Field notes
Bar Comps says its source is the Texas Comptroller’s Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts dataset, with additional Census, TxDOT, and OMB data used for geographic context. Users can search by permit or location, view monthly histories by sales category, and draw custom-radius comparisons. The displayed example notes that some venue markers use ZIP centroids rather than exact addresses; the site also states that the underlying filings are not audited by Bar Comps.
