Nightclub & Bar Media Group has selected winners across 18 different categories for North America’s premier industry awards program, 2018 Nightclub & Bar Awards, which identifies individuals and venues from across the nation that showcase extraordinary expertise and innovation in bar, nightclub and lounge concepts that push the industry to evolve while setting new trends.

“The change in the industry has been remarkable, and it is wonderful to see the dedication and commitment all of the venues have to creating an exceptional hospitality experience, which is exactly what the Nightclub & Bar Awards are all about. This year’s awards program was very special because we had our first back-to-back winner for the Best Dance Club of the Year, which was Love+Propaganda in San Francisco.”
