The source
The directory starts with public bar listings and the ratings and review counts published with them.
The house record
How a bar enters the ranking
The order
The public bar ranking sorts by review count first, then rating, then name. We do not contact, inspect, vet, or independently verify a bar.
The house note
Short write-ups are automated from public listing signals, including descriptions, category, rating, and review count. They are not reviewer quotations.
Paid position / disclosed
Payment does not enter the public bar ranking. A bar can buy Featured Partner positioning in the separate partner section, where its card carries the “Featured Partner” label and featured entries appear first.
