We are thrilled to share the news that your local bar, O'Dwyers of Kilmacud, Stillorgan, has received the National Award for Training & Development from the Restaurant Association of Ireland.
When we received the nomination a few months ago, we never imagined that we would be sharing the podium with the best of the best hospitality professionals in Ireland,at the Ballsbridge Clayton Hotel—receiving recognition for what lies at the heart of our business: people.
Hospitality is Changing. So Are We. With the hospitality industry facing rising costs, changing consumer habits, and a growing preference for quality and affordable dining, it's more important than ever to offer more than just a meal. At O'Dwyers and Scott's, we are committed to offering a complete experience—from the atmosphere and surroundings to the quality of our food and drinks and, above all, the service. It All Starts with Our People.
Today, the industry is more specialised than ever. From baristas and mixologists to sommeliers and chefs—every team member plays a vital role. That's why we invest deeply in training, development, and a culture of growth. A well-trained, motivated team doesn't just deliver better service; they elevate the entire guest experience.
A Shared Success This award is a tribute to every member of our team—those who show up every day with pride, passion, and dedication. We are grateful to our staff, our loyal guests, and the Restaurant Association of Ireland for this incredible honor.
