Why these venues
The ranking pulls every bar in our Lima directory and orders by Google's public rating, then by review count as a tiebreaker. A venue with a 4.6 average and a thousand reviews ranks above a 4.9 average with twelve, on the principle that depth of feedback matters more than headline score. We do not weight by recency, distance from a single district, or category-specific factors. For pricing, hours, address, and the surrounding district context, open the venue page through any list item above.
