As pub crawls go, it sounds like a good shout and thanks to last night’s Bar Of The Year Awards, finding the best places in the city to have a drink couldn’t be easier.

The swanky celebration took place last night at the Clayton Hotel and while the overall winner was Cask in Cork, there are plenty of venues celebrating here in Dublin today as well. In total, there were nine winners from the capital and without further ado, here they are:

City Bar Of The YearCafé En Seine, Dawson Street
