Welcome to The FunZone Saloon — your favorite virtual watering hole where everyone’s invited to belly up to the bar, spark a little mischief, and join the fun.

I built this place for one reason: to show bar owners exactly how today’s guests want to connect — and how you can turn that connection into community, loyalty, and sales.

Because here’s the truth every bartender knows in their bones: People don’t just go to bars for drinks… they go for belonging. And nothing creates that feeling faster than seeing yourself on the big screen.

That’s why the FunZone Saloon runs on BarSelfie — the digital signage platform that turns everyday guests into the stars of the show. When patrons snap a selfie, it pops up on the screens alongside your cocktails, merch, and events. Screens stay fresh. Your bar stays lively. And your customers? They stay longer, spend more, and tell their friends.

At FunZone, every selfie, every promo slide, every moment is a chance to build community — and I want bar owners to see exactly how effortless it can be. Think of this site as your behind-the-bar demo:

This is what your bar could look like when your guests help sell the vibes for you.

So grab a virtual stool, sip something cold, and explore the FunZone. If you like what you see, just imagine what BarSelfie could do inside your bar — on your screens, your website, and your menu of unforgettable nights.

Welcome to the FunZone Saloon. Where the fun is real, even if the bar isn’t.

BarSelfie is a simple customer-first digital display that builds loyalty and drives sales.

This TV used to show ESPN. Now it sells cocktails. This TV used to show ESPN.
Now it sells cocktails. 🍸📺

Same bar.
Same bartender.
Same crowd.

The only thing that changed?
What’s on the screen.

Instead of dead air between games, this bar runs:
• Drink features
• Happy hour reminders
• Customer selfies
• Event promos

Screens shouldn’t be wallpaper.
They should work the room.

That’s what BarSelfie does.

“Dive Bar” isn’t an insult. It’s a reputation you “Dive Bar” isn’t an insult.
It’s a reputation you earn. 🍺

Low lights. Loud laughs. Regulars with assigned stools they were never assigned.
That’s not a branding problem — that’s your edge.

The mistake?
Trying to polish grit into gloss.

The move?
Own it. Amplify it. Market it.

They’re the reason your bar works.

When people see themselves on your screens, something changes.
They don’t just visit — they belong.

That’s why the smartest bars don’t fill their TVs with generic content.
They celebrate the people who actually show up.

Familiar faces.
Shared moments.
Instant connection.

When locals feel seen, they stay longer, come back sooner, and bring friends.

Your bar doesn’t need more merch. It needs one dam Your bar doesn’t need more merch.
It needs one damn good T-shirt.

The kind your regulars actually want to wear.
The kind that sparks conversations outside your bar.
The kind that turns customers into walking billboards.

A great bar tee isn’t about logos.
It’s about identity.

When people wear your shirt, they’re saying:
👉 “This is my place.”

That’s customer retention, you don’t have to discount.

📲 Client Spotlight: @Triple_Crown_Tavern — Growing 📲 Client Spotlight: @Triple_Crown_Tavern — Growing Their Instagram the Smart Way 

More followers doesn’t come from hashtags —
it comes from letting the people already in your bar know you’re on Instagram. 

Triple Crown Tavern fixed that instantly with BarSelfie.

They added simple promo slides to their screens:
✨ “Follow us for specials!”
✨ Their IG handle, clear and visible
✨ Food + cocktail photos from the bar itself

And here’s what happens when you do that:

Guests already in the building see it

They’re relaxed, scrolling, hanging out

And they follow — because they’re already enjoying your bar

Your TVs become your most powerful social media funnel.

Imagine every customer on a Friday night becoming an Instagram follower.
That’s what Triple Crown Tavern is doing… and it works.

🍸 Bar Marketing 101: What Makes Your Bar Worth Cho 🍸 Bar Marketing 101: What Makes Your Bar Worth Choosing?

Let’s be honest… All bars are selling the same thing. But the ones that stay packed? They’ve figured out one thing: Why customers should choose them over the place next door.

If you can’t answer that in one clear sentence, your marketing will always struggle — and customers won’t remember you.

Here’s the truth:
✨ People don’t choose bars because of cheap drinks.
✨ They choose bars because of identity, vibe, and connection.
✨ They come back because they feel like they belong.

Today’s Bar Marketing 101 is about getting crystal clear on your Unique Value Proposition — the thing that makes your bar impossible to copy. If you want to stand out in 2026, you have to stop blending in.
