What's New in bartender.live

2.1.4

July 29, 2026

New: Achievements and a daily streak. Earn badges as you mix, explore, and keep your streak going - find them on the Help tab. A freshened Supplies shop: new Glassware, Syrups, Tiki Mugs, and Smokers sections, up-to-date picks, prices at a glance, and pull-to-refresh. Dark Mode polish throughout, including the Refresh button on the Help screen. Faster, lighter drink-library updates behind the scenes, plus assorted fixes and refinements. Thanks for pouring with bartender.live. Cheers!

Search function is really poor

I search for “Gin Campari “ within the All Drinks tab and it returned nothing; not helpful!

Bartender.live

Great app. Has been very useful.
Please add a search function to look up featured cocktails. Also the ability to look for drinks featuring a particular spirit would be nice also.

Alright, could have some improvements

Being able to filter based on your in stock inventory is nice. I might suggest the ability to list how much of each inventory (quantity) you have, because obviously that's going to limit your sales volume. I also think a search option would be useful, say for example you want to filter by drinks that use "mint" as an ingredient. The supplies section is completely useless, and doesn't seem to be developed by anyone who's actually worked in the industry. Otherwise it's a nice pocket reference. It's obviously not all encompassing, for example I went to search for "hot toddy" and there is not a recipe for what is a fairly common drink.

I wrote a kind review and the idiot developer responded with two blatant lies about their product. I'm now rating this as 1 star because of this asswipe.

Response from developer

Hi and thanks for the review! Please note that you absolutely can search for drinks that use mint. Pull down on any of the lists in the Drink Library and you’ll see the search box. Also: Hot toddy is one of my favorite drinks and it’s been in the system since day one! ——————— I’m confused. You dropped the rating from 4 stars to 1 star after I replied. How did my response have a negative impact on your review of my app?

Love this app!

This is such a great app. It keeps track of not only my favorite cocktail recipes but also keeps track of what cocktails I can make with what I currently have available in my bar!
