Drinks are rated by Clover Clubs. 5 Full coupes being the best. This is ONLY for the drink aspect of a place as I believe the food and drinks in many locations are not always on the same level. I will always give a description with each place as to how they got their rating, and will occasionally add half glasses when appropriate.
DRINKS!
Measured by Clover Clubs… 
Here is a break down guide to my drink rating system:
*
5 Empty Coupes.
Not a good place. I hope to NEVER use this rating!
*
1 Full Clover Club.
NOT VERY GOOD. Bad service, Bad drinks. Just good enough however not to get 5 empty
*
2 Full Clover Clubs.
COULD BE BETTER. Things were not that good. Perhaps drinks were unbalanced. Cocktail list was inaccurate or not very imaginative. Bartenders were not on top of their game.
*
3 Full Clover Clubs.
GOOD. N0t great but certainly not bad. Service may be a little slow, drinks not quite perfect but still something good about this place and probably worth a visit.
