Last night, the Gossip Genie team had the pleasure of attending the Freebie App Launch Party at Allium, a restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel. It was an amazingly executed event, from entry to exit, the Freebie team definitely knows how to throw a great party. When we arrived, there were lounge tables set up for bottle service, all complimentary because that’s Freebie’s MO.

I have been a huge advocate of Freebie from the beginning. It’s an app that uses your social connections to offer you complimentary services, products, event admission and more, throughout Chicago (they do have plans of expanding to multiple major cities). Last weekend, I was able to go to the Looking Glass Theatre to see “Big Lake Big City,” directed by David Schwimmer, with two friends – all compliments of Freebie!

The launch party at the Allium connected all who attended together socially, which is one of my favorite things about how Freebie operates. They provide event hashtags and Twitter and Instagram handles on their welcome cards and menus, making it super easy to properly tag your photos. While we waited, we sipped on complimentary Ketel One cocktails. When we sat for dinner there were a variety of craft cocktails and wine to choose from, as well as two dinner menu items per person.

This was our experience. Muchas Gracias to the Freebie Team, you guys rock!
