What Was First Call?
First Call was a going-out subscription: pay $20 a month, and you’d get one free drink at any participating bar in the app, with a two-hour cooldown before you could claim another one at a different bar. The service required members to be 21+ to sign up. With our code COUPS, the first month dropped to $5. When we checked, a search of the App Store turned up nothing matching that description — only unrelated apps sharing the “First Call” name (a healthcare scheduling tool, a telemedicine service). The app’s own website, firstcallapp.com, is broken — it redirects to itself in a loop rather than loading a real page — which is a strong sign the service isn’t being maintained anymore.
One mix-up worth flagging: there’s a completely different company also called “The First Call” that offers remote medical support — that’s not the bar app this post originally covered, just a same-name coincidence.
First Call’s free-drink-at-the-bar model doesn’t have a direct live replacement that we’ve verified. If your goal is really just spending less on alcohol, Saucey is a live, currently-operating app we’ve covered separately — it delivers beer, wine and liquor to your door in under an hour, and our referral link gets new customers a discount on their first order. It’s a different use case (drinking in versus drinking out), but it’s the closest live option in our catalog for saving money on alcohol. See our Saucey promo code page for current details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the First Call promo code COUPS still work?
We can’t confirm it does. The app doesn’t appear in App Store searches anymore, and the brand’s website is broken, both signs the service has shut down.
Is thefirstcall.com the same app?
No — that’s an unrelated telemedicine company that happens to share the name. It has nothing to do with the bar-drinks subscription app this page originally covered.
Is there a direct replacement for First Call?
We haven’t found a live app with the same free-drink-at-the-bar subscription model. For general alcohol savings, Saucey is the closest live option we can currently verify, though it’s delivery-based rather than a bar-credit app.
What year did First Call shut down?
We couldn’t pin down an exact date. Our evidence (app delisted, site broken) confirms it’s no longer active, but not precisely when it stopped operating.
