Frequently asked questions

How are the best drinks bars pubs in Toronto chosen?

Each list is built from public Google data for real businesses serving Toronto. Ranking uses the star rating, how many customers left a review, how recent those reviews are, and how complete the listing is. A business marked Featured Partner has a paid listing with us and may hold the top spot; its rating and review count are still the real Google numbers.

How many drinks bars pubs are covered in Toronto?

23 businesses across 5 lists, averaging 4.5 stars. Every one is a real operating business serving Toronto, with a public Google review history.

What types of drinks bars pubs does this cover?

Breweries, Cafes, Juice bars, Pubs and sports bars. Each has its own ranked list.

Can a business pay to appear on these Toronto lists?

Yes. A business can buy a listing, including the top spot, and paid listings are marked Featured Partner. What it cannot buy is a better rating or more reviews: the star ratings and review counts shown are the real Google numbers either way.
