## What is PubPass?

PubPass is America's favorite craft beer passport. It’s the best way to explore great bars & breweries around town and across the country. 

As a member you’ll have access to beer deals such as $1 beers and 'buy one get one' (BOGO) beers not just in your home city, but at all participating PubPass locations. Simply show the app to your bartender or server to redeem. The best part? The deal will be available again in 30 days.

Here's how it works:

VISIT A BAR OR BREWERY: Great bars and breweries will appear on your map.

SHOW THE APP: Show the app to your bartender or server and they’ll digitally stamp the page.

SCORE DEALS ON BEER: Each spot will have a great selection of craft beers available with a special deal for PubPassers.

*Deals may vary by city due to state regulations. Click app support for details.

### 5/5 — Pub Pass Lover

*2026-01-29*

This thing rocks!! BOGO is a winner, and it resets in 30 days. Can’t beat that.

### 5/5 — Relaxed social environment

*2026-01-03*

Pubpass is a great gift for socializing with others. It especially is beneficial at establishments like Ft Lauderdale’s Barkyard’n Brews, watching our four legged family members have fun and play in an exceptionally clean and safe environment! 
Their loving, caring and responsible owners are committed to their pets and are good people to get to know, it makes for a very nice community and great opportunity to make new and interesting friends! One of my favorite places to go in South Florida!

### 1/5 — App freezes

*2025-11-01*

Is Pub Pass out of business? My app no longer works and can not find a support contact.
Very disappointing!

### 1/5 — Crashes with iPhone 17Pro

*2025-10-11, version 3.7.2*

The Pub Pass won’t open on my iPhone 17. It tries to open and then crashes.

### 1/5 — Still not working on IPhone 17 bugs are not fixed

*2025-10-02*

The review is in the title.

### 1/5 — Laggy

*2025-09-29, version 3.7.0*

I launch the app and it freezes. I can’t use it

### 5/5 — iOS 26

*2025-09-28*

No longer works since updating to iOS 26. Freezes on map screen. Deleted app and downloaded again, freezes on login screen.

### 1/5 — New phone

*2025-09-24, version 3.7.0*

App will not load in new iPhone 17. Locks up every time where asks to create an account or enter code

### 1/5 — Not working with iOS 26

*2025-09-19, version 3.6.4*

App launches but then freezes on the map page.  Nothing happens, unresponsive and can’t get in.

### 5/5 — Can’t access

*2025-06-29*

I can’t access my account on the app. I can log in to the app but it just spins when I try to view my account and when I look under subscriptions it shows I have none, yet I paid for one in February. Would love to be able to use what I paid for or receive a refund if it can’t be fixed. If it can be fixed I’d love to have a credit for the months that I haven’t been able to use.
