Milton’s Olde Blind Dog Irish Pub has been named the 2015 Irish Pub of the Year.

The Irish Pubs Global Federation on Feb. 27 presented the honor to the restaurant during its Gala Awards Dinner in Dublin. The dinner was held at the Federation’s Gathering 2015 Event, a three-day convention where pub owners, managers, suppliers and others experts gather and share ideas on various aspects of the industry.

The award is given to an Irish bar who, in the opinion of the judges, “epitomises the very essence of what makes an Irish Pub the best in its class, from design to customer service,” according to the Federation’s website.

Olde Blind Dog has two locations: 12650 Crabapple Road in Milton and 705 Town Boulevard in Brookhaven. The restaurant features upscale pub food coupled with beers and spirits.

The Milton location opened in 2009, and nearly all of its decor was imported from Europe, according to an article in the LA Times.
