Who can post
Anyone can browse Pour Score without an account. To publish a review you need to sign up — it takes one email, no password. Your reviews stay yours: you can edit or delete any of them at any time, and nobody else can touch them.
Venues are shared. When you add a bar that is not on the site yet, it becomes available to everyone, and its house profile is the average of every drink reviewed there.
