A controlled vocabulary, so two rooms tagged the same actually feel the same.
Rooms that share this one’s DNA.
Editorial score. A reviewer who has been in the room, or trusts someone who has.
Scene importance. Being great in Berlin counts differently from being great where there are four clubs.
Instagram freshness. A room that stopped posting is a room in trouble.
Visitor ratings. Shrunk toward the site-wide average, so a handful of votes cannot move a room and a brigade has to be enormous to be felt. Counts only once a venue clears the minimum number of ratings.
Capacity and reach. A 4,000-person hall and a 200-person basement are judged on the same curve, not the same size.
Longevity. Surviving ten years in nightlife is evidence.
User saves. Deliberately weak — it is the easiest signal to game.
Editorial score is set by a human who has been in the room or trusts someone who has. Nothing on this page has ever been paid for.
Weligama
A beachfront food-and-music compound on Weligama Bay where sunset drinks, live performers and DJ sessions share a relaxed open-air setting.
