Kinda Decent Bars: A Ranking That Shows Its Work

kindadecent.org Observed source

Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A global bar ranking that combines reviews, awards, press, and a Social Vibes model into one publicly explained score.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

The ranking combines six signal groups into a fixed score: Google reviews account for 25%, while awards, press, and the site's Social Vibes model supply the remaining weight. Venue entries include short editorial descriptions alongside neighborhoods, opening details, booking constraints, review counts, and links when available. The page reports coverage across 134 cities and 49 countries, and offers a separate weighting playground that is explicitly kept independent from the public list.
