See the night before you leave the house

Every check-in lights up the map. Glance at HotSpot and know instantly which spots are dead, which ones are picking up, and which ones are about to pop, before you waste a cover charge finding out.

Free to use. Points turn into real perks

HotSpot is completely free — no subscription, ever. Just check in and earn points automatically. Stack enough and cash them in for real rewards: your cover charge paid, a free drink, or a chunk of a bottle service tab. The more you go out, the more the night owes you.

Everything else, without leaving the app

Book your Uber and get directions straight to the door, right from a venue's page. Every venue has its own live feed and chat — real photos and posts from people who were actually there tonight, not a five-year-old listing photo.
