    Question about what the proper protocol is for reviews of any Place (in this case, a Bar) that moves to a new location.

    The example I've got is this place:
    http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/23112/view=beerfly

    A few months ago, they moved to a new location. Their address and increased # of taps has been updated by someone on their Places page, with "Relocated in May 2013" added to the notes.

    Under the "Update" button, I noticed that there is "Report Closed" option. So should the Place be reported closed and a new entry added, since all the old reviews do not reflect the new location? Or should I just Edit my old review and update the score?

    What exactly happens if a place is updated to be "Closed"? Is it removed from the database?

    Just click "other", then in the comments say that it moved, and give the new address, and any other info that changed (Phone, details, etc).

    If it's the same owner/concept ... just submit an address change.

    Closed places are not removed.
