The back bar, on every screen.
Live cocktail menus, happy-hour countdowns, and sport fixtures — all synced to the POS behind the bar.
Your bar already moves fast. Your signage should too.
A bar's menu isn't static — it reacts to the crowd, the season, the fixture on TV and the new gin rep who just left a free case. Paper menus can't keep up and handwritten chalkboards don't scale past one location. Hangar.Media connects to your POS (Toast, Square, Lightspeed Restaurant, Zonal Aztec, Tevalis, Revel, Epos Now) so your back-bar screens, drink lists and happy-hour countdowns all pull from the same single source of truth — the till.
Built for how bars & lounges actually run.
The capabilities that matter in this sector — concrete, specific, and backed by the integrations your team already uses.
A back-bar menu the mixologist can actually keep current.
Connect once to your POS and your cocktail list, specs, pricing and garnish notes populate your screens automatically. When the Campari arrives and the negroni comes back, it's on the screen within 30 seconds. When the rep-sample Mezcal runs dry, it disappears everywhere without anyone opening a laptop.
If the till knows the Negroni's back, the screen does too — no manager intervention.
- Live price and availability sync for every line-item in your POS
- Auto-hide for 86'd spirits, wines and draught lines as they run out
- Feature-cocktail rotation with chef-style photography and ingredient callouts
- Portrait back-bar layouts and landscape drink-list screens on the same network, scheduled independently
A countdown on every screen when 4pm hits.
Happy-hour menus, 2-for-1 screens and end-of-day specials swap in automatically on a schedule. The countdown itself — visible to the whole room — creates the urgency that moves orders from 'later maybe' to 'right now'. When happy hour ends, the standard menu returns without a manager touching anything.
The room sees the clock ticking. Bar sales rise 17% in the last 10 minutes.
- Up to 16 dayparts per day (pre-shift, happy hour, peak, late-menu, nightclub)
- Countdown timers visible to the room — not buried in a corner
- POS-locked discount codes so the price on screen is the price at the till
- Preview mode so you can see what any screen will show at 7pm without waiting
Tonight's fixtures. Tomorrow's fixtures. Next week's.
Sport boards pull live fixtures, kickoff times, and post-match scores from Sky Sports, Sportradar, StatsPerform and league APIs directly onto your screens. Premier League today, Six Nations this weekend, F1 Sunday. Guests don't have to ask bar staff what's on — the wall answers for them, and books them in for next weekend's derby while it does.
Guests arrive for the fixture they saw on your screen last Thursday.
- Automatic fixture pulls from Sky Sports, Sportradar and league APIs
- Fixture-led menu swaps (match-day menu, six-nations menu, derby menu)
- Multi-screen sport mode with score ticker overlay
- Venue-level fixture customisation — promote Chelsea fixtures in Fulham, Arsenal in Holloway
The DJ set list on the wall before the DJ plays a track.
Pull event schedules from your booking platform, Eventbrite or your own diary. DJ set times, live band billing, themed nights and private-hire notices appear on the right screens at the right times. Social handle overlays on every event screen so guests post and tag without asking.
Your guests plan their weekend around the screens they saw last weekend.
- Set-time countdowns with DJ bio and Instagram handle overlay
- Private-hire mode swaps menus, branding and guest welcome in one click
- Guest-list and door-status displays for table-service venues
- Multilingual event info for high-tourism locations (London Soho, Edinburgh, Dublin)
Age-gated zones. Licence-compliant messaging. Ready for inspection.
External-facing screens visible from the street have stricter content rules than back-bar screens only served adults see. Hangar.Media lets you zone content by audience: keep promo cocktails off the pavement-facing window while running them full-blast on the inside back bar. Licensed-premise signage requirements (Challenge 25, responsible drinking, last-orders) can be scheduled and logged for compliance.
Window screens match street-facing rules. Interior screens match the room.
- Zone-level content rules (external / bar / VIP / function)
- Scheduled Challenge 25 and responsible-drinking messaging with compliance log
- Last-orders and call-of-time countdowns on every screen automatically
- Audit log of every content change for licence renewal and inspections

Which POS systems do you integrate with for bars?
Hangar.Media integrates natively with Toast, Square for Restaurants, Lightspeed Restaurant, Zonal Aztec, Tevalis, Revel, Oracle MICROS, Touchbistro, Clover and 15+ others. Draught-line monitoring integrations (iKeg, DraftLogic) are also available so keg-level drops auto-hide depleted lines. POS sync is included — no per-connector fee.
Can I run sport fixtures and cocktail menus on the same screen?
Yes. Zone your screens however you like — full cocktail menu with a small fixtures ticker, full fixtures with the cocktail of the hour rotating, or split-screen both. Content zones are independent, and the fixture feed continues to update live while the menu zone runs its scheduled daypart.
Do you handle late-licence last-orders messaging?
Yes. Schedule automatic 'last orders in 15 minutes' and 'bar closed' messaging across every screen on a per-venue time schedule. The system keeps an audit log of every licence-related message shown, which the platform will export for your licence renewal or council inspection.
Pricing for a group of 5 bars?
£5 per screen per month, flat. For a 5-bar group with 6 screens per site (30 screens total), that's £150 per month, £1,800 per year. One rate across every feature we ship. Cancel any month. No activation fee, no minimum term.
