Centmap is a dedicated map built to demystify the cost of a night out in some of the world’s most expensive cities. Currently serving Singapore, London, and Hong Kong, Centmap provides hyper-localized, time-sensitive beer menus and real-time pricing data. By tracking not just what bars serve, but when and how they charge, Centmap allows you to budget, compare costs, and explore menus before you ever leave the house. Why Use Centmap? Bar pricing is rarely static. Between shifting happy hour windows, day-of-the-week fluctuations, and highly variable serving sizes (from half-pints to full towers), finding the actual cost of a drink is incredibly difficult using standard map applications. Centmap solves this by storing our own gathered pricing data, then uses the app interface to calculate out live prices based on the time and date. Core Features: - Real-Time Price Rendering: See exact, calculated prices displayed directly as annotations on the map. Centmap instantly updates the map pins based on your selected drink and the current time of day. - 12-Hour Future Time Slider: Plan your night geographically. Scroll up to 12 hours into the future to see exactly how map prices will change when happy hours end, which bars close early, and what a pint will cost at your next stop. - Granular Type & Size Filtering: Compare apples to apples. Filter the map by your preferred beer brand or by specific serving sizes—including Half Pints, Pints, Bottles, Jugs, Towers, Steins, and Buckets. - Automated Promo & Happy Hour Calculations: No more doing manual math or squinting at outdated chalkboard menus. Centmap automatically factors in complex multi-tier happy hours, midnight time-spans, and custom time-of-day promotions. - Detailed Bar Profiles: Tap any map marker to view standard operating hours, active happy hour countdowns, full beer menus, localized currency codes, and direct navigation routing. - Community-Driven Accuracy (Become an Editor): To keep pace with real-world price adjustments, Centmap relies on an active community. Trusted users can use built-in editing tools to submit menu updates, adjust price changes, or log new bars in their neighborhood. Practical Use Cases: The 5 PM Office Exodus: Quickly scan the blocks surrounding your office to see which venues are currently in their peak happy hour windows and compare their pint prices side-by-side. The Specific Hunt: Need a 1L Stein for Oktoberfest or a Pint of Guinness for St. Patrick's Day? Filter out everything else and map only the venues serving exactly what you want. The Late-Night Check: Avoid the frustration of walking to a closed door. Use the map past midnight to instantly see what remains open at 2 AM or 3 AM and see if late-night price surges apply. Whether you are a budget-conscious traveler navigating a new city, a student looking to make a weekend budget stretch, or an office worker planning a casual mid-week catch-up, Centmap strips away the guesswork from the going out to grab a drink. Centmap was built out of a personal frustration with unpredictable bar tabs, lack of transparent menu data online, and general rising costs of living worldwide. We are entirely committed to building the most accurate, thorough, and functionally useful drink index available- hoping to save you hundreds of dollars in the long run. Thank you for supporting the community, and happy mapping! – The Centmap Founder Current Coverage: Singapore- working to grow London, Hong Kong. What’s Next: We are actively building out data pipelines to expand coverage across additional regions around APAC and beyond soon. Stay tuned for upcoming location drops!
