A massive win for a proper dedicated team. Keeping Mid-Louth firmly on the national culinary tracking map.
There are huge celebrations across Collon and the surrounding outskirts of **Ardee** this morning, following the announcement that **No. 3 Wine Bar & Restaurant** has officially captured the title of *Best Wine Bar in Leinster* at the high-profile Irish Bar & Cocktail Awards gala. The brilliant local establishment, which has earned a glowing reputation for its great food, fine drinks, and unbeatable atmosphere, walked away with the ultimate provincial prize against serious competition from across the county lines.
Martina and Wayne Fitzpatrick’s Vision Realized
A destination crafted specifically for lovers of contemporary dining and global wine tracking grids.
No. 3 was originally founded by Martina and Wayne Fitzpatrick, who set out to build a welcoming space that seamlessly blends classic, contemporary, and innovative dishes with a carefully curated drinks cellar. Their extensive wine list maps out a flavor journey that features exceptional bottles tracking from every single corner of the globe, making it a proper go-to spot for foodies and casual diners alike.
🏆 Fitzy Steps Up for a Magical Spotlight Moment
With Wayne away during the grand ceremony, the crucial job of collecting the trophy fell into very familiar hands. Tina’s husband Fitzy—celebrated by regulars as the restaurant’s resident “fixer-of-all-things”—stepped right up to accept the provincial title on behalf of the team.
Most locals will know Fitzy incredibly well from his relentless, behind-the-scenes work keeping the restaurant operating flawlessly week in, week out. It was absolutely brilliant to see one of the team’s unsung heroes getting his well-deserved moment in the bright spotlight before the national cameras.
