Highlighted Exposure
Many of the sites also give extra exposure to member pubs. For instance RatePubs.com has a higlight box on the left side of the screen that shows a random pub from the selected country. Ireland Pub Guide shows a randomly selected member on the front page as do A Guest Of Ireland, A Guest Of Scotland and A Guest Of Europe.
No other service can get you such wide exposure...and all for free!
You might be thinking that there's a catch to this. But there isn't.
Basic membership is free and will always be. We do offer a Premium service that gives you more space, pictures and enhanced listing. But you have no commitment to take this.
And of course we will never sell or rent your email address. In fact under European law we are forbidden from passing your details to anyone!

Additions for your site

Similarly it will show comments left be visitors to any of the network sites...and it even allows you to control how complimentary the comments have to be!
The Benefit of Reviews
One of the key features of The Irish Pubs Directory and the rest of the RatePubs Network is the ability for visitors to leave their reviews and ratings. Of course some premises feel threatened by this but in fact, if you run a professional business, it's actually a great tool.
Of course your pictures and descriptions work...but if that was all there was then people wouldn't be convinced. Word of mouth is what sells and reviews from real people will be your best sales force. And of course it also operates as a feedback mechanism for you...if the ratings start to drop you know it's time to review how your operating. Before it's too late!
Be Found
If you have your own web site you might feel that there is no need to list on Irish Pubs Directory. But you will also have noticed that having a web site that no-onevistis is like advertising on a newspaper that only you buy. Unless you promote the web site no-one will ever find it. The sites in the RatePubs Network receive thousands of hits and are highly ranked for their particular niches, so we can get those visitors for you.
