A popular local spot has a summary on google maps that says:

Vibrant watering hole with drinks & po' boys, as well as a jukebox, pool & electronic darts.

It doesn't serve po' boys, have a jukebox (though the playlists are impeccable), have pool, or have electronic darts. (It also doesn't really have drinks in the way this implies. It's got beer and a few canned options. No cocktails or mixed drinks.)

They got a catty one-star review a month ago for having a misleading description by someone who really wanted to play pool or darts.

I'm sure the owner reported it. I reported it. I imagine other visitors have as well. At least a month on, it's still there.

Obvious solution: start serving po' boys and buy a jukebox/pool/electronic darts.

Good businesses appreciate customer feedback delivered in more obvious ways as well.
