Barhop Community Guidelines

Barhop Social users come from all walks of life, which is part of what makes us great. In order to keep Barhop Social an inclusive space where friends can safely enjoy a night out, we ask that you follow our community guidelines. Please read the following guidelines carefully in order to understand some basic do’s and don’ts while using Barhop Social.

Harassment

Harassment of any kind will NEVER be tolerated on Barhop Social or any 23Branches services. We reserve the right to remove any user who is harassing another user at any time. If you are experiencing harassment from a user, please block and report them so our team can remove their account.

Use of Location Services
