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.

- 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.

Unfortunately, we did not have a good time here. Way more staff were required and the manager had a terrible attitude.

Horrible, don’t go here to watch a rangers game… the rude staff will say they hit “capacity” and won’t let you inside… go to American whiskey instead
5★ · 2026-07-13
Great spot to catch all of the World Cup action. We squeezed in to watch the England v Norway game ...and the service was great along with the atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit to enjoy a pint and your favorite spectator sport. CHEERS!

Everything was great, but what really made our visit special was our host, Evelyn. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Her excellent service made our experience even better. Thank you, Evelyn!
