The historical 90/100 score, confidence and recorded mentions are unchanged. This source review does not reassess the score or establish a representative current customer sample.
Score context
Lana Du’s November 2025 review praises Honeycomb’s cocktails, music and service. A newly read customer mirror shows one cocktail-specific positive account and two other hospitality accounts. These small selected observations do not establish broad guest consensus; the stored best-bar remark is an unnamed friend quoted in the article.
