When you think of the world’s best restaurants, you probably think of those that have acquired a Michelin Star. And while there are a few ‘best bars’ guides around, a new global bar guide called The Pinnacle Guide has been launched to become the new authority on the world’s best watering holes – and they’re seeking cocktail lovers to help them with their rankings.

Created by three drinks experts, The Pinnacle Guide will operate as a trustworthy system of recognition, aiming to champion the world’s best bars – no matter where they are – and offer them international recognition for their quality. 

A ranking system of 1, 2, or 3 Pins will be given to selected bars, with the first Pin being awarded at the end of this year. 

So where do you come in? As part of the launch, the guide is recruiting reviewers to head to their local bars and sample some cocktails, and the round is on them! 

Those interested can apply on The Pinnacle Guide’s website to be considered for the role of one of their reviewers, no matter how advanced your own mixology skills are. After filling out the online form, applicants will be interviewed, and if successful, trained. All you have to do is order two drinks – paid for by the guide – and submit feedback about what you thought of the bar. There will be criteria to evaluate, which have been created with input from the bar industry.

The key thing is anonymity — you absolutely cannot reveal your identity, so no bragging about this sweet, sweet setup.

Did you see that you can now have a pint at the ‘Banshees of Inisherin’ pub?
