A real feature article
Professionally written and SEO-optimized, standalone articles cost over €1,000. It's included with Featured.
Found on Google
Your search-optimized profile helps people searching for the best bars in your city actually find you.
Your full menu, online
We publish your complete drinks menu on your profile — typeset beautifully, indexed by Google. Send a photo of a new list and we update it the same week.
One link for everything
Your menu, gallery, story and booking details on one fast page — the link for your Instagram bio and Google Business Profile.
Photo gallery & priority placement

Social reach

Your Featured page can be your website
Many great bars run on Instagram alone — or on a site nobody updates. A Featured profile gives you everything a bar website should have, maintained for you: your story, your full menu with prices, a photo gallery, opening hours, WhatsApp and reservation buttons, and directions. One reliable link for your Instagram bio and Google Business profile — and when your menu changes, we update the page, no web designer required.
See a live exampleHow to promote your bar and get it featured
If you've been searching for how to promote your bar or how to get your bar featured, the most effective move is also the simplest: get your bar covered by a publication the right people already read. Guests today discover where to drink the same way they discover everything else, they search Google, they scroll Instagram, and increasingly they ask an AI assistant for recommendations. To win those moments, your bar needs to show up with a credible, well-written story attached to it.
That's exactly what a BarMagazine feature does. Instead of a thin listing, you get a real editorial article about your bar, your concept, your signature cocktails, your atmosphere, written and optimized so it ranks in search and gives you something worth sharing.
Why being featured beats advertising
Most bar marketing is rented attention: you pay for an ad, it runs, and the moment you stop paying it disappears. A feature article is different, it's an owned asset that keeps working. Here's why it's the smartest way to promote a bar:
- It ranks on Google. A search-optimized article means people looking for "best cocktail bars in [your city]" can actually find you.
- It builds trust. Third-party editorial coverage is far more persuasive than your own ads, it's social proof you can link to from your site, menu and reservations page.
- It reaches the right audience. BarMagazine's readers and 88,000+ Instagram followers are cocktail lovers and industry professionals, the exact people you want walking through your door.
- It compounds. The article keeps driving discovery long after launch, unlike a paid post that vanishes when the budget runs out.
What you get when you feature your bar
Every Featured bar receives a professionally written article (standalone articles cost over €1,000, it's included), an SEO-optimized profile page, priority placement in our global directory used by travellers and locals, a Featured badge, and the option to add Instagram coverage to put your bar in front of our full social audience.
