Apply for a Pin
Applications for The Pinnacle Guide opened on 10th November 2023, so bars of any size can submit information towards assessment to be awarded with either a 1,2 or 3-pin classification.
Bars across the seven launch countries (Australia, Dubai, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom and the United States) are now invited to submit their applications at www.thepinnacleguide.com for a chance to be evaluated and recognised for their excellence in various categories. The evaluation considers factors emphasising numerous aspects besides the quality of drinks, from the overall atmosphere to customer satisfaction and sustainability.
Assessment modules include front-of-house (processes, thoughtful touches), the drinks program (menu concept and coherence, ingredients, presentation), the venue look and feel (atmosphere, comfort, design), staff management (diversity, equity, inclusion), operations (efficiency, cleanliness, sustainability), and community (inclusiveness, responsible drinking).
Bars in countries besides the initial seven launch countries can still register their interest in being recognised, and this will impact where The Pinnacle Guide expands to next.
The first Pins were awarded early in 2024.
What you'll need to complete the form
- Full permission to apply for a pin on behalf of your bar.
- An in-depth understanding of all aspects of your bar's operation, including concept, design, staffing and back-of-house.
