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 →

Nice night out. Drinks a bit pricey but definitely a good laugh

awesome time. great club. lots of laughs.

1★ · 2026-07-16
Objectively the worst comedy club I have ever been to. Went to 9pm show on a Wednesday. Not one of the comedians was remotely funny.

Tight seating and room layout

Guests note that the space is narrow and crowded, which can lead to discomfort or challenging sightlines.
