BarsForUs.com and Startup Weekend to be Featured on NBC this Friday

Take the Guesswork out of Finding Great Bars!
The business I was involved with launching is called BarsForUs.com, an application used for finding detailed information on local bars. Using an on-the-fly tagging system, you can narrow local bars down according to your interests and have their descriptions and location delivered instantly.
