## What is Barcology?

Discover cocktails you’ll actually love.

Barcology learns your taste and sorts cocktail menus around what you like, so you can choose better drinks, order with confidence, and make the most of every menu and every bottle you already own.

Instead of standing at the bar unsure what to pick, you’ll know exactly which cocktails match your preferences before you order. And instead of spending money on drinks that look good but don’t fit your taste, you’ll choose options that align with what you actually enjoy.

- Personalized Cocktail Picks
Get recommendations based on what you already like. If you enjoyed a drink or ingredient, Barcology shows you what to try next.

- Scan Any Cocktail Menu
Take a photo and instantly see drinks organized by your taste so you know what to order.

- Mix at Your Home Bar
Add what you have at home and discover cocktails you can already make.

- Know What to Buy Next
See which ingredients to get next to expand your options.

- Track What You Like
Save favorites, track what you’ve tried, and refine your taste over time.

- 620+ Cocktails
Explore recipes, ingredients, and tutorials for every drink.

Avoid wasting money on cocktails that don’t match your taste or feeling rushed when ordering at the bar. Barcology helps you make decisions that are informed, personal, and worth it.

Better taste. Personalized choices.
At the bar or at home.

### 5/5 — Best app!!

*2026-06-29, version 1.4.6*

This app is great!! I always get stuck between what drink when I’m out so this is amazing!

### 5/5 — Great way to try different drinks

*2026-05-10*

Never knew there were so many options for the ingredients that I like!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much! That’s exactly what we were hoping Barcology would help with, discovering new drinks based on flavors and ingredients you already enjoy.

### 5/5 — Amazing Social Hospitality App!

*2026-05-02*

Hey hey! I showed this app to my friends and they love it. Think it’s an innovative way to prospect drink recommendations. I even got my suggestion to the app added of potential drink recommendations based on a drink you choose! Encourage use in all social settings!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind words! We’re really glad the personalized recommendations are helping you discover new cocktails you’ll love. Making decision-making easier (and more fun) is exactly what we’re aiming for. We appreciate the thoughtful feedback and will definitely keep it in mind as we continue improving the app. Cheers! 🍸

### 5/5 — Barcology

*2026-04-05*

Friend told me to get the app. It’s perfect for going to dinner with friends as I am very indecisive.

**Developer response:** Love that. Indecision at dinner is exactly what this is built for. Glad it’s helping.

### 5/5 — Saved my life

*2026-04-04*

My friend and I love this app!!

**Developer response:** Haha let’s go! Appreciate you and your friend using it

### 5/5 — Very easy to use and effective

*2026-03-28*

I’m more of a beer guy so this app is great to use when I get a cocktail. 

For the few cocktails I know I like, it got right and I’ve liked the new ones I’ve tried so far! Would recommend.

**Developer response:** Appreciate this a lot, especially from a beer guy! Glad it’s been getting your tastes right and that you’re liking the recommendations.

### 5/5 — I like cocktails now!

*2026-03-08*

I am not usually a drinker but now I can have something I know I will like.

**Developer response:** Love this. So glad it’s helping you find drinks you actually enjoy!

### 5/5 — Pretty handy app

*2026-02-25*

I am impressed by the ability to scan menu items and create the drinks off of the menu.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! Glad you’re enjoying the menu scanning feature and recreating drinks from menus (that's my favorite too). Cheers!

### 5/5 — Very Useful

*2026-02-18*

Once you discipline yourself to use the app in the normal course of the evening, it becomes both helpful and fun. Level up to a premium membership and enjoy. 

Probably not intended, but it makes you mindful of what you consume, rather than the knee-jerk reaction to just order what you have previously chosen many times prior because it’s the least objectionable. Now there is nuance, fun,  and enjoyment in play.

**Developer response:** This is such an awesome way to describe the experience.

Barcology is all about bringing intention and discovery back into what you drink, instead of defaulting to the usual. We’re so glad it’s adding nuance and fun to your evenings. Cheers and thanks for being Premium!

### 5/5 — New/Innovative Idea

*2026-02-13*

Design of the app is really clean and easy to use. There is no app I’ve found that works like this one. Great idea and I will continue to use this for a long time.

**Developer response:** Really appreciate this — thank you! 

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the design and the concept. More features coming soon, so stay tuned.
