Groove Social — Know the night before you go out

The problem

Every weekend, the group chat asks the same question.

"Where's everyone going?" And every weekend, somebody guesses wrong.

FRI · 11:38 PM

The $80 surprise

You Uber across town, walk up to the door, and find out the cover tripled an hour ago. Nobody told you — because nothing could.

SAT · 12:04 AM

The hour-long line

Half your night disappears standing on the sidewalk. Meanwhile the bar two blocks over has no wait and better drink specials.

SAT · 12:51 AM

The dead party

"It's gonna be huge" — it wasn't. You showed up to a flyer's promise, not the real thing. There was no way to check.

The Groove answer

Your whole night, live on one screen — covers, waits, vibes, and verified parties — before you leave the couch.

Four taps between you and a better night.

Only on Groove

Proof, not promises.

Anyone can hype a party. Verified Events make hosts prove it — with photo and video updates every 45 minutes, straight from the floor.

For partiers: see the actual vibe before you commit your night to it.

For hosts: live proof means bigger turnouts — people show up when they know it's real.

For everyone: the end of "it's gonna be huge, trust me."

"Used this app on Halloween. It shows live updates of all the bars — covers, deals, wait times. We saw Harper's was $80 and just went to Dublin Square for $20. Saved us the line and the money."

FAQ

Quick answers.

Completely. Downloading Groove, browsing venues, checking covers and wait times, and discovering events costs nothing. You only pay when you choose to buy something — like Instant Entry or a table reservation.

They're live. Updates come from venues and the Groove community throughout the night, so you're seeing the current price and the current line — not last week's flyer.

Hosts of verified events commit to posting photo or video updates every 45 minutes. Miss an update and the badge drops. That's how you know a verified party is actually live — and why verified events draw bigger crowds.

Redemptions are rolling out soon — free covers, drink specials, and deals at local restaurants. Points you earn now bank automatically, so the earlier you start, the more you'll have on day one.

Groove is on the iPhone App Store today. Android is on the roadmap — join the waitlist from the download section and you'll be first to know.

Reach out through the partner link below. Setup is fast: we get your venue live on the board, hand you the tools to post covers, specials, and wait times, and switch on Instant Entry and table bookings whenever you're ready.
