A social matchmaking app for bars. Check in at a venue, browse people, buy someone a drink anonymously, and match IRL.

TAB'd — Buy Someone a Drink. Meet IRL.

A social matchmaking app that connects people at bars through the simple act of buying a drink.

How It Works

  1. Check in at a venue via QR code
  2. Browse who's there — swipe through profiles (Tinder-style cards)
  3. Send a drink — pick a person, choose from the venue's menu, confirm
  4. Anonymous delivery — the bar prepares it with a drink number
  5. Match — when they pick it up, you're connected
  6. Chat — start a conversation with your match
