Two months after launching The House in Birmingham, Alabama native Matt Patterson is bringing the service to the Rocket City.

The House - a dining app that shows events, happy hours and other specials from local restaurants and bars - will launch in Huntsville on Oct. 10.

"It's a neighboring city that's on the rise to grow," Patterson said. "We want to be well positioned for the growth they're having, and we wanted to plant our flag there."

Since launching in Birmingham, The House has gained more than 5,000 downloads in the area. Patterson told AL.com that number is still growing steadily.

Patterson said he hopes to grow the House to several cities in the Southeast in the next 18 months, including Nashville and Atlanta.

"We envision being a nationwide company," Patterson said.

The House will also host an Avondale Pub Crawl on Wednesday from 6:30 p.m. until 10 p.m. with specials available exclusively to House app users. Partners include Melt, Fancy's on Fifth, Rowe's Service Station, Avondale Common House and Avondale Brewing.

Patterson, a Vestavia Hills High School and University of Alabama graduate, cofounded The House with Matt Harb. Patterson worked for BBVA Compass before starting his own company, a moving company called Bellhops. He's still an equity owner in that company, but he's no longer involved in the day-to-day operations of it. He now lives in Chattanooga, where Bellhops and The House were both launched.
