Whether you're traveling, curious, or just want to order with confidence, Sip helps you discover and order drinks like a local — anywhere. TRAVEL THE WORLD'S BARS Explore hundreds of iconic and everyday drinks across 17 countries — Brazil, Mexico, the USA, Japan, France, Italy, the UK, Ireland, Cuba, Argentina, South Korea, Thailand, and more. Every drink comes with its story, how it's served, what it tastes like, and the etiquette locals already know. ORDER IN ANY LANGUAGE Don't speak the language? Flip your phone to the bartender and Sip shows — and says out loud — exactly how to order, in the local tongue. The bar bridge turns "I'll have…" into the right words, every time. YOUR APP, YOUR LANGUAGE Sip speaks 20 languages. Every screen and every story is in your language, so wherever you're from, Sip is yours. And you can "travel" to any country — including America — right from home. YOUR PASSPORT & YOUR SPOTS Save the drinks you love and check off the ones you've tried — your personal Passport. Log where you enjoy them and Sip remembers your favorite bars and spots. Create a free account and it all syncs across your devices. FIND YOUR NEXT POUR Tell Sip your mood or taste and it points you to the perfect drink — from a smoky mezcal to an alcohol-free spritz. Every country has a full no-alcohol section, too. The drinks library and bar bridge work offline — perfect for traveling without data. Share any drink as a gorgeous, story-shaped card. Please drink responsibly. Sip is intended for adults of legal drinking age.
