Celebrating the best of Victoria’s pub and hotel industry.

From the people behind the bar to the teams in the kitchen, the venue leaders, the community champions and the pubs and hotels themselves — the AHA (Vic) State Awards for Excellence recognises the people and businesses raising the bar for Victorian hospitality.

Across 39 categories, we will celebrate exceptional service, outstanding venues, innovation, leadership and the experiences that keep Victoria’s pub industry thriving.

The 2027 winners will be revealed at a spectacular gala celebration at Melbourne’s Iconic Palladium at Crown on Monday, 24 May 2027
