Founded by industry veterans Hannah Sharman-Cox, Siobhan Payne, and Dan Dove, the guide utilizes a rigorous self-application process followed by anonymous in-bar reviews. It aims to provide a transparent and inclusive benchmark for the global drinks community, recognizing venues that excel in hospitality, drinks programming, and social impact.
