Pig’s Lane was ‘Highly Commended’ in the ‘Best Cocktail Experience’ category at the prestigious 2025 Food and Wine Restaurant of the Year Awards, held recently at the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin in association with Rémy Martin.

The awards, a highlight of Ireland’s culinary calendar, celebrate the very best in restaurants, cafés, wine experiences, and cocktail programmes nationwide.
The award placed the Killarney venue in second place on the night, behind one of Ireland’s most accoladed bars, Bar 1661 in Dublin.
The recognition comes hot on the heels of a string of accolades for Pig’s Lane this year, including winning Best Designed Bar at the 2025 Bar of the Year Awards and receiving 1 Pin from the prestigious Pinnacle Guide, an honour shared by only two other Irish bars including, Bar 1661 and The Sidecar at The Westbury Hotel.
Founder of Pig’s Lane, Gemma Ring said: ‘It’s an honour to receive this recognition from Food and Wine Ireland. The awards celebrate the very best of Irish food and drink so to be recognised at this level and among the countries finest bars is incredibly special for us.”
