These are places whose source states that beginners are welcome, in so many words or by describing sessions for people who are just starting. We do not infer it from a friendly photo or a low fee; if the source does not say so, the place is not on this list.
Being welcome is not the same as being taught. If you want lessons, look at the training section of each card; if you want relaxed games, look at the sessions. A “not confirmed” line means the welcome was stated at some point, but we have no recent dated trace of chess at the place.
