•  Done as ALT0a. Schwede66 01:27, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

• @Pakoire: What an interesting hook. It matches the source and article. QPQ is done. Earwig's is clean. Looking through the article, I see a few statements which appear a bit like advertising and should be addressed:

• Over time, the business has worked to build a strong community. I understand that this is about Friday nights but I'm a bit confused about how this is useful for an encyclopaedia.
• It is a very popular venue for bands to appear, often with a year long waiting list for a spot. While they do have a long waitlist, I'm not sure about the "is a very popular venue for bands".
• The Mussel Inn beers are award-winning. what awards?

Hi @Panamitsu: - thanks for your good feedback - I have made some edits which I think are improvements. If you are in agreement then I think hook ALT0a is the best one? Pakoire (talk) 06:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your changes, Pakoire. Yes the article looks better now, and yes ALT0a does appear to be better. I'll approve. —Panamitsu (talk) 09:24, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
