What is Vatra

Vatra · A campfire for real life

The oldest social network is a fire.

People have always found each other around one - to celebrate, to lend a hand, to belong somewhere. Vatra puts that circle on a live map: what is happening near you tonight, who is out, and who could use you.

How Vatra works

Not just nightlife

Real life. All of it.

  1. Friends dancing under string lights at a backyard party22:40

    Go out.

    Join a plan someone nearby started tonight, or start your own Vibe in seconds.

  2. Two neighbors laughing while jump-starting a car at dusk19:58

    Help out.

    Ask for a hand nearby - or be the hand. A couch up the stairs, a dead battery, two more players.

  3. Friends sharing drinks at a table in a lively neighborhood bar20:31

    Open up.

    Local places join the circle: bars, cafés and venues hosting Events and asking for a hand.
