Score context

At 67 Albion Street, Flannel G (September 2025) describes the staff’s wine advice, Mila D (October) orders a yuzu spritz after menu guidance, and Nick L (November) praises an amaro but finds wine selection and glassware disappointing. Their named, dated Google text is visible on Wanderlog. Dining overlaps with these wine-bar visits and all three are on one mirror; confidence is low.

Guest score details

What guests like

  • friendly guidance and a well-liked yuzu spritz

What to know
