Magnificent Seven vie for LCN Barperson of Year gong

Magnificent Seven vie for LCN Barperson of Year gong

Who doesn’t appreciate a great barperson; the maker of a supreme cocktail or just someone to share a bit of craic with while you settle into a well deserved post work pint.

This year a Magnificent Seven are battling it out to lift the coveted LCN Barperson of the Year title for 2022.

A gala dinner and awards show at Belfast’s Europa Hotel on September 30 will transport guests back to the Roaring Twenties with a Great Gatsby inspired theme and entertainment, and for the once the drinks are being served to out hospitality hotshots rather than by them.

Sponsored by Proximo, the finalists this year are:

  • Felipe Sanchez-Hutchinson , Ava Wine Bar
  • Colleen Bailey, Margot
  • Georgie Brooks, White’s Garden#
  • Siobhan McKenna , White’s Tavern
  • Martin Jeffrey, The Ponderosa
  • Rory Brady, Clayton Hotel, Belfast
  • Joe Mehaffy,- The Spaniard

On the night itself think flapper girls, paperboy caps, Leonardo DiCaprio in a well fitted tux… or for the slightly older among among us Robert Redford in pristine three-piece cream linen suit with his blonde hair Brylcreemed into place.

All the winners are being crowned at the LCN Awards gala dinner on September 30, and with tickets for the big night almost gone it would be well advised to snap yours up now and be sure to raise a glass to those who always ensure it’s never empty.
