How we rank pubs

Pubs in Geelong are ordered by a weighted rating: (v / (v + 30)) × rating + (30 / (v + 30)) × 4.29, where v is the venue's number of Google reviews and 4.29 is the average rating of the 22 venues ranked here. This stops a perfect score from a handful of reviews outranking a slightly lower score from hundreds. A venue needs at least 10 Google reviews to be ranked. 1 listed venue has fewer and is not ranked. Ratings and review counts are read from our venue data each time this page is generated, so the order moves when they change.
