Bars · Pool halls · Live TV nights

The social ledger for the room you’re already in.

Buy someone a drink. Tip the bartender. Buy the table a round. Settle pool, darts, foosball, and TV-side wagers — without the awkward Venmo chase.

Under 10 seconds for common actions Tips stay fee-free Made for the room you’re already in

Everything the night already does — minus the friction.

BarPal is presence-aware money + friendly competition for bars and pool halls. Not another generic payments app.

🍻

Drinks, rounds & splits

Gift a pour, cover the table, or settle an IOU with presets that match bar prices — not a spreadsheet.

🏆

Team rounds

Captains buy the whole dart, pool, or softball roster a round in one tap. Everyone’s covered after the match.

💵

Tips bartenders love

Staff QR on the rail. Tips are fee-free, and tipper identity is visible so good regulars get recognized.

🎱

Table & TV wagers

Pool, darts, foosball, and games on the screens — propose, accept, lock stakes, settle clean.

📍

Here-now presence

Check in with a venue QR. See who’s in the room (opt-in). Pay the person across the felt, not a phone book.

🔔

Follow your bars

Opt in for league nights, happy hour, and last-call notes from bars you actually go to. Unfollow anytime.

Built for the night

Fast paths for the stuff you already do at the bar — less typing, fewer “who has Venmo?” moments.

How a night works

Designed for two phones at a table — the real unit of onboarding.

Check in (and optionally follow) Scan the venue or table QR. You’re on Here-now. Opt in if you want updates from that bar.
Move money socially Buy a drink, tip staff, split a round — or buy the whole team a round after the match. Fee previewed when it applies.
Play the room Lock a friendly stake on pool, darts, foosball, or the game on TV. Settle when it’s over.
Keep the night moving Receipts stay clear. See updates from bars you follow. Switch rooms with a code. Check out when you’re done.

Made for two phones at a table

The real unit of onboarding isn’t a download ad — it’s you and a friend already at the bar. BarPal is built for that moment.

Designed to keep the night clean

Guardrails early — fun without chaos.

Clear receipts & statuses

Every gift, tip, and wager has a state. Less “I thought you sent it.”

Limits & confirms

Big amounts get extra confirmation. User-set spending and bet caps help prevent regret taps.

Presence with control

Opt-in here-now, quiet mode, block/report — discovery without creep.

Structured wagers

Terms, accept, lock, settle — so table games don’t turn into arguments.

Identity where it helps

Tips show who tipped so regulars get recognized — not a faceless dump.

Room-first by design

You’re paying people in the same bar, not hunting contacts in a phone book.

Get in before your regular bar fills up without you.

Join the waitlist for early access. We’re rolling out city by city so the room actually has people on it.

You’re on the list. We’ll be in touch.

No spam. Just early access when your city opens.
