As a discerning bar industry reader, you are used to the highest standards of journalism from BarLifeUK.

However on this occasion, we pray forgiveness for taking a walk on the ‘Fox News wild side’ in an effort to bring you this story from the sweaty confines of Notting Hill’s Portobello Star in time for our Monday morning BarBulletin.

The 2010 Alternative Bar Awards, conceived and hosted by Jake Burger and Tim Stones, took place about two hours and a really expensive taxi ride ago. So while these results are super-fresh, they are also subject to spelling mistakes, miss-heard names and general sloppiness courtesy of the Star’s intimate relationship with Jagermeister.

Congratulations to the winners from BarLifeUK – Next year we hope to give Tom Sandham from Dwink a run for his money in the ‘Least Influential’ category.
