About Our May Pub Rankings
Our rankings for May are calculated using precise 3D raytracing that accounts for building shadows, terrain, and the sun's position throughout the day. We weight sun exposure during peak drinking hours more heavily, and factor in the quality and size of outdoor areas.
Beer gardens and rooftops receive the highest area multipliers, reflecting the superior outdoor drinking experience they offer. Pavement seating, while still enjoyable, scores lower due to proximity to traffic and pedestrians.
