Barfly Diners: Bar Journal

Barfly Diners Journal

About this app

Never forget a good bar again.

Barfly Diners is a private journal for people who love bars — the neighborhood spot, the ice house, the dive, the cocktail room. Save the places you love, skip the ones you didn't, and remember the details that make a regular a regular: the bartender's name, what you drank, who you met, where to sit.

YOUR JOURNAL, NOT A FEED
• Love it, put it On the List, or Pass — your call, your notes
• Remember staff, go-to drinks, people you met, and visit history
• Search everything — places, notes, people
• Photos, visit notes, and "get there before 6 on Fridays" wisdom

FIND YOUR NEXT SPOT
• "I'm here now" — one tap logs where you're sitting
• Places near me — see what's around, spot the ones you've already loved
• Plan a trip — search another city without saving anything

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account. No sign-up. No social feed. No ads.
• Your journal lives on your device — not on our servers
• Optional auto-backup is encrypted on your phone before it leaves; we store bytes we cannot read. Your recovery code is the only key.
• Share one journal with your partner: same code, both phones, always in sync

FOR PEOPLE WHO SIT AT THE BAR
Barfly Diners is made by barflies, for barflies — the people who know the staff, tip well, and always have a recommendation. Pull up to the bar.

Barfly Diners is for adults 21 and over (18+ rating). Drink responsibly.

What’s new

Scan a Barfly QR code - a bar's sign or a bartender's card - and it now opens straight to that spot in the app instead of bouncing you out to a browser.

Fixed a location permission problem that could stop nearby bars from loading.

If you work at a bar, you can now share your venue's QR code right from the app.

Groundwork so small improvements can reach you faster between updates.
