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 make tonight. SCAN YOUR SHELF Take one photo 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. Duplicates stack with a count, and a long press lets you 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 goes to the Cellar rather than 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. THE PANTRY Syrups, sodas, juices and bitters get a room of their own, each one showing the drinks it is used in. FIND THE DRINK Your bar is matched against hundreds of recipes, classics plus seasonal drops, growing every month as members add 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 one bottle that unlocks the most new drinks on your shelf. THE BARKEEP Our AI bartender, and chatting with it is free on every account. It reads your real inventory, so it only suggests drinks you can make. It writes the whole 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 IT 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. ALSO IN THE APP 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. Cocktail history: origin stories for the classics. Export your bar as a spreadsheet, because your bar is yours. A dark theme built for evening use. 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. Top Shelf comes monthly, yearly, or once for lifetime. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless auto renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and it can be managed or cancelled in your Apple ID settings. The lifetime option is a one time purchase and never renews. Please enjoy responsibly. Home Bar Hero is for adults of legal drinking age.

What’s new

Version 4.1.9 · Updated October 18, 2026

Which one? Add a brand that comes in more than one bottle, like Woodford Reserve or Orphan Barrel, and the app now asks which one you have before it lands on your shelf. Pick from the list, or keep the name you typed. Bottle names, the same on every shelf. Every bottle now carries one house name, so the same bottle reads the same on your bar, on other bars, and in rarity counts.
