VERDICT

Pourwall Review

Worth it

Should I use Pourwall?

Digital beverage menus on TVs for bars, breweries, and taprooms - pourwall.com

· 2 days ago

Buy it if you run a taproom, bar, or brewery and just want a good-looking menu on a TV cheaply — a single-TV tap list is free. Skip it if you need keg inventory, analytics, or consumer-facing marketing; DigitalPour or Untappd fit better.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~12 usable public sources; many search hits were unrelated construction or paint-pour pages and were discarded. Paid-tier prices not visible in evidence.

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Free plan covers one TV only; extra screens need a paid plan, prices not shown in sources

medium

Vendor's own docs cover Chromecast/Fire TV devices dropping the menu — expect occasional reconnects

medium

Feature set is thin versus Untappd or DigitalPour; you trade data and reach for simplicity

low

Referral program awards free months, not cash — free usage depends on referrals

What users say

Brewing-community users call it cheap and satisfyingly simple, though feature-light compared with Untappd and similar rivals.

“I've used pourwall.com in the past and was very satisfied. Its functionality is limited, but considering other options, it's cheap.”

“Take a look at POURWALL. We ditched UnTapped...”

Free, dead-simple TV beer menu for small taprooms. Feature-limited — skip if you need inventory data or consumer reach.
