The 2024/25 Best Bar None scheme, which has once again highlighted the excellence of our local hospitality venues, came to a fitting close with the Best Bar None Sheffield Awards at Sheffield City Hall on Tuesday 25 February 2025. 

A total of 42 venues were accredited through the government backed scheme which celebrates responsible licencing and safer socialising.

In total, 11 venues received ‘best’ accolades across 14 categories with awards presented by the Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Councillor Jayne Dunn, and other key figures from the night time economy in Sheffield.  

Sheffield BID leads on the Best Bar None Sheffield scheme with Sheffield Council and South Yorkshire Police.   

Speaking at the conclusion of the Best Bar None Sheffield 2024/25 scheme Diane Jarvis, Head of Business Operations at Sheffield BID, said: 

“I would like to extend my congratulations to all the award winners for this year’s scheme in Sheffield, but also to the 42 businesses which took part in Best Bar None Sheffield 2024/25.   

“A better connected and supportive night time economy, one which truly looks after and delivers for its customers, is one that will attract more people into the city centre. It’s key that this collective approach is maintained and developed, to ensure we deliver a safe and welcoming environment.”

Following a four-year break, Sheffield’s Best Bar None scheme was relaunched in 2023 with 26 venues achieving accreditation through the 2023/24 programme.   

The 42 venues that achieved accreditation via the 2024/25 scheme represents a 60% uplift in venue participation year on year.   

Diane added: “We are looking for more licensed businesses to get involved in the 2025/26 programme and help to make Sheffield a showcase for the Best Bar None national scheme.”
