Apply for a Pin

Apply for a Pin

Bars of any size can submit information to The Pinnacle Guide towards assessment for suitability to be awarded with either a 1,2 or 3-Pin classification.

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).

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.

Apply for a pin for a chance to be evaluated and recognised for excellence in various categories.
