The Pinnacle Guide is a global recognition system for the world's best cocktail bars, awarding 1, 2, or 3 PINs based on excellence, outstanding quality, and polished service. 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.
