The app was designed and built by me, Tyler, as a side project to explore a fun way to utilize Uber's new ride request API functionality. I'd love your feedback.
The app combines Yelp and Uber to take you to a highly rated bar. Input your location, Uber whisks you to a random (but always top Yelp-rated) bar, which isn't revealed until Uber drops you off. Enjoy the adventure and try to guess where you're headed. It even checks to make sure the bar is open so it works on Saturday morning...I won't judge.
@bcjordan Yes, even after spending so much time building it I was surprised at how much fun it was to try and guess what bar I was headed to in the Uber. Also, the Uber driver started guessing when I explained that I didn't know what bar was at the end of the coordinates he had.
@rrhoover haha, no pressure if your date doesn't like the bar. I thought it would be fun to add a "Fancy" setting that only looks for $$$$ bars and sends an Uber Escalade.
I'm now the Product Manager on the Uber API (developer.uber.com) and we thought that this was a really fun app from the Hackathon! Well done Tyler. Let me know if we can be helpful in any way.
@eric_seufert native app is currently in the works. The web version was so I could get something out there a bit quicker and get feedback.

Love this!

Very cool @tylerswartz. I can't wait to try it out! If it takes off and you want to monotize, you can try partnering with some of the highly rated bars to get promoter fees. Similiar model to Grouper (If they are still around?).
