Perks for members

One pass unlocks member perks across the district — free admission, something on the house, a late-night deal. Every one of the 13 partners offers its own.

Foot traffic for venues

We promote what you've got going on and send members to your door. You set the perk; we tell everyone. It stacks on top of any rewards program you already run.

Perks worth the pass.

Every venue sets its own perk. The best ones are simple — free admission, something on the house, a deal when the bars let out.

For venues

Like a bar crawl, every night.

When a bar crawl company sends hundreds of people down a strip, it asks venues one question: what special will you run for them? Grove Social works the same way, year-round. We promote everything you've got going on, push it to phones in the neighborhood, and send members through your door.

You decide the perk. Joining costs nothing, there's no hardware, and nothing replaces the rewards program you already run — Grove Social stacks on top and sends it customers.

The market

A walkable nightlife district, ready for a shared product.

The Grove sits on Manchester Avenue between Kingshighway and Vandeventer in St. Louis. Half a mile of independent bars, restaurants, queer nightlife, and music rooms — already a destination, with no single place that promotes everything happening on the strip.

Grove Social is built for districts exactly like this: concentrated, independent, undercapitalized vs. national chains — and stronger together than apart. Promote the whole district free to everyone; sell a perks pass on top. Once The Grove is proven, the same playbook applies to any neighborhood.

See it in action.
