# Bar Sazerac: Agent-Direct Score F (38.5%) Site: http://barsazerac.ca/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/barsazerac.ca Scanned: 2026-11-12 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Bar Sazerac is largely invisible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Bar Sazerac's website. It can read what Bar Sazerac offers. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Menu: https://barsazerac.ca/ - Phone: +19058691144 - Address: 278 James St N, Hamilton L8R 2L3 - Prices: 20 prices on the site, the middle one CA$17.00 ## Nearby, also direct Places near Bar Sazerac that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - The Bard and Bear Games Cafe (90 m): https://directindex.org/r/thebardandbear.ca - Synonym (140 m): https://directindex.org/r/synonymshop.com - Le Tambour Tavern (170 m): https://directindex.org/r/letambourtavern.com - Mulberry Street Coffee House (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/mulberrycoffeehouse.com - Saint James Espresso Bar & Eatery (280 m): https://directindex.org/r/saint-james.ca ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing - **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **20 prices on the landing page, the middle one CA$17.00.** ## Fix kit: What to paste Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Bar Sazerac > local business in 278 James St N, Hamilton L8R 2L3, Hamilton cafes and bars.
