In Real Time.

BarMatch makes going out easy. Find the right spots, access specials, and meet new people. Our goal is to get you off the screen and back in the moment.

Be first in line when BarMatch opens in Chicago.

STEP 01

Find your
spot.

Open the app and see what venues are trending right now, who's running deals, and where your friends already are. Hunting for somewhere new? Search and filters take you from rooftop cocktails to a darts-and-draft dive in a tap.

STEP 02

Walk in.
Check in.

Now you're visible only to verified people in the room or checked in nearby — never the whole internet. Want to lie low? Go friends-only, or stay invisible and just work the deals.

STEP 03

See who's out and find deals.

No swiping — especially not in public. Set your preferences and browse who's actually checked in around you, read the vibe, spot mutual friends, and find real people. Or just cash in on the deals from partner venues. Your call.

STEP 04

Make the
first move.

Match on a mutual like, or send a real drink at partner venues — they redeem it at the bar and the bartender does the rest. Unsure about someone? Run a Vibe Check to poll your friends first. Just move fast: chats last one hour. The point is to get you off the screen and into the room.

What's inside

Built for SinglesCouplesFriendsDeals

Explore

Discover venues around you and filter by category — vibes, parlor games, snacks, or music — to find your exact spot tonight.

Match Game

Meet real people checked in around you right now. Chats last one hour — reopen one with a drink.

Buy-a-Drink

Send a real drink to any match in the room — or a friend at any partner venue. One tap and they redeem it at the bar.

Vibe Check

Want your friends' opinions on a match? Poll them and get real-time results — even when they're not with you.

Friends

See which friends are out, where they are, and invite them to meet up.

Privacy First

You control who sees you. Go Public to meet anyone nearby, limit to Friends, or stay Venue-only— visible just to the room you're in, never the whole internet. Screenshots are blocked, so what happens in the app stays in the app.

Exclusive Deals & VIP Specials

Unlock members-only perks at partner venues the moment you check in — drink specials, cover waivers, and deals reserved for BarMatch users.

Activity Feed

Live deals, friend check-ins, drink offers, and events in one feed — a real-time pulse of every venue around you. Never miss a good time or a good deal.
