About Home Bar Hero

Your home bar, unlocked. Spirits and Wine.

Home Bar Hero turns the bottles you already own into a cocktail menu. Snap a photo or search, and every bottle you add reveals new drinks you can actually make tonight.

BUILD YOUR BAR
Stock your bar in seconds. Take one photo of your shelf and AI identifies up to 10 bottles at once, then paints each one as art, so the bar in the app looks like the bar in your kitchen. Duplicate bottles stack with a count, and you can long press to arrange the shelf the way it actually sits at home.

THE CELLAR: A PLACE FOR YOUR WINE
Scan a wine bottle and the app reads the producer, the varietal, the region, and the year off the label, because for wine the vintage is part of which bottle it is. Your wine lands in the Cellar rather than on the spirits shelf, racked by when it wants to be opened. Tap a bottle and it flips over to a researched back label: what it tastes like, what to eat with it, and the window when it drinks best. Ask what to open tonight and the answer comes from your own rack.

DISCOVER WHAT TO MAKE
Your bar is matched against hundreds of recipes, classics plus seasonal drops, growing every month as members share their own. See what you can pour right now, what you are one bottle away from, and the near misses tagged "Ready, with a sub" with the swap that works. Smart Buy names the single bottle that unlocks the most new drinks on your shelf.

THE BARKEEP, YOUR AI BARTENDER
Chatting with the Barkeep is free on every account. It reads your actual inventory, so it only suggests drinks you can make. It writes the complete recipe right in the chat, measurements and method and glass and garnish, with one tap to save. It checks real published recipes when you want the canonical version of a classic, reads photos of bottles and menus, remembers the conversation, and can stock a bottle for you without you leaving the chat.

THE OPEN BAR
One room every member shares, not a feed. Read the conversation, the tasting notes, the threads, and the Barkeep answering out loud, free on any account. Lurking is welcome. Top Shelf supporters pull up a stool and post.

SHARE YOUR BAR
Friends pull up a stool at your bar as Regulars and see the recipes you choose to share. Every recipe is private by default and you pick the audience per drink. Build drink menus and your guests browse them from one QR code, no app and no login needed. Earn badges as you go.

MORE OF WHAT IT DOES
Flavor Lab: dial in a taste with sliders and the app invents a complete, balanced cocktail, using only your own bottles if you like.
Menu scanner: photograph a restaurant drink list and get the drinks back as real recipes.
Recipe packs: a themed drop of drinks you flip through, save, and make, with more on the way.

FREE TO START, FAIR FOREVER
No ads. The free tier is a real bar, not a demo: bottle scanning, recipe matching, free chat with the Barkeep, daily AI credits, painted shelf art, saved recipes, badges, a shareable drink menu, and the whole Open Bar to read. The optional Top Shelf upgrade adds a bigger daily AI allowance, your whole bar and cellar painted, as many drink menus as you want, the party hosting tools, and a stool in the Open Bar. Top Shelf is how supporters keep the app running for everybody else.

Whether you are a seasoned mixologist or just getting started, Home Bar Hero helps you make better drinks with what you already have.
