More information about Best Bar None:

Best Bar None accredited venues have been assessed for their commitment to excellence in safety, customer service, and responsible alcohol management practices.

When you visit a Best Bar None venue, you can relax and have a great time knowing you’re in good hands.

Supported by the Home Office, the hospitality and drinks industries, the comprehensive accreditation assesses against four themes:

• Venue management

• Staff training and care

• Customer safety and welfare

• Customer service and community

Best Bar None helps customers to identify well-run pubs, bars, clubs and other businesses that serve alcohol.

Supported by the Home Office, the drinks and hospitality industries, the accreditation assesses against four themes:

• Venue management: assesses security measures and steps taken to reduce noise, litter and other effects the business may have

• Staff training and care: considers how staff are supported by the business to perform their role, develop and grow, and to protect their wellbeing

• Customer safety and welfare: reviews how well the venue takes care of its customers including preventing alcohol being sold to those under 18

• Customer service and community: recognises that businesses work hard to provide a warm welcome to their customers and the communities they are part of.
  

Accreditation lasts for a year, and the assessment is regularly updated to ensure current priorities such as the safety of women and girls are included.

Every accredited business receives a personalised report with advice and ideas about how to provide an even safer and more welcoming place for customers to have fun and socialise.
