PINTS FOR publicans

The cellar-to-bar tap list, the loyalty stamp, and the punter directory — all free, forever, for indie pubs.

→ For landlords, GMs & cellarmen

Update your tap list
in 8 seconds.

Pints replaces the £80 chalkboard scrawl on Monday afternoon. Open the app, drag a new keg in, set the price, hit save. The Pelican on Westbourne Park does it from behind the bar mid-shift. Your punters see the change before the next round.

Live tap list — 8 seconds

Drag a keg, set the price. Your pub appears on the Pints map within 60 seconds.

Loyalty stamp, automatic

Punter scans the QR by the till. Done. No printers, no plastic cards, no monthly subscription.

Footfall & pour data

See which beers your regulars chase, which nights are quiet, and which brewery deserves a cellar slot next.

Featured in the directory

Verified pubs get a sticker, a write-up slot, and pinned status in their neighbourhood feed.

VOICES AT THE bar

Four drinkers. Two brewers. All on the back of beer mats.

"

Found a pub doing Burning Sky Plateau on cask, three minutes from my flat. I've lived here six years.

SAM, 31Bethnal Green · Drinker

"

The crate landed Friday morning. Six cans I'd never heard of, all worth chasing. Better than my Spotify Discover.

PRIYA, 28Walthamstow · Crate member

"

We sold out of Cloudwater DDH in two days after Pints listed us as a brewery feature. Pints+ does what flyers can't.

JEN, 42Co-founder, The Hare

"

Stamp 8, stamp 9, stamp 10 — free pint of Eternal at the Holborn Whippet. Felt like the 1990s in the best way.

MARCUS, 35Holborn · Drinker

"

Saw a pub stocking us, two miles up the road, never knew. Pints turned a one-off keg into a regular line.

LEX, 39Founder, Boxcar Brewery

"

It's the only app on my phone that's made me leave the house. Most apps do the opposite. Cheers, Pints.

What The Landlord Gets Asked at the Bar

THE LANDLORD'S Q&A

Six questions, chalked up over the bar. Honest answers.

Q.

"So what is Pints, really — another delivery app?"

Not at all. Pints is a pub guidebook for your phone — a live tap list of what's on at every UK pub right now, a loyalty card that works across the lot of them, and a monthly crate that posts six cracking cans through your letterbox. We don't deliver pints. We get you to the pub.

Q.

"Is it free? What's the catch with The Round and The Crate?"

The Pint tier's free, forever — no card, no trial timer. The Round is £4.99/month for double-stamp Tuesdays, brewery cards and tap-takeover early access. The Crate is £24/month including UK postage for six 440ml cans from six different breweries. Both pause or cancel from the app in two taps.

Q.

"How do you know what's actually pouring tonight?"

The landlord tells us. Every pub on Pints has a Cellar Console — the landlord or cellarman drags new kegs in, kicks empties out, sets prices. The Hare on Bethnal Green updates theirs in eight seconds. Pubs without console access get crowd-sourced from logged-in punters; we cross-check three sightings before publishing.

Q.

"Does my regular get behind the bar for free?"

Pints is free for independent pubs and breweries, always. No revenue share, no listing fee, no premium-placement gaming. We charge punters (£4.99 for The Round, £24 for The Crate) and brewery partners pay a flat sponsorship for featured roundels. Your pub gets the cellar console, the loyalty stamp, and footfall data at zero cost.

Q.

"What about a quiet country pub with one cask and no Wi-Fi?"

Still works. The landlord updates from their phone over 4G. Or they text a number and we transcribe. Or a single punter snaps the chalkboard, we OCR it, and update the tap list in 30 seconds. We've onboarded pubs from the Isle of Skye to Cornish fishing villages. If it's got a beer engine, it's got a slot.

Q.

"Will my data get sold to the big lager companies?"

No. We're independent — backed by Cellar Ventures and our 94K members. We don't share individual data with any brand, brewer or chain. The breweries we work with see aggregate (e.g. "12% more pours at Bethnal Green pubs this month") never individual records. Read the small print — it's two pages, in English, no dark patterns.

Still got a question? [email protected] — answered by humans, usually before last orders.
