For pubs & bars

A website
for your pub.Free forever.

Most pubs don't have a website. The rest have one that hasn't been updated since 2019, or a Facebook page that nobody can find. Claim your pub on PubCrawl and you get a real page — your hours, your menu, your photos, your reviews — that ranks on Google and works on a phone. It costs nothing. It always will.

No card. No contract. Takes about 5 minutes.

What most pubs have today

We looked at every pub on Albert Road in Southsea. This is the honest split.

Right now

  • No website at all, or a domain that expired
  • A Facebook page with last year's Christmas menu pinned to the top
  • Hours on Google that are wrong on bank holidays
  • Menu as a photo of a chalkboard, taken at an angle
  • No way for a group of 12 to know if they'll get served
  • Reviews scattered across four sites you don't control

With PubCrawl

  • A page on a domain that Google already trusts
  • Hours you edit in seconds, live everywhere instantly
  • Your full drinks menu with prices, properly typed out
  • Your photos, full width, on a page built for phones
  • Your reviews, in one place, and you can reply
  • Your pub shown to people planning a night out nearby

What you get

Everything on this list is free, permanently. Paid extras exist further down the page, but nothing on this list ever moves into them.

Hours that are actually right

Change them from your phone behind the bar. Bank holidays, early closes, a burst pipe — update it once and it's correct on your page and in the app.

Your menu, hosted free

Drinks and food, with prices, ABV and measures. Send us a photo of your board and we'll type it up for you the first time. Google shows menu prices directly in results.

Photos that fill the screen

Upload as many as you like. No watermark, no crop that cuts your sign in half.

Reviews you can reply to

Every review is from someone who was actually there — they checked in on a crawl. Reply publicly, or flag anything that breaks the rules.

Groups walking past your door

PubCrawl users plan routes between pubs. A claimed pub with good hours and a menu gets picked for those routes — that's a table of eight, not one person.

Your own numbers, free

How many people viewed your pub, when they looked, which nights they came, and how many crawls routed through you. Your venue's own figures, free in the dashboard, with no time limit. Comparing yourself against other pubs nearby is a separate paid add-on — see below — and you never need it to run your page.

£0

Per month · forever

Not a trial, not a first-year discount, not free until we change our minds. The page, your opening hours, menu hosting, photos, review replies and your venue's own numbers are free permanently.

Claim your pub

Why would we do that?

Because a pub crawl app is only as good as the pub information in it. If your hours are wrong, someone walks to a locked door and blames us. Accurate pubs make the app worth using — so getting you to keep your own page up to date is worth more to us than any fee we could charge you for it.

We make money from people who pay for premium features in the app, and from optional extras for venues. None of those extras are required, and none of them affect your free page.

Questions

Is it really free, or free for now?

Really free. The page, your opening hours, menu hosting, photos, review replies and your venue's own numbers have no cost and no time limit. Paid extras do exist — benchmarking against other local pubs, sponsored placement in routes, offers pushed to nearby users — but they are genuinely extra. The page you claim today keeps working exactly as it does today.

Which analytics are free, and which ones are paid?

Everything about your own pub is free forever: page views, when people looked, which nights they came, how many crawls routed through you, and your review activity. What we charge for is comparison — benchmarking your numbers against other pubs in your area — because that is only possible from data across the whole local market. Your own venue's figures never move behind that.

Do I need a website already?

No. Most pubs that claim a page don't have one, and that's the point. If you do have a site, link it — your PubCrawl page will point people to it.

How do you know it's my pub?

We check. Usually a licence, a utility bill at the address, or an email on the pub's own domain. It takes a day or two and we'll tell you if we need something else.

Can I take my page down?

You can unclaim it whenever you like and we'll remove your edits. The pub itself stays listed with basic public information, the same as it would on any map.

Will it rank on Google?

Your page sits on a domain with tens of thousands of other pub pages, with proper structured data for hours, menu and reviews. It is far more likely to rank for "<your pub> opening times" than a Facebook page is. It is not a replacement for a Google Business Profile — keep that too, and link them.

What if I don't want pub crawls in my pub?

Tell us and we'll take your venue out of route generation — email hello@thepubcrawlapp.com and it's done manually, same day. You keep the free page, menu and hours either way. A self-serve toggle for this is on the roadmap; until it ships we are not going to pretend it is a button you can press.
