Battle for top placed London & Regional Pubs as Beard Friendly Pub 2020 poll set to close
The Beard Liberation Front has said that the vote for the annual Beard Friendly Pub of the Year will close at midday on Sunday 12th January.
There are as usual three categories within the overall poll:
1 Overall Winner & runner-up
2 London Winner & runner-up
3 Regional Winner & runner-up
BLF Inspectors have been surveying pubs for beard friendliness for the past couple of months (criteria below) and finalised a list including several nominations from drinkers.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, while the battle for overall winner and runner up looks to between the Bumble Inn and the Cock Tavern, runner-up places in London & the Regions are far from settled with just hours left to vote
The criteria for the Award include:
Beard Friendly Pub: a pub that welcomes the hirsute and often has a significant number of hirsute customers, including but certainly not confined to those with modern styles of beards.
Beard Friendly Ambience: a pub that may have fewer hirsute customers but is welcoming to the hirsute through some bearded bar staff and beard friendly beers, plus has a generally relaxed atmosphere for all.
The campaign group says it welcomes diversity in both appearance and drinking. The truly beard friendly pub will have a genuine mix of customers not just a load of old blokes grumbling about life.
The list includes a range of pubs, bars and tap rooms without attempting to classify into sections
The 2019 winner was the Cock Tavern in Hackney
