SCENETAP
Save time by checking out the scene at the bar before you go using the SceneTap app. Cameras set up in various bars let you to see in real time what the crowd looks like, how many people are at the bar at that moment, or how the guy to girl ratio next door compares.
Alternately, you can search to see where people your age are going out that night and what other bars are nearby. SceneTap connects bar owners to their patrons and was just launched in Chicago -- but it's coming to your city in the near future.
InMyBar
Pick your poison with the guidance of the bartender in your pocket, the InMyBar app.
This app will come in handy whether out at a bar, mixing in your kitchen, or hosting a party. Select the actual brand names of ingredients, spirits, mixers, fruits, and juices by what you're in the mood for or by what you have at hand. By simply answering a few questions --What do I have, what can I make and what do I need -- the app creates perfect cocktail concoction.
For quick access to a specific drink recipe, just save it in your favorites. And if the app doesn't have an ingredient of your choice, you can save it with a picture for later use. Don’t worry, you don’t have to leave a big tip -- this app costs only $0.99.
Cheers!
