Bar Assistant
Self-hosted cocktail recipe manager for home bars
Bar Assistant is a self-hosted web app for organizing cocktail recipes and running a home bar inventory. It helps you store and discover drinks, track bottles and ingredients you own, and find what you can make with your current stock.
Key Features
- Cocktail recipe library with structured ingredients, measures, and preparation steps
- Ingredient and bar inventory management to track what you have on hand
- “What can I make?”-style discovery based on available ingredients
- Support for tags/categories (e.g., spirit base, style) to organize recipes
- Import/export and data management tools for maintaining a personal collection
- Docker-based deployment for repeatable setup and updates
Use Cases
- Maintain a personal cocktail cookbook with consistent measurements and notes
- Track your liquor cabinet and quickly find drinks you can make tonight
- Plan shopping by identifying missing ingredients for specific cocktails
Bar Assistant is a practical choice for home bartenders who want a structured, searchable recipe database paired with inventory tracking. It focuses on personal collection management and “make-with-what-you-have” workflows rather than restaurant POS operations.
