You can now post Bar/Restaurant Reviews.
Home page - below Job Centre.
One thread per Bar/Restaurant please.
Please bear in mind that most of them are small businesses and the owner's sole source of income - i.e. their and their families' livelihoods.
Therefore we WILL err on the side of the Bars/Restaurants should there be disputes or complaints.
We hope you will understand our stance.
If posting in 'Others' please put the location in the title.
Where's the advantage over leaving a review on Trip Advisor?
Tripadvisor can be very useful but it is famously wide open to abuse.

Same for me using the link above. I also tried looking under 'All' sections but couldn't see a section for Bar/Restaurant reviews.

How do you know that this won't be open to abuse. As most names are anonymous, it could be anybody writing a review ie: The owner, his brother, sister uncle Tom Cobbley and all :o

Yes of course it is open to abuse.
All we can say is that we'll try our best to minimise it.
We are also pretty confident that we will end up on the receiving end of abuse in our attempts to do so :(
At least it's good to know that you'll be on top of any un-called-for vicious reviews, unlike Tripadvisor, with whom I have had dealings with on is very issue. They seem to be on the side of the Reviewer, no matter what.
