Pairchute Review
A $9.99-a-month pass that turns Los Angeles bars and restaurants into a rotating buffet of free food and half-off drinks.
Once you pay the $9.99, Los Angeles opens up for you.
Our reviewerA Small Monthly Fee That Unlocks a City's Worth of Deals
Pairchute — yes, it's Pair-chute — is a Los Angeles deals app built around one paid pass rather than a free directory. For $9.99 a month, subscribers unlock a rotating set of daily offers at bars and restaurants across the city, and we came away thinking the fee is well worth what it unlocks.
Anyone can browse the free version of the app to see which spots are trending, but the real value sits behind the Pairchute Pass. Once you're in, the perks are concrete: half-off drinks at Library Bar, free house-cut fries with them, and a growing roster that already includes Sixth Street Tavern, Fritzi, LA Biergarten, The Church Key, and Bao Dim Sum.
Redemptions are capped at once a day, which keeps the model sustainable but also means the pass rewards regulars more than occasional users. New members can soften the entry cost with the promo code HAPPY5, which cuts the first month in half, and a referral code hidden a couple of menu taps deep lets you pass a discount on to friends.
Pairchute is currently Los Angeles-only, but apps built this way tend to expand fast. For anyone already going out regularly in LA, the math is simple: one round of drinks and a plate of fries can already cover most of the monthly fee.
Why We Love It
- One paid pass unlocks daily deals across a growing list of LA bars and restaurants
- Real, specific perks — half-off drinks and free food at spots like Library Bar
Considerations
- Deals are capped at one redemption per day
- Only available in Los Angeles for now
- Update (dead-destination-sweep-2026-07): our affiliate link for this specific offer is currently down (the tracking/redirect no longer resolves to the merchant), so treat the code/offer above as unconfirmed until it's restored -- we're leaving the page up rather than deleting it.
Our Hands-On Review
We put the Pairchute Pass to work at Library Bar, where the app's headline perks held up: half-off drinks plus a free order of house-cut fries.
Beyond that one spot, the app's browsing mode made it easy to scout what else was trending nearby — Sixth Street Tavern, Fritzi, LA Biergarten, The Church Key, and Bao Dim Sum all showed up as options with their own current offers.
Finding the Referral Code
The referral program isn't front and center — open the menu button in the top-left corner of the app, then look for the access code screen to find your personal code and share it with friends.
