NYC Lines

Stop guessing how long the line is. NYC Lines is the crowd-sourced map of bar wait times across New York City — see what's packed and what's a walk-in before you leave the apartment. HOW IT WORKS • Open the map and see live wait times at bars around you, reported by the crowd. • Green means walk right in. Amber is a short wait. Red means bring your patience. • Check in when you arrive and drop the current wait to help everyone else. PLAN THE PERFECT NIGHT • Busyness forecast — we learn each spot's rhythm from past reports and show you the best time to go. • "Open now" and "under 20 min" filters to find somewhere fast. • Closed spots never show a fake wait — you only see what's actually open. BARS AND FROYO • Flip between Bars and Froyo modes to find late-night drinks or a sweet treat. • Real hours and photos for every spot. GO WITH FRIENDS • Add friends and see where they're out tonight. • Get a heads-up when a friend checks in somewhere. Built for New Yorkers who'd rather be inside with a drink than outside in a line. NYC Lines is free. Wait times are crowd-sourced estimates — please drink responsibly and never drink and drive. Questions or feedback? Email us — we read everything.
