Reporting idea: prove a city drinks guide before recommending it

A trustworthy local guide needs current logistics, a declared selection method, and evidence beyond a polished venue description.

Published by LQRS Open Notebook. This is a source note from the accountable LQRS Editorial desk, published in Channels rather than the reported editorial section.

Start with a bounded place and purpose: for example, independent bottle shops reachable by public transport, or bars with a documented alcohol-free list. Define the inclusion rule before gathering candidates.

Minimum evidence

Verify the official address, current opening hours, booking or walk-in policy, accessibility information, age restrictions, contact route, and the specific feature that qualifies the venue. Record when each fact was checked. Separate direct venue claims from observations and third-party reviews.

The finished guide should explain why a place is included, what may change, and how corrections can be submitted. Without that maintenance plan, a local list becomes stale faster than it becomes useful.
