Barely A Bar

About this app

You don't need a fully stocked bar to make something worth sipping. Barely A Bar turns the bottles you already own into a menu of cocktails you can actually make tonight.

Point your camera at your bar cart and let Barely A Bar recognize your bottles, or add ingredients by hand. The moment it knows what you have, it shows you exactly what you can mix — and which classics you're just one ingredient away from.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Scan your bar — use the camera to detect bottles and ingredients, no typing required
• Build your home bar — keep a running list of what you've got
• Make it now — instantly see the cocktails you can make with your current ingredients
• One away — discover drinks you could make by grabbing a single extra ingredient
• Explore by taste — browse by flavor and mood to find your next favorite
• Save & collect — heart the ones you love and organize them into collections
• Add your own — keep house specials and personal recipes alongside the classics

A REAL COCKTAIL LIBRARY
Barely A Bar comes with a curated library of house recipes plus the IBA Official Cocktails — the internationally recognized standards every home bartender should know. Clear, step-by-step recipes with measurements in both milliliters (ml) and ounces (oz).
