58 to 270 is quite a large margin

Yep but there is no category with more pubs, so perhaps it should read 58+ and it would still have the same effect.

Obligatory

There's a huge difference between Vienna and the rest of Austria

It implies 1 of the 3 counties with 58+ actually has 270 I feel like they could be in a category all in their own.. some legendary color

I made this to check how drunk I could get if I visited each pub in a district and had one beer.

I feel the color ramp should be reversed. Dark colors to me have a heavy connotation, symbolizing more of something. Otherwise, very interesting!

Looks like the lesson is if you’re in Vienna, never leave.

• Use a colormap would rather than 10+ different labels
• Capitalize the title
• It looks like you squished Austria. Don't know how QGIS, but the map just looks "off"

I read this as only one county with 58+ the other two are the category under 58 But yeah better colors would help to

what is the definition of pub used? I live in an area that has the darkest color and there are a few pubs in my town alone

not necessarily, the alps are more sparcely populated, but are very touristy, so they have more pubs as well

It’s a bad projection, you can change the PCS

Pubs per x population would be better measure

What is the definition of a pub used here? A pub in a traditional sense is a bar licensed to sell alcoholic drinks to be consumed on premises and where patrons are allowed to drink alcohol, and is not a hotel. Most countries prohibit drinking alcohol in the public outside of such establishments.

In the nineties, my dad used to work in St. Pantaleon in Braunau district, a village of ca. 3,000, right at the border with Salzburg. There used to be a Gasthof there (torn down since then) and at least two more place where you could get a drink (one by the Höllerersee lake, and one disco/pub in Trimmelkam). I guess the Gasthof wouldn't really qualify since it's an inn, but the other bars would certainly qualify to be pubs.

Thus, if a sparsely populated agricultural commune (Gemeinde) of several thousand residents with very little tourism could support at least two pubs (ca. one per 2,500) plus one drinking place (right across the street of where my dad rented an apartment), I doubt that there would be less than several thousand pubs in all of Austria.

Unless it's a "pub" as in a traditional English, Welsh, Scottish or Irish pub, complete with the decor and selection of dishes and drinks, in which case I'm shocked there are that many such pubs in Austria.
