The event is held annually, and was introduced to recognise the best bars, clubs and gig venues in the country.
The Opera House in Bournemouth received the award for best live entertainment venue.
The recently refurbished 1800 capacity venue beat off five finalists to claim the award. Opera House group entertainments manager Ester Gill said: "We re-opened the Opera House in June this year after a meticulous £4m refurbishment. To pick up this award is such a testament to the work put in by all of the team and the quality of entertainment experience the Opera House now delivers to the public and those audiences who appreciate live performances of all genres."
