CLASS Bar Awards 2010 Results

Sunday, and the CLASS bar awards, brought London Cocktail Week to a close.

Tony C in action at Best New Bar, 60 Colebrooke Row

For those in the industry who tried to get to every event, it was no doubt a long week, but talking to people at RumFest on Sunday before the CLASS Awards, everyone seemed very up for it, and the awards are without doubt one of the highlights of the bar industry calendar.

And so without further preamble, here are the winners.
