The BruYou app (Apple Store, Google Play) now provides the opportunity to buy friends and family a beer at four Conshohocken and West Conshohocken bars and restaurants. They are:

• Baggataway Tavern
• Flanigan’s Boathouse
• Gypsy Saloon
• Southern Cross Kitchen
• Plus, numerous other locations in the region

The easy-to-use app allows you to choose a friend from your contacts, select from participating bars and restaurants, and then pick a beer from a menu. Your friend is then notified that you have bought them a beer at the specific location with details on how to redeem it.

While the app was conceived pre-COVID, its use fit with the restrictions put in place during the pandemic. If you knew a friend was out for dinner for his or her birthday, but you couldn’t join the celebration, you could still participate by sending a celebratory drink.

With the pandemic restrictions for bars and restaurants set to end on May 31st, the app offers a great opportunity to support the recovering hospitality industry and welcome friends back out with a free beer.
