Scoring System
The scoring system we used to
categorize bars has evolved into one which we think is fair, and above all, objective. For
this reason it may seem overly complicated or scientific, but to show that we've tried to
cover all angles, here it is explained.
There are 6 categories, as follows: Ambience, Beer,
Clientel, Staff, Wines/Spirits, and Price. In addition, Ambience is an average of worst
and best. Each category gets a mark out of ten, except that Wines/Spirits mark is halved.
The total best mark, is therefore 55. Each category is explained as follows:

Price:
To get a score for price, we take the price of a pint (50cl)
of the cheapest beer (usually lager), and apply the following formula: score = 10 -
((FFprice - 10) / 5) (where FFprice = price in € x 6.55957)
Basically, this gives a sliding scale, where €1.52 or less a pint = 10
points, and €9.15 or more a pint = 0 points.
