How this score works

The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

Burst
— an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
Low activity account
— the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
Duplicate text
— the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

Great atmosphere, live music, and tasty appetizers: the spicy wings, pretzels, and fries. I loved the Weihenstephaner Vitus beer. A rich banana flavor. The oldest beer in the world, brewed in 1940. A really cool place to hang out in Brookly...

The best live music in Brooklyn! I have been going to Radegast on Sunday nights for two months now, and I very much enjoy the exquisite food, the relaxed atmosphere, and the service. However, the live entertainment delivered by the most am...

Great beer, but HORRIBLE service. You have to beg for a waiter or bartender. Also, rude staff. The manager should hire more staff. The ones working there seem overwhelmed.

3★ · 2026-06-13

Great beer garden, cool atmosphere and vibe, but terribly understaffed. We left on a Friday night at 11pm after not being served for half an hour (!) because there was only 1 bartender serving 40+ people

Noise and Crowds

The hall can become extremely loud and packed, making conversation difficult.

1 out of 5 stars The food was good, but that’s about the only positive thing I can say. The music was absurdly loud. Easily 100 decibels, hearing damage level loud. They had speakers blasting in every corner of the place even though the DJ...

Super rude bar tenders and servers, one of them smashed glasses in front of me and broke them when I asked for a couple. Then the server tried to charge me twice for the tip since we were a group.
