Know how busy it is before you go.
BarScout shows live crowd levels at bars near you — reported by people who are already there, not guessed from a review posted last March.
How it works
Reports come from people standing in the room. They fade as they age, so what you see reflects tonight — not last weekend.
Scouts report
Someone at the bar taps how busy it is. If their phone confirms they're actually there, the report carries more weight.
You see it live
Open the app and see current crowd levels at bars near you, ranked by distance, with venue hours and what's on tonight.
Scouting earns points
Reporting earns Scout Points, levels and badges. Report often enough at one place and you'll rank as a regular there.
For bars and venues
Claim your venue and speak directly to people deciding where to go tonight. Claims are reviewed by us before they go live.
- ✓Post tonight's events and specials. Live music, trivia, karaoke, happy hour — scheduled ahead or posted on the night.
- ✓Show the room. Add photos and short video so people can see the atmosphere before they arrive. Everything is screened before it publishes.
- ✓See how you're discovered. Aggregate stats on profile views, directions and saves — never anything identifying individual people.
- ✓Know your busiest nights. Crowd history built from real reports, not guesswork.
