The Outlas catalogue, in numbers
Open figures on what we list and how complete the data is. Everything below is generated from the live catalogue at build time — nothing here is typed by hand.
Read these as facts about the catalogue, not about nightlife. Outlas is curated: venues are added by hand and checked before they go live, so this is a deliberate sample of places worth going, not a census of every licensed premises. Where a percentage appears, the denominator is the 2,499 venues we list.
