Walsall 2010
What is Best Bar None?
The Best Bar None is an awards scheme for licensed premises, currently running in over 80 locations across the UK.
Best Bar None schemes provide an incentive for the operators of licensed premises to improve their standards of operation to the level of a commonly agreed national benchmark.
Best Bar None provides a much needed opportunity for licensees to demonstrate to official agencies just how well they manage their own businesses.

All the winners and other premises who received accreditation received a plaque and certificate for public display and permission to use the logo in promotional material for a year. Best Bar None is a nationally recognised standard of excellence endorsed by the Home Office and is seen as evidence that a venue is committed to customer care and safety.
Walsall's leading pubs, bars, clubs and nightclubs who are committed to improving safety for customers were unveiled at an awards ceremony on 12th October 2010.
All 23 licensed premises who went forward to the finals of the Best Bar None awards at Walsall Football Club had already met a series of key criteria covering various aspects of their operation including their policies on security, drunkenness, drugs, thefts/burglary, disorder, staff training, exit strategies in the event of emergencies and availability of taxi or public transport information.
Councillor Adrian Andrew, Walsall Council cabinet member for regeneration, said: "First of all I would like to say well done to all the winners and runners up.
"These awards are all about helping people to feel confident about the places they are visiting when on a night out by showing that they are operating responsibly and that they are committed to helping reduce alcohol related crime across the borough."
Latest statistics show anti-social behaviour in Walsall is continuing to fall with agencies continuing to work hard together to drive the figures down even further.
Figures released by Safer Walsall Partnership show the total number of anti-social behaviour(ASB) incidents fell from 17,503 between September 2008 and September 2009 to 14,069 between September 2009 and September 2010. This is a drop of 19.6 per cent equating to 3,434 fewer victims.
At the awards night well over £1500 was also raised for Walsall Hospice, the Mayor’s charity this year.
