Outhouse is a service that provides real-time crowd levels and other valuable consumer information for local spots, helping you make informed decisions before you go.

Our data is community-powered! It comes from users like you who check in and report how busy a place is. The more people who contribute, the more accurate the data becomes for everyone.

You can explore nearby locations and categories without an account. However, creating a free account allows you to save favorite places, contribute crowd data, and access your account from any device.

We use your location only to find relevant places near you and to gather anonymous crowd-level data. We are committed to your privacy and do not share your specific, identifiable location data with third parties.

Our database is constantly growing thanks to our community. If a place you're looking for isn't listed, it may not have been added yet. We are always working to expand our coverage.
