Editorial judgement based on reviewed venue and scene evidence. A score does not imply a first-hand visit.

City context8.3 of 9

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.

Freshness6.0 of 17

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

Ratings5.0 of 10

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

Impact4.4 of 11

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

Longevity1.6 of 4

How long the venue has been open.

Saves0.0 of 4

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

The editorial score reflects our review of venue and local scene information. It doesn’t mean we’ve visited in person. Venues can’t pay for a higher score.
