Be At One Milton Keynes named Best Bar of the Year in brand’s national challenge

The Milton Keynes branch has been named Best Bar of the Year at Be At One's annual Bartender Challenge, beating bars from across the UK to secure the title.

The award was announced during the brand's national final, held at Be At One Regent Street, where the very best bartending talent from across Be At One gathered to celebrate excellence in hospitality.

Led by General Manager Sam Milliner, Be At One Milton Keynes was celebrated for its outstanding performance, team culture and commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences throughout the year.

The Milton Keynes team had even more reason to celebrate, with bartender Joey receiving the inaugural Lifetime Legend Award, which recognises a team member who has made an exceptional long-term contribution to Be At One and its culture.
