### 5/5 — unique app, super helpful to ensure a fun night!

*2025-05-05*

This app has made one of the worst parts of going out obsolete. no one likes showing up to empty bar after empty bar, totally kills the vibe. i just wish it was more universal so you could see more accurately how busy places are/where you’re friends are at.

### 5/5 — Find the best bars!!

*2025-04-22*

I love Barfly! It helps you find bars in your area that are busy and a good time!!! Especially great for traveling when you don’t know which is a popular place! I love Barfly so much it makes picking out your evening plans ten times easier!!!

### 5/5 — A Savior for the Indecisive

*2023-09-15*

As someone who doesn’t do well with making choices, I love this app! It allows me to find a bar based on what I want for the night: super chill, more hyped, etc. I love getting to take pictures and see who’s out when I am. Definitely a need for anyone who goes out in a big city and gets overwhelmed by the options!

### 5/5 — A great night out!!

*2023-08-30*

Barfly has become my go-to app to choose a bar to go to and meet up with friends and have a great time. I know the bar is going to be busy so I can meet new people in a city that’s sometimes hard to do in!
