Barfly Diners is the private journal your guests keep of the bars they love. When they love yours, you get a direct line back to them — the people who already chose you.
Your best customers already come back. But you can't message them without buying ads that blast strangers who'll never walk in. Barfly flips it: your guests opt in by loving you — and you reach exactly them, and only them.
Claiming takes two minutes and costs nothing — then every guest who loves you becomes a regular you can reach.
Free. Set your profile — hours, your story, your specials, what to order.
Barfly grows bar to bar — friends share it, regulars keep it. Every new Barfly who adds your spot is a love, and a regular you can reach.
They keep you in their journal — and you get the loves, plus the tools to reach them.
Getting found and getting loved are always free — they grow the app. You pay to reach your people: the regulars who love you and the crew who runs the place.
It's free to claim — your profile, your love count. Tell us about your spot and we'll take it from there.
Your line to everyone who matters — the regulars who love you and your crew. Deals, events, and team heads-ups that land with exactly the right people, never a blast to strangers.
Self-serve software — no agency, no retainer, no done-for-you. Produced video reviews are à-la-carte, never required.
Reaching lovers takes diner density — that builds over months as Barfly spreads. But team updates work on day one, with zero density needed. Get on Reach early, get your team connected tonight, and grow into lover reach as your regulars pile up.
Post the schedule, flag 86'd items, call an all-hands, “patio closed at 9.” No customer base required.
Every new Barfly who loves you adds to your reach. When density arrives, you already own the channel — and the habit.
Everything self-serve. Aggregates only — you never see who, and never what anyone wrote.
Loves, lists, and trend — no identities, ever.
Target Lovers, Listers, or Staff — separate or combined.
Approve-on-join, revoke one, rotate the word. Names only — never their notes.
Aggregate results with k-anonymity floors. Opens are best-effort; we promise reach.
You only ever see aggregates — counts, trends, city. Never who, never what anyone wrote. You can't even see your own staff's notes. Your guests trust it because it's built so no one — not even you — can read their journal. That trust is what makes a love mean something.
Free to claim. $149/mo to reach your regulars. Founding Venues who move early set the pace for what comes next.
