parallel bars
Find your bar, anywhere
You know the bar you love at home — the room, the crowd, the noise level, the kind of night it turns into. Parallel Bars finds its counterpart in a city you’ve never been to. You tag your locals with the vibe and the kind of bar they are, and when you land somewhere new we match those tags against everything the community has tagged nearby. No star ratings, no sponsored placements — just the closest thing to your bar, wherever you are.
Coming soon to iPhone and Android
Parallel Bars is being built for the 15 largest US metros, starting with Austin and Nashville. Bar listings come from open place data (Overture Maps and Foursquare Open Source Places); the vibes and the votes come from people using the app.
Tips are voluntary, handled entirely on Buy Me a Coffee’s site, and unlock nothing. 21+ applies to beers too.
