How It Works

Drinkpanion is your community-powered guide to great pubs and nights out. Here's how to make the most of it.

🗺️

Discover Great Pubs

Browse pubs by city, search by name, or filter by what matters to you: craft beer selection, live music, beer garden, dog-friendly, food quality, and more.

Every pub has honest reviews from real people, multi-axis ratings (atmosphere, drinks, service), and a list of what's on tap.

✍️

Rate and Review

Share your experience. Rate pubs on overall quality, atmosphere, drinks, and service. Write a review to help others decide where to go.

Your first review of a pub earns you +10 Beer Points. When others like your review or go to a pub because of your recommendation, you earn even more points.

🍺

Rate Beers

Not just pubs — rate the beers too. Keep track of what you've tried, discover new favorites, and see what's on tap at different venues.

Each beer rating earns you +2 Beer Points (up to 5 per day).

👥

See Who's Out

Opt-in to let friends know you're heading out. Set your status, choose a venue (or just your area), and see if anyone you know is nearby.

Your presence is always time-limited (2-4 hours), opt-in only, and shows venue + city to friends — never your exact GPS location.

Revoke anytime with one tap. If you keep your status for at least 30 minutes, earn +2 Beer Points.

⭐

Earn Beer Points

Beer Points reward helpful recommendations and authentic use — not check-in spam. Earn points for reviews people like, "went because of this" marks, helpful tips, and daily meaningful sessions.

Spend points on soft unlocks like profile badges, highlighted tips, or custom handle changes. No cash, no paid boosts — just community reputation.
