We use Google’s API on Bloc, so if the venue has signed up to Google For Business, then the venue will be on Bloc.
We only allow certain venue types on Bloc due to the social element of Bloc. We accept the current venue tags from Google:
amusement_park, art_gallery, bakery, bar, bowling_alley, cafe, casino, hotel, museum, night_club, restaurant, stadium, theater, tourist_attraction
If you try and check-in to a place like a gym or a shop, you will get an error message. We don’t allow these types of venues because we want Bloc to be a place where people can socialise easily.
