Score context
Julie O (May 2026), stevebintley (November 2025 visit, written April 2026), Alan R (July 2025) and Rob (July 2025) report firsthand drinks or cocktail service at 36 Burnett Lane. All four recent drink accounts are favorable, making this a one-sided, single-platform, low-confidence read. UncleDom’s January 2025 post describes a November 2024 visit and was excluded; 2024 service complaints are historical context.
