The search and the street map need JavaScript. The lists of countries and towns below work without it.

    The register, drawn from its own points: each square spans 2.4 degrees of longitude and is inked by the number of entries in it.

    The street map is drawn by MapLibre from OpenFreeMap tiles (© OpenMapTiles, data © OpenStreetMap contributors). It loads when you open it or when a list arrives.

    Three ways in

    1. Near me

      One press. The page sorts the register by straight-line distance from your position and lists the nearest hundred within 60 km, with the distance to each.

    2. By town

      Type a town and pick it from the matches. The list is every entry around the middle of that town, including those mapped without an address.

    3. By name

      Choose a country and type a name. The page reads that country’s list of names and shows the matches in order of the alphabet.

    By country

    Bars and pubs by country

    134 countries hold at least one named entry. Each page gives the figures, a drawn map, the towns with the most entries and the first 60 entries by name.

    By town

    Towns with a page of their own

    The 33 towns whose name appears in 40 or more addresses, most first. Every other town with 3 or more is in the desk.

    Coverage

    What this edition holds, and what it does not

    OpenStreetMap draws 216 country areas. This edition holds the 138 that were harvested in full: 134 with at least one named bar or pub, and 4 whose answer was complete and empty (Nauru, Pitcairn Islands, Saudi Arabia, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands). The other 78 were not reached before the harvest stopped and are absent, not empty: Afghanistan, Albania, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Barbados, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Chad, China, Czechia, East Timor, El Salvador, Eswatini, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kosovo, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Samoa, San Marino, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Spain, Suriname, Syria, São Tomé and Príncipe, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Tokelau, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Turks and Caicos Islands, Tuvalu, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Vatican City, Venezuela, Vietnam, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

    14 of those absent areas were counted before the harvest, one query each: together they hold 15,442 named bars and pubs that are not in this edition. The other 64 absent areas were never counted, so no figure on this page estimates them. A later harvest, one gentle query at a time, is what fills them.

    A reader in the United States or Britain finds nothing near them here yet. For bars in four American cities, the city books carry curated lists, each entry written by hand: New York (33), Los Angeles (12), Miami (18), Milwaukee (12).

    The register

    What this register is

    Bars is a register of bars and pubs: the places that carry a name and the tag amenity=bar or amenity=pub in OpenStreetMap, the map of the world that volunteers draw and anyone may use. On 28 September 2026 the harvest returned 65,220 such objects. A venue that the map holds twice, as a point and as a building outline with the same name, is one entry, which leaves 63,468: 42,873 bars and 20,595 pubs.

    The two kinds are kept apart because OpenStreetMap keeps them apart. A bar, in its mappers’ usage, serves drinks, often late and often with music, and one does not expect a meal. A pub is a public house: a place to sit, usually with food. The tag is the mapper’s judgement, and the register repeats it without correcting it.

    How to read an entry

    An entry shows a name, a kind, and an address where one was tagged; where none was, it shows the coordinates instead. Opening hours are printed exactly as tagged, in OpenStreetMap’s notation: Mo-Th 16:00-23:00; Fr,Sa 16:00-01:00 reads Monday to Thursday four until eleven, Friday and Saturday four until one. They are the mapper’s record, not the venue’s promise. Every entry links to its OpenStreetMap object, and to the venue’s own website when one is tagged.

    How complete it is

    The register counts what has been mapped, not what exists. Hungary has the most entries, 5,479, then South Korea with 4,167 and Greece with 3,308; the order reflects where mappers are many as much as where bars are. 11,973 of the 63,468 entries carry opening hours, 6,764 a website and 18,878 a street. Nothing is rated, reviewed or recommended, and no venue can pay to appear or to appear first.

    Corrections

    If a name is wrong, a pub has closed or one is missing, the correction is made in OpenStreetMap, by anyone, and the next harvest brings it here. The method page gives the query, the dates, the rule that turns map objects into venues, and the limits.

    Method

    What is read, what is worked out, and what is kept.

    The source

    Every entry is an OpenStreetMap object tagged amenity=bar or amenity=pub with a name, read through the public Overpass API one country at a time between 2026-09-28 17:07:06 and 2026-09-28 17:59:21 UTC. The data is © OpenStreetMap contributors under the ODbL 1.0, and this register is offered under the same licence.

    What the page fetches

    Only this register’s own JSON files from labs.llc (bars/data/: an index, a list of towns, and per country its names, its towns and 1,200 entries to a file), and, once the street map opens, the map tiles, fonts and style from OpenFreeMap (tiles.openfreemap.org). Distances, the town lists and the name search are worked out in your browser. Nothing is fetched from OpenStreetMap while you read.

    What is kept, and what is sent

    Your position (Near me) is read only when you press, used inside the page to sort the list and mark the map, and never written into the address or sent to labs.llc. The country, town, name and kind you choose are written into the address after #, so a search can be linked to; the part after # is not sent to any server. labs.llc counts page views and the first use of a tool with Google Analytics 4 (the edition and the page path, no position, no search words).

    The limits

    The register counts what volunteers have mapped, not what exists; 78 country areas are not harvested yet. Hours are as tagged and unchecked. Distances are straight lines. The full method, the query and the merge rule are on the method page.
