We Met at a Bar

For couples who met over a drink

A lot of good stories start with one more drink. Type the name of the bar and the city, and the streets around it draw into a poster with your names and the night you met.

From $25 at the launch price. Free US shipping.

  3. See it, then orderThe preview is the file we print, at 300 dpi. Printed in California and shipped to your door or theirs.

Why the bar

Nobody plans to meet their person at a bar on a Tuesday, which is why the story is fun to tell.

The map keeps the place even after the bar closes. That happens more than you would think, and the poster becomes the only thing with its name on it.

If the bar is gone

Use the old address

Bars close and change names. If the search does not find it, type the street address it was at. The streets are still there.

Or the corner

Two cross streets and the city also work, for example Larimer and 15th, Denver.

Put the name on the poster

The line under your names is yours to write. Put the bar name there, even if the place is gone.

A gift for the regulars

If you met at your local, this makes a good gift for the friends who were there that night too.

Questions

The bar closed years ago. Can you still map it?

Yes. Type the street address it used to have, or the nearest intersection. The map is built from today's streets around that point.

Will the bar name show on the map?

The map shows streets, parks and water, without business names. Write the bar name in your own line under the names.

Will it look like the preview?

Yes. The preview in the editor is the file we print, at 300 dpi. At checkout you can open it full size and read every letter.

What if the place is not on today's maps?

Type it the way you remember it. If it is gone (a bar that closed, a street that was renamed), we show the town around it and the poster keeps the name you typed. For the exact spot, type its old street address.

When does it arrive?

Each poster is made to order and printed in California. US orders arrive in 4 to 8 business days, framed or not. We email tracking the day it ships.
