Smartphone app El Tab offers Londoners up to four free drinks every night of the week in different bars across the city. It usually costs £24.99 a month but it’s currently offering a seven day trial for £1 with the discount code ‘THIRSTY’.

Free drinks via apps
These apps often have free drinks to claim.
Free drink and £5 voucher with Mixr
Mixr is a new app that lets you search for, view menus at and book at any pubs and bars owned by Stonegate Pubs. You can also pay in the app and earn points.
As part of its launch, it’s offering a free drink when you sign up for the app. Plus you can get a free £5 voucher if you use our referral code RF98T4WP and connect a bank card.
Free drinks every day with Dusk
The app Dusk gives you a free drink each day at selected bars.
Just download the app and look for the bars participating. If you use the referral code AWEBB5 you’ll earn 500 reward points. I’m not sure they actually do anything right now, but there’s no harm in adding it to your account.
Free drinks with Embargo app
Another app, this one lets you check in to various venues to claim free drinks and discounts. Some are only available if you’ve collected ‘stamps’ from previous visits.
