• Selection – taps count, bottle menu, food/snack menu, merch selection and serving options (flights, half-pours, growlers, crowlers)
• Atmosphere – seating availability, quality of furniture and decorations, outdoor seating, dog friendly and parking
• Activities – video and board games, darts, pool, shuffleboard, televisions, events and live music
