Venue capacity, scaled so that larger venues don’t dominate the overall score.
How long the venue has been open.
How often visitors save a venue. This has a small influence on the score.
The editorial score reflects our review of venue and local scene information. It doesn’t mean we’ve visited in person. Venues can’t pay for a higher score.
