TWO hospitality venues in Paisley have reached the finals of a major awards ceremony.

The Keg Bar and Vienna's Nightclub in the town have both reached the final round of the 2023 Scottish Bar and Pub Awards.

The Keg which, is located on Gilmour Street has been shortlisted for the HI-SPIRITS Best Live Music Venue.

Meanwhile, Vienna's manager Stephen Adams has been nominated for HSPO Manager of the Year.

Susan Young, the event's organiser, said: “This year, a record number of votes were received from the public across a multitude of categories.

“The best of the best have now been named ranging from pubs that are dog friendly to cocktail bars that serve up fabulous drinks, from community pubs with stars behind the bars, to late-night venues.

“Customers voted and then mystery shoppers visited, with the last word going to the awards judges. It was certainly not an easy take due to the quality of all the finalists and many miles have been travelled.”

The winners will be revealed at an awards dinner on Tuesday, August 19 in Glasgow.
