LuckyBars for Facebook Feb 5, 2010

The first and only Bar Search & Drinking Event Community Coordination application for Facebook. Set up a drinking event with your friends, suggest a bar, or simply “Find a bar” through tagged, location-based search features and Google Mapped results!

Utilizing an already robust Database of Bars across America (23,000 and counting), the development team at LuckyBars offers mapped results to your favorite bars and certainly a few new ones you didn’t know about. Can’t find your bar, add one to the growing database.

Sure to please the community-base, LuckyBars on Facebook touts a powerful, dynamic, and ordered Bar Search Function allowing for comprehensive, crowd-sourced search results (See below):

  • Bar
  • Bar Type
  • Location
  • Mood (tag clouds, EX: )
  • Crowd Type
  • Cost

Ok, so it’s a Facebook Application right? Indeed, which means that we have a social network to utilize. We wanted to allow the user a full range of opportunities to interact with friends through features such as wall-post bar suggestions, “my top five” bars + “my top five” drinks, and Drinking Event posts that seamlessly integrate with your other “sober” Facebook events. And remember to take lots of photos, tag them and upload them to the bar’s profile page! Several other features we are thrilled to offer is a LuckyBars “Bar of the Week” as well as a “Drink of the day.”

NO, we aren’t building in any Spam-style games or offers, however you are able to post your favoirte bars on your facebook wall or in a message to one of your friends.

BAR SEARCH: Nufish concepted a “Facebook Friendly” bar search form utilizing the pre-existing LuckyBars Bar Database (over 23,000 US bars). We brought in one added feature to the search that now includes “tags” giving the user an ability to look for a bar from crowd-sourced, human aggregated data.

FACEBOOK CONNECT: This feature allows LuckyBars users to seamlessly “connect” their Facebook account and information with the LuckyBars site. Users can also onnect and find their friends who also use the LuckyBars website. These users then share information and actions on Luckybars.com with their friends on Facebook, thus creating more traffic and promotion surrounding LuckyBars.

EVENTS INTEGRATION: Nufish has developed it’s own brand of LuckyBars “Drinking/Bar Events” that is combined and integrated with the pre-existing facebook events feature. This of course will tie into the LuckyBars facebook friend network.

TOP FIVE BARS!

Remember you can always whet your whistle over at the Web version (LuckyBars | beta) to gain a better understanding of how it all works. And of course we are pushing Lucky Bars to the Mobile realms too! Stay tuned for more updates on LuckyBars for iPhone, Android and Blackberry.

Cheers!
