How it works

No stars, no typing numbers. Three steps, and your list sorts itself.

  1. 01

    Log the place

    Pick the bar, cocktail bar, coffee shop, boba spot or club you're in, and tally what you drank.

  2. 02

    Swipe to rank

    Coaster puts it head-to-head with places you've already rated in the same category, and you swipe for the better one.

  3. 03

    Get a score

    The score comes from where it lands, so your favorite bar is a 10.0, and so is your favorite coffee shop.

Ambiance

The ambiance radar

Every session also records how the room felt, on three sliders: mellow to lively, cozy to sleek, classy to creative. Coaster draws them as a hexagon.

Ambiance radar A hexagon with six poles, clockwise from the top: mellow, sleek, creative, lively, cozy, classy. This room leans mellow (78), cozy (64) and creative (71). MELLOW SLEEK CREATIVE LIVELY COZY CLASSY
A slow Tuesday at a record bar.
  • MELLOW lively
  • COZY sleek
  • CREATIVE classy

Each row is one slider. Its two ends sit on opposite corners of the hexagon.

Why the axes are bipolar

Every slider is one line through the middle of the hexagon, with its two ends on opposite vertices. Slide toward mellow and the lively corner pulls in by exactly as much, so the shape can't say a room is both.

Why ambiance never moves the score

Lively is not a synonym for good. The radar describes the room; the score comes only from your head-to-head picks. A hushed pour-over bar can still be your 10.0.

The feed

Coasters, not feeds

When a friend logs a session, it lands in your feed as a coaster: a card the night sits on. Where they went, where it ranks for them, how the room felt, what they drank, and one photo.

No ads between rounds. Just the places your friends actually went.

The Juniper Room

What Maya drank: 2 cocktails, 1 highball and 1 water.

Two cocktails on paper coasters on a dim wooden bar top.

Notes: Got the last two stools before the rush. The brown sugar old fashioned is worth the wait.

24 hours

Loose Lips last a day

Short posts for things you'd only say tonight. Each one disappears 24 hours after you post it, and only mutuals — people who follow each other both ways — can see it.

Good for last-call plans, a bartender's name, or which boba place has brown sugar back in stock.
