Great app to find that right night spot

NightOwl nails it - my go to when Im venturing out for the night. Always been tricky using apps - where to get a good drink, listen to music, or meet new people. Love how theyve made this all easy, the right photos, info that I can use. Now if they could also just serve drinks through the app...

Love this app!

This app is great! Its very user friendly and aesthetically pleasing. its perfect for that night out in your city when you want something new but dont want to go to the same bars over and over again. Its also great for enjoyably exploring the night life in new cities! Love it

IT REALLY KNOWS ME!

Such a great app for a big city like NYC. With endless possibilities, decisions can be tough. NightOwl gets to know you and your preferences and always steers you in the right direction. The tagging is genius, since sometimes you really just want to know where you can play skeeball, you know?

Doesnt work

All the reviews I am seeing online makes me think they are all fake. The app takes your phone number, but doesnt actually work.

Highly recommend

NightOwl is a great resource to expand your nightlife horizons. It is especially useful in finding hidden neighborhood gems and I often use it when Im out in parts of the city Im not particularly familiar with. Highly recommend.

My go to app for nightlife recs

This app has been so helpful in getting me acquainted with my new neighborhood in Brooklyn. Helped me discover my new favorite local bar!

Wow! Consider me impressed!

I had a problem with the app initially, so I wrote a review explaining it. Not even TWO days later, an update was released correcting my issue! Now THATS service! Many App Store developers should take note of how these people run this app! Thank you. Original review below, slightly edited for friendliness ;) To start, the app asks for either A. your phone number, or B. Facebook login. I dont have facebook & Im not giving my # out freely to some app I know nothing about. I hope the developers consider how invasive this app is as far as privacy is concerned.

Best and most thorough nightlife app out there.

As someone who doesn’t live in NYC but visits frequently, NightOwl is my go-to source for planning a fun night out. It has great pictures, maps, happy hour info, and detailed drink menu info. No-nonsense reviews are a huge plus, too. The search function is very accurate and fast. Awesome app.

Awesome App! I use it all the time!

My friends in NYC had told me about NightOwl and Im pumped it finally made it to San Francisco. How often are you with your group of friends wondering where you should go next? Its sunny out and you want outdoor seating. Or you are in the mood to dance. Or you just want to sit and have a good whiskey cocktail. You can never remember the right spot or arent familiar with the neighborhood. Until NightOwl I would take notes on the Notes app or on Evernote to try to remember bars I liked, but my notes were never organized well enough to where they would be useful. With NightOwl I am able to create favorites and tag bars for different features...great happy hour, beer garden, dancing, wine bar, etc. when I am looking for the perfect spot I no longer struggle to remember the bar I went to 3 years ago that I loved. And if I am looking for something new, the app gets to know your preferences the more you use it. Thank you NightOwl for enhancing my night life!

Nice app

Worked well for me during my weekend in NY. They seem to have every place covered, and I liked how visual everything is. We were always able to find a good next spot in just a few seconds of looking.

fantastic app

Great app for people that are new to the city and/or veterans of the party scene. This app is really a time saver keep up the good work

Never left wondering

Since I got this app I have never spent a night wondering the streets with my friends asking that age old question "Where should we go next?". Now I just fire up the app and see where the hot spots are.

Too many bars, too little time

There is never a lack of options in NYC, and the nightlife scene is constantly changing with new closing / openings every week. NightOwl makes it super easy to search for exactly what my friends and I are looking for whenever we want to go out.

Very helpful

Helped me explore the city

Garbage

Only listed bars 7 miles away from me with Manhattan listings only. Yelp is more powerful.

Loving this

Absolutely amazing app and the new search makes it even easier to find EXACTLY what Im looking for. Whos up for shuffleboard?

Great App

Being new to NYC this app has help a lot in making decisions on witch local bar go to. The tagging feature is amazing, finally helped me find a bar to watch the eagles UPDATE: really like the addition of neighbor hood search, no happy hour left unattended attended!

Very useful

This app has helped me discover new spots in my native city. Also, its my go-to source for finding places to go out while traveling.

Best app to find the perfect bar

LOVE the filtering! So much better than Yelp or Foursquare for finding the right spot.

Great App

This app is great. Even if Im not planning on going out that night, I still use the app to find bars to go to in the future. The wide variety of features allows the user to find exactly what type of bar they are looking for.
