Wikitravel:Bar listings

Bar and nightclub listings should be in the following format:

  • Name of Bar, Address (extra directions if necessary), phone number (email, fax, other contact if possible), [1]. Days and times open. One to three sentences about the drinks, service, atmosphere, view, specialties, music, what have you. $beerprice draft/bottle beers, $cocktailprice cocktails (extra price or special info).

Here's the Wiki markup to make that happen:

*'''Name of Bar''', Address (''extra directions if necessary''), phone number (''email, fax, other contact if possible''), [http://www.bar.example.com/]. Days and times open. One to three sentences about the drinks, service, atmosphere, view, specialties, music, what have you. $beerprice draft/bottle beers, $cocktailprice cocktails (''extra price or special info'').

Some things to note:

  • The $beerprice and $cocktailprice are for rough comparison with other bars (it can help to know that a beer is $1 at the honky tonk in the rough part of town and $14 at the snooty brewpub in the burbs). Use the rough price of well drinks (aka "house pours") for cocktails. Don't sweat the details too much.
  • Use more local drinks (glass of red wine, sake, or whatever) if beer and cocktails don't make sense for the locale.
  • Addresses should just be the street and number, not a full postal address. If the city is different (for example, in a suburb), add that, too.
  • Phone numbers should be in international format with the non-local calling part in italics (like "+1 514 555-1000").
  • Days should be abbreviated (M Tu W Th F Sa Su), times should be AM and PM.
  • Prices should be in the local currency.
  • URLs should point to the official Web site for the bar or club and conform to Wikitravel guidelines for external links. If there's no official Web site, just leave that part out.

Also note the <drink> templates now available.
