    How we scored Til-Two Club

    Every score on this page comes from the same editorial rubric we apply to the whole category: character, drinks, value, crowd & service, extras. The criteria are weighted toward what matters most in the category, compared against every other place we ranked in the same list rather than against an abstract ideal. We drink at the places we rank, pay our own tab, and re-score when a bar changes hands, moves or reworks its list. Scores are editorial judgments rather than aggregated user ratings.
