All the pubs have been included in the European Bar Guide, which aims “to share with you the greatest pubs ad bars in Europe”.
For a pub to qualify for inclusion on the list, officials must have verified the venue in person, with the bars on the list being recommended to the officials by public feedback.
The criteria for scoring that the guide uses includes choice/quality of drinks, style and decor, character, atmosphere, local life, amenities, events, and value for money.
Each category is given a score out of 10, before an overall score is awarded by the officials.
