What visitors say

No ratings yet. Be the first.

Ratings are one signal among several and carry 10% of a room’s NOX score — editorial judgement carries 45%. Averages are pulled toward the site-wide mean until enough people have rated, so a handful of votes cannot move a room. How we rank.

How this score is built

58.7/ 100 NOX score

Editorial34.2 of 45

Editorial score. A reviewer who has been in the room, or trusts someone who has.

Scene7.6 of 9

Scene importance. Being great in Berlin counts differently from being great where there are four clubs.

Freshness6.0 of 17

Instagram freshness. A room that stopped posting is a room in trouble.

Ratings5.0 of 10

Visitor ratings. Shrunk toward the site-wide average, so a handful of votes cannot move a room and a brigade has to be enormous to be felt. Counts only once a venue clears the minimum number of ratings.

Impact4.4 of 11

Capacity and reach. A 4,000-person hall and a 200-person basement are judged on the same curve, not the same size.

Longevity1.6 of 4

Longevity. Surviving ten years in nightlife is evidence.

Saves0.0 of 4

User saves. Deliberately weak — it is the easiest signal to game.

Editorial score is set by a human who has been in the room or trusts someone who has. Nothing on this page has ever been paid for.
