominations made the shortlist:

• Trader Vic's Mai Tai Lounge, The Walk

• Belgian Beer Café, Crowne Plaza Dubai Festival City

• Left Bank, Souk Al Bahar

Our winning bar’s ongoing promotions and marked attention to menu development has seen it remain busy and successful during a difficult period.

Staff were praised for their team spirit and commitment to the brand and its clientele — attributes built up thanks to strong training and incentive programmes that have been put in place.

The winner of Caterer’s Bar of the Year Award in 2009 is…

• Left Bank, Souk Al Bahar
