How we ranked them

Venues are ordered by Google rating weighted by the number of reviews, so a 5.0 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.9 from over a thousand. Listings that are claimed by the owner or checked by us are shown first and carry a Verified badge; that placement is what an owner gets by claiming a listing, and everything else is ranked on reviews. Pricing is as each venue publishes it and changes often.
