Answer
How do I find a bar halfway between two friends?
TL;DR
Drop both addresses into a midpoint calculator, then filter venues by 'bar' near the computed midpoint — that gives a fair option neither friend can complain about.
The simplest method is geographic — compute the midpoint of two coordinates and search for bars within a 2-mile radius. MidMeetup does this automatically and ranks results by Google rating + open hours.
If one friend hates driving, weight the midpoint toward them. A 60/40 weighting still feels fair and avoids resentment.
Always check the bar's hours and reservation status before you broadcast. A 'fair' midpoint bar that's closed on Tuesdays is not fair.
