Digital tap list setup on TV screen for bar

Still updating your tap list with chalk? Texting photos to regulars? Paying someone to tweak a slide deck every time a keg kicks?

There is a faster way.

You can have a live digital tap list on your bar’s TV screen in about 10 minutes. No special hardware. No tech team. No upfront cost.

What You Need to Get Started

  • A TV with an HDMI port
  • A streaming stick such as Fire TV Stick, Chromecast, Apple TV, or Android TV
  • A laptop or phone to manage your menu
  • A free Pourwall account

That’s it.

Step 1: Create Your Free Pourwall Account

Go to pourwall.com and sign up. Add your location name and you are ready to go. No credit card required.

Step 2: Add Your Taps

Click Add a Tap and enter your current draft list. For each tap you can include:

  • Beverage name and style
  • Brewery and origin
  • ABV and IBU
  • Description and image
  • Serving sizes and prices

You do not need to fill in everything right away. Even just the name and style looks clean and professional on screen. You can always add more detail later.

Download the Pourwall app on your Fire TV Stick, Chromecast, Apple TV, or Android TV. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish setup. Your digital tap list will appear automatically.

Every change you make updates the screen in real time — no refreshing, no restarting, no waiting.

Step 4: Customize Your Digital Menu Board

Adjust the background, text color, font size, layout, and the information displayed such as ABV, IBU, and serving sizes. Match it to your brand in minutes. No code required.
