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 →

Had a great experience. Nyanne & Angie made us feel very welcomed. The vibes were immaculate, drinks were amazing and the instructions were so easy to follow. Great way to spend either a date night or a birthday celebration.

0/10. Horrible management. Don’t say “first come, first serve” if you have people make reservations online. I arrived early for my friend’s birthday (just three of us) only to discover they had given out seats away to general admission and...

If I could give 0 stars I would. My friends and I bought tickets together multiple weeks ago and were very excited about this experience. We purchased our tickets together specifically to sit, paint, and spend time with one another. When we...
Rushed Class Pace and Timing
Some guests experienced rushed instruction, short time frames to finish paintings, and abrupt departures between classes.

Nice vibe, the employees are nice, this is a blk owned business. The instructor kind of rushed through and kept walking back and forth and didn't really show as she was doing. I think a projector would be great to have for those whose back...

I was disappointed with my recent experience at this paint and sip class. The two-hour time frame felt insufficient to complete the painting at a comfortable pace. The instructor did not demonstrate how to finish the piece until the very en...
