The Pearl Lounge

City context: the venue’s programming, community contribution and distinctiveness within its own city. Worth 9%; until assessed, the existing city-wide scene score is used as a baseline. This venue currently uses the city baseline, not an individual assessment.

Recency of observed Instagram activity. This is a signal, not proof of current operation.

Visitor ratings, adjusted toward the site average while reviews are limited. Applied once a venue reaches the minimum review count.

Venue capacity, scaled so that larger venues don’t dominate the overall score.

How long the venue has been open.

How often visitors save a venue. This has a small influence on the score.
