Pub Scout

Pub Scout shows you pubs and bars that are open around you so you're never lost after last orders has been called. You can also find venues simply by holding down and releasing a point on the map, or by entering a location or pub name. For something more specific, you can search by events, features and opening times.

We are constantly updating our database to make sure you have full pub and bar coverage wherever you are. At the moment, we're mainly London-based but if you can't wait, just hit the logo on the main screen of the app and select "Contact Us" to send us an email with a pub or area you want to see included on Pub Scout.

Discover places not just to eat and drink, but also to be entertained, compete in a pub quiz, take your children along to, and more.

Pub Scout’s Guide to Good Times does all this and more:

What sets Pub Scout out from Fancyapint, Beer In The Evening or similar websites and apps is that all our listings have opening and closing times, and where available, features and events. So whether it's a nice cold continental pint you're after or a proper ale, Pub Scout will show you where to go. Even if you're after the football in 3D, somewhere with darts, a pool table, beer garden, jukebox or comedy, Pub Scout will do it's best to take you to what you're after.

A couple more points to note – we only ever display a certain number of pubs to make Pub Scout work a bit faster and get you somewhere even when you're relatively low on connectivity. If you want to search another area, just hold and release that part of the map.

Our Twitter feed can be slow at times; sadly we can't control how much data is fetched so all we can ask is please be patient. It does work, but less likely if you have low connectivity.

And lastly, enjoy Pub Scout. A Guide to Good Times!
