Free Website Build on Annual Plans

Your Regulars Already Love You. Your Website Should Help Everyone Else Find You.

Most bar and pub websites are a Facebook page with last call listed wrong and a menu photo from three phones ago. WorkspaceCMS is more than a website builder. It's a growth agency that starts by building your bar site for free: a professionally designed, Google-optimized site that pours the same first impression your taproom does, fast and packed the moment it goes live. Post tonight's specials, swap the tap list, or add Friday's live music in a few clicks from your dashboard, or send a quick change to our team. And when you're ready to fill more seats, a growth campaign puts a full growth team to work on your content, local SEO, and AI visibility, so you can stay behind the bar where you belong.

★ Free AI Visibility Check

When someone asks AI for a bars & pub near them, does your name come up?

ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity only recommend sites they can read. Most small-business sites fail that test. Scan yours free and see exactly where you stand.

Built for your industry

Every feature your bar website needs

WorkspaceCMS ships with tools built specifically for local businesses, not bolt-on plugins.

Live Tap & Drink List That's Always Current

A searchable, section-by-section list of what's on tap, your cocktail menu, and the bottle list, updated the second a keg blows or a seasonal rotates. PDFs are dead; structured drink pages rank on Google and look sharp on a phone at the door.

Events & Live Music Calendar

Trivia nights, live bands, DJ sets, game-day watch parties, and holiday events all live on a real calendar guests can browse and share, not a story that vanishes in 24 hours. Fresh event pages give Google new reasons to send you traffic every week.

Private-Event & Party Booking Inquiry

A dedicated buyout and party page with a structured inquiry form captures group size, date, budget, and drink preferences, turning a birthday, corporate happy hour, or bachelorette into a booked reservation your team can prep for.

Table Reservations — OpenTable & Resy Ready

Embed your OpenTable, Resy, or Tock widget straight into your site so guests lock in a table or a booth for the game the moment they decide. Or use the online booking built in on Growth, Premium and Ultra, which puts every reservation in your dashboard and on your Google Calendar.

Atmosphere & Crowd Photo Gallery

A packed patio, a perfect pour, a lit-up back bar. High-impact galleries that load fast and look stunning on mobile sell the night before anyone walks in. People choose a bar on vibe, and your Instagram shouldn't be the only place they feel it.

Kitchen & Food Menu Pages

Wings, shareables, a full kitchen menu, happy-hour bites: structured menu pages organized by section, updated by our team whenever the card changes. Guests planning dinner-and-drinks find exactly what they're after without squinting at a photo.

Hours, Happy Hour & Map That Are Always Right

Accurate hours, happy-hour windows, kitchen close times, and an embedded map cut down the 'are you open?' calls and give first-timers the confidence to make the trip, the small details that decide whether someone shows up tonight.

Local SEO for "Bar Near Me" & "Best Pub in [City]"

We structure every page, title tag, and behind-the-scenes signal Google reads to target the exact searches your future regulars are typing ('bar near me', 'best pub in [city]', 'sports bar [neighborhood]'), built to compete with the aggregators stealing your clicks.

Platform feature

On every plan

Built to be found on Google and in AI answers

The site for your bar launches with the on-page SEO and AI visibility work already done, so people searching for “bar near me” can find you and assistants like ChatGPT can read and recommend you.

Managed platform

When something breaks, you do not go looking for a developer

On WordPress and other open platforms, the host blames the plugin, the plugin blames the theme, and everyone tells you to hire someone. There is no one whose job it is to fix your site. Here there is exactly one, and fixing it is not a line item.

What is covered: anything that breaks on our side. The platform, the hosting, the code, the templates, security patches.

What is not: brand-new work such as a new integration, a new template, or a redesign, and outages at a vendor you own such as your registrar or your MLS feed. Those get scoped and quoted.

See exactly what is included

New: lead generation

We host it, we optimize it, and now we help bring the leads in

Our lead generation tool, Signal, reads public conversations on Reddit, community forums, YouTube, LinkedIn and X, finds people asking for what you sell, and puts them in your dashboard while the conversation is still live, with a note on why each one is worth a reply. It never posts or messages anyone for you.

An add-on for Growth, Premium and Ultra, not part of the plan price. Your first scan is free. After that it is $20 a scan, or 15 scans for $249/mo.

See how lead generation works

Enterprise is a different process: full custom design, Figma mockups first, and a dedicated project manager from kickoff to launch. See Enterprise, from $999/mo →

Billed monthly (annual optional). Free site build included. See full pricing details →

AI features use AI Credits from your plan’s monthly allowance, and each AI action shows its cost before you run it. Anything you do by hand, without AI, doesn’t use credits. See the AI Credit Schedule.

FAQ

Questions,
answered.

What should a bar or pub website include?

A bar website needs at minimum: a homepage that captures your atmosphere, a current tap and drink list (not a PDF), an events calendar, accurate hours and happy-hour times with an embedded map, and a photo gallery. Higher-performing sites also include a kitchen menu, a private-event inquiry page, and a table reservation widget. WorkspaceCMS builds all of this into a single, fast-loading site optimized for both guests and Google.

Do I need a website if I'm already on Google, Yelp, and Instagram?

Yes, absolutely. Google, Yelp, and Instagram are discovery tools, not your brand. They control your layout, they show your competitors right next to you, and they can't tell your full story or list this weekend's events the way you'd want. Your own website is where a curious searcher becomes tonight's customer: they see the taps, feel the atmosphere, and reserve a table without leaving your brand. A strong, technically sound site also supports the signals those platforms use to evaluate your business.

Can guests reserve a table through my website?

Yes. Online booking is built in on Growth, Premium and Ultra, and we integrate your existing OpenTable, Resy, or Tock account directly into your site so the widget appears on your homepage, events pages, and private-event page. If you don't use a reservation platform yet, we can connect a simple inquiry form that routes to your inbox or host stand. Either way, guests can lock in a table or a booth without picking up the phone.

How do I keep my tap list and events current without a webmaster?

You update them yourself in your WorkspaceCMS dashboard in a couple of clicks. Swap a keg that blew, add Friday's band, or bump last call, and it's live immediately. Prefer to hand it off? Send our team a quick message and the change goes live within your plan's turnaround (4 business days on Essentials, 2 on Growth, 1 on Premium). No re-uploading a PDF, no builder to learn, no freelancer to chase down.

How do I rank for 'bar near me' searches in my city?

Local bar SEO depends on three things: a fast, mobile-friendly website; code that tells Google what you are and where you are; and consistent signals across your Google Business Profile, site, and on-page structured data. WorkspaceCMS puts a technically sound SEO foundation in place from launch, optimizing your title tags and building location-specific pages, so you're built to be found for 'bar near me', 'best pub in [city]', and 'sports bar [neighborhood]'. To actively climb for the most competitive terms, a growth campaign puts our team on ongoing local SEO.

Can I promote private events and buyouts on my website?

Yes, and you should. Private parties and buyouts are some of the highest-margin business a bar has, and most operators bury them in a footer link. We build a dedicated private-event page with photography, capacity details, sample drink packages, and a structured inquiry form that captures everything your team needs to close a birthday, corporate happy hour, or holiday party.

How fast can you build a bar or pub website?

Most bar and pub sites on WorkspaceCMS go live within a few business days. Any 12-month plan includes the full site build at no extra cost. We handle design, copywriting, image sourcing, and launch. All we need from you is your tap and food menus, a few brand details, and the green light. Essentials, Growth and Premium are backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, counted from the day we deliver your first design.
