The awards recognise the best establishments, looking at various aspects that impact the customer experience.
This includes marketing, digital presence, design, service, style of offer, and investment.
The nominees now have over two months to trade off their achievements before the grand final on June 24.
At the final, all 256 nominees will gather at Big Penny Social in London to celebrate their success and find out who the county and regional winners will be.
Tristan O'Hana, editor of Pub and Bar magazine, which runs the event, said: "The aim of the National Pub and Bar Awards is simple.
"We want to showcase how brilliant these businesses are and how valuable pubs and bars are to the fabric of society across the whole of the UK.
"It has never been harder in hospitality.
"Whether it's a countryside pub with rooms or a city centre bar showing live sport, these operations deserve widespread recognition and more customers – hopefully the National Pub and Bar Awards can help with both."

On top of that, the 2025 event will launch the new Top 10 Pubs and Bars in the UK list, which has been voted for by hundreds of operators from around the country.
