Take the guesswork out of finding Raleigh’s best bars. Bars For Us,
at barsforus.com, has created an easy way for people to find bars
using the criteria most important to them. Bar listings are displayed
on a map and change dynamically as people refine their search. At the
same time bars can pay Bars For Us to display advertisements and extra
information about their special nights, offers and drink specials. In
later evolutions Bars For Us will allow people to register to follow
and share their favorite bars, and bars will be able to register to
deliver highly targeted and relevant promotions to their followers. In
summary, Bars For Us solves the problem of how people find the best
bars for them and how bars can promote and advertise themselves, using
a simple to use user-interface and a detailed database of information
about bars.
