A social game for NYC bar-goers.
Scan a receipt. Stake your claim. Rule your neighborhood. Bar Barons turns your nights out into a citywide competition — verified visits, friendly rivalries, and thrones worth defending.
On-device OCR confirms you were actually there. Apple's Vision framework reads the receipt locally — no faking, no manual check-ins.
Become Baron of a bar (most visits citywide) or Lord of a neighborhood (most visits in your patch). Defend your title, or take someone else's.
Newcomer → Patron → Regular. Every verified visit pushes you up a bar's ladder. Show off where you actually drink.
Mutual-confirm friends to see each other's activity in a shared feed. Compare turfs, plan a night, settle who really runs the East Village.
All five NYC boroughs plus Westchester County — dive bars, cocktail rooms, beer gardens, neighborhood mainstays. From the East Village to St. George to Yonkers.
