ANNOUNCING THE PINNACLE GUIDE’S FIRST PINs To be awarded a PIN, a bar must prove it is doing Excellent, Outstanding, or Exceptional work on both sides of the bar. Hundreds of bars self-nominated themselves for the first announcement of PINs. Of these, only a small portion made it through to the second stage of in-bar Anonymous Reviews, and an even smaller portion qualified for a PIN. Our 1 PIN bars include Excellent venues in Belfast, Birmingham, Dubai, Isle of Man, London, Manchester, Minneapolis, New York City, Perthshire, and Sydney. Our 2 PIN bars include Outstanding venues in Barcelona, Edinburgh, Los Angeles, London, Louisville, Oaxaca, San Francisco, and Singapore. To gain 3 PIN status, a bar must be Exceptional in its written application and provide Exceptional service during the Anonymous Reviews. In this first round of applications, we have had bars that have demonstrated 3 PIN status in one but not yet both of these aspects - hence, there is not a 3 PIN bar anywhere in the world. Yet. Could you be the first? Dan Dove | Hannah Sharman-Cox | Siobhan Payne | Global Bartending | HANDS London Consultancy

Applications for bars to be considered for a PIN are NOW OPEN. If you think your bar should be considered as one of the first venues to receive an accolade from The Pinnacle Guide, we now invite you to start your application process. The first step is to create a profile for your venue on thepinnacleguide.com - you’ll then be able to complete the six assessment modules. The application form is designed to take significant consideration from those seeking to be awarded 1, 2 or 3 PIN status and does not have to be completed in one sitting. Whilst the ultimate objective is for The Pinnacle Guide to be a truly global recognition system, the first wave of assessments will be happening in the launch countries of Australia, Dubai, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom and United States - but those in other countries can to register interest, which will impact where The Pinnacle Guide expands. Good luck! www.thepinnacleguide.com Dan Dove | Hannah Sharman-Cox | Siobhan Payne | Global Bartending
