“Warehouse has seen a huge investment in Letterkenny and has just celebrated its first anniversary. To be recognised for our excellent standard of service, quality and investment is a huge honour for all our staff and team at Warehouse. The bar’s design is ahead of it’s time for Letterkenny and Donegal, so it is fantastic to be recognised for that.”

Warehouse Bar + Kitchen Manager Damien O’ Donnell added, “To be nominated in the best newcomer category is brilliant, we are only one year in business and it just shows the hard work and dedication of our staff.
