How this page is measured

A record is a single business location in our database. A new record is one that entered our newly opened businesses section in the last 30 days — dated by when it reached us, not by an opening date. Scope: bars, pubs, cocktail, wine, sports and lounge bars, tapas bars and nightclubs.
