Score context
At 22 Gilbert Place, Malcolm B (February 2026) describes bartender hospitality and the Guinness offering; A M (August 2025) describes a cocktail and spirit advice; David A (July 2025) describes guided drink service; Jose B (August 2025) reports an unreplaced half-spilled cocktail. The mix is genuinely split on service and partly mirror-sourced; confidence is low.
