SceneTap App Launches in Chicago

SceneTap, a Chicago startup, launches today with what it calls "the biggest party of the year," taking place at 50+ Chicago bars.

The launch was announced with a four-page full color cover on today's RedEye, a free daily newspaper published by Tribune Company. 50 spotlights will be lighting up the sky to mark the locations of participating bars, and drink specials from Bacardi and Goose Island will be available to SceneTap users at every venue. Joe's Bar on Weed St. will kick off the party with some great musical guests.

SceneTap is a free app for iPhone, Android and the web that gives you real-time info on the scene at your favorite bars, including male-to-female ratio, average age, crowd size, atmosphere and exclusive deals. You can integrate your SceneTap profile with your Facebook and Twitter accounts, and join the chat on your favorite bar’s profile page.

In attendance at the launch party central at Joe's Bar on Weed St will be members of the 1985 Chicago Bears Super Bowl team (Dan Hampton, Steve McMichael, Keith Van Horne and Otis Wilson), current Bear Charles Tillman and Blackhawks players Jonathan Toews and Brent Seabrook.
