Score
Medium Risk

The inspection history at Drink is still short, with only two visits logged. Drink was last inspected on Jul 13, 2023. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. Public records show no inspections at Drink since Jul 13, 2023, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around three violations to closer to six violations.

Looking across the full record, “consumption of animal foods that are raw undercooked” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.

The city-wide average sits at 86, which Drink's 58 doesn't quite reach. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
