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 place to just sit. Step away from the throngs of people on the sidewalk. Good spot to relax on the river.

We went to see and take pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge. The restroom near the street vendors need work.

We bought a CityPass and it worked perfectly, and we took a very nice sailboat before sunset. The drinks were overpriced in such a deserted place—$17 for a beer! Otherwise, it was a lovely experience watching Manhattan at sunset and dusk fr...

Such a fun venue for concerts! I've been to 4 and all were on nights with amazing weather, which really helps. The line to get in can look daunting because of how long it is, but once past security, it moves quickly. Two suggestions: 1- Co...

weird that y'all are a rain or shine venue, yet decided to cancel my show less than 24 hours before it would start due to some rain.
Good for
- Catching a rooftop concert with a skyline view
- Taking photos of the Brooklyn Bridge
- Relaxing by the waterfront and walking around
Avoid if
- You are sensitive to high drink and concession prices
- You dislike large crowds or waiting in exit rushes
- You are looking for an indoor, enclosed space during bad weather

While its a beautiful venue know before you buy. They use a third party ticket company. So excited to see Andy Grammar the date got moved from 8/23 to 7/18. I was never notified in fact my tickets still said 8/23 when I looked at them on 7/31 and found the show was moved and I was never notified....
