BBN is a voluntary accreditation program for liquor-licensed venues that demonstrate a commitment to excellence in service and safety. Customers can determine if a venue is BBN accredited through door signage and an accreditation plaque on display within the premises. Additionally, patrons can now use the Best Bar Finder, found at bestbarnone.ca, to easily search for bars in their area that are accredited.
