Sip — See what’s live tonight. Going out shouldn’t feel like a scavenger hunt. Sip brings tonight’s bars, deals, friends, and crowd signals into one place—built for patrons who want a smarter night out and for venues that want to reach the right people with real results. FOR PATRONS • Discover what’s on tonight Browse a dedicated Promotions feed with live and upcoming offers from bars near you. See real start and end windows so you know what’s still running—not yesterday’s flyer. • Map the night Explore nearby bars on an interactive map with live wait, cover, and crowd snapshots contributed by the community. Spot where your friends are checked in and decide where to go next without bouncing between group chats. • Plan with people, not posts Follow bars you love, add friends, and coordinate through groups and social events. RSVP, share plans on the feed, and keep the night in one app instead of scattered across texts and stories. • Search & profiles Find bars and people in your city, view bar pages with promos and photos, and build a profile that reflects how you actually go out—favorite spots, status points, and the bars you follow. • Contribute & stay in the loop Share quick line reports when you’re at a venue to help others in the community. Get a clearer picture of the room before you commit to the Uber. Sip is designed for adults 21+. You’ll create a patron account, set your city, and start exploring bars, friends, and offers in your area. FOR BARS & VENUES Sip isn’t just a consumer app—it’s a network your venue can run on. • Run promotions that fit the night Bar owners and managers can create and schedule campaigns with clear windows, visibility controls, and creative built for foot traffic—not generic blast posts. • Understand what actually worked Built-in analytics show promo views, clicks, QR engagement, redemptions, peak hours, and audience segments—so you can see which nights, offers, and messages moved people, not just how many likes a post got. • See traffic in context A bar-facing map view highlights live wait, cover, and crowd patterns across your market—useful for staffing, pricing, and knowing when the room is about to pop. • Verified venue accounts Bar administrator accounts are tied to a specific venue and verified before full publishing access—keeping the feed trustworthy for patrons and protecting your brand on the platform. WHY SIP Most nights fail in the gaps: an offer expires before you hear about it, your group never picks a place, and venues guess at demand. Sip closes that loop. Patrons get a live picture of where to go; bars get targeted reach and measurable outcomes on the same network. Whether you’re meeting friends after class, hosting industry night, or running happy hour on a slow Tuesday, Sip helps you show up informed—and helps venues show up with the right offer at the right time. Download Sip, pick Patron or Bar Owner at signup, and see what’s live tonight.
