North America’s 50 Best Bars 51-100 Checklist!
Do you like showing off how many bars on a list you’ve been to? Are you annoyed by having to arrange all the little checkmarks manually in your phone’s photo app? Well, be annoyed no more – this form lets you easily track your bars!
Check off which of the 2026 North America’s 50 Best Bars 51-100 you’ve been to, then screencap or download it to share with your friends (don’t forget to tag @Bar_Notable!). A more polished and automated version of this will be a premium feature of our site, but you get to test this rough and ready version for free.
(On iPhone, this opens zoomed in and the check squares look like circles, so the checkmarks look a little odd. I’m working on a fix but since I learned all of this in like four hours, I’m going to be happy for what *does* work.)
