About

Genesius

Features
Read full description

Find out what's happening tonight without spending hours researching. Genesius pulls together live music, comedy, trivia, karaoke, open mics and happy hours from across your city so you're not digging through six venue Facebook pages and a listings site that only shows the shows someone paid to promote. WHAT'S ON, NEAR YOU See tonight's events sorted by distance. Filter by what you're in the mood for: a show, a comedy set, trivia at a brewery, a karaoke night to show off your pipes. Set your distance to match how far you're willing to travel. PLAN THE WHOLE NIGHT Build an itinerary, not just a bookmark. Line up a happy hour, a show, and whatever comes after. Then share it with whoever's coming. Add custom stops for the pregame at a friend's place. Everyone can vote on what to add. FAVORITE WHO YOU LIKE Favorite anything worth coming back to: build your shortlist of bands, weekly trivia nights, favorite happy hours. Even add events straight to your phone's calendar in a single tap so you don't forget the one you were most excited about. FIND THE SMALL STUFF The neighborhood bar with a bluegrass jam every Tuesday is exactly the kind of thing that never makes a listings site. It makes Genesius. BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO GO OUT Genesius is crowdsourced. If a venue is missing, add it. If a weekly event changed nights, fix it. Every listing can be corrected by the people who were actually there. NOW IN COLUMBUS AND CLEVELAND We're building Ohio out properly before we expand. Real venue coverage in a few cities beats thin coverage in fifty. --- Event information changes constantly and venues don't always announce it. Always confirm details with the venue before you head out. Questions or corrections: contact@noblecloudconsulting.com
