The National DRiNK Awards 2024 ended with a bang at MGM Shanghai West Bund on December 16.
Celebrities of the bar world, cheers, confetti…We have triumphed again with yet another successful pinnacle of DRiNK Awards tonight.
We won’t lie – this triumph comes with mixed feelings. Our industry is going through a tough patch and DRiNK, being part of the ecosystem, has also been affected. The task of pulling off the grand event tonight was not an easy one, and we’re very proud we made it happen. And we couldn’t have done it without the support of our sponsors and MGM Shanghai West Bund, our host hotel.
But at the same time, we’re uncertain about the future of the most beloved bar industry awards in China. What we can promise is that we’ll do everything we can to keep the show going on next year – just watch this space for updates.
Now, let’s make a toast to all the national winners this year! Our industry is one big family. Stay strong, stay united and look to the future!
