Happy hour information may come from venues, public menus and websites, photos or screenshots, community submissions, and HHAP's own review. We structure that information into the deal itself, its schedule, and the venue where it is offered.
How HHAP works
Good deals are useful.
Current deals are better.
HHAP is designed to answer a simple question: what happy hour deals are actually available around me, and when? We organize venue, location, schedule, and deal information so the same underlying data can power Nearby, Map, Look Around, city pages, venue pages, and focused local guides.
A happy hour is more than a restaurant name. HHAP connects each deal to a specific location and schedule so it can tell whether a special is happening now, starting soon, or available later.
When available, listings can carry a verification status, last-verified date, verification source, supporting evidence, and community confirmations. These signals help users understand how recently a deal has been checked.
Happy hours change frequently. HHAP makes corrections part of the product: users can suggest an update, flag outdated information, or submit a new deal, while venues can claim locations and help maintain their information after review.
When a submission includes a photo, screenshot, menu, or source link, that evidence can help HHAP review the exact deal, days, and times rather than relying only on a short description.
People using HHAP can provide another signal that a listing is still accurate. Those confirmations complement—not replace—the source and verification information attached to a deal.
Restaurants and bars can claim their HHAP location after review. Claimed locations make it easier for the people closest to the information to help keep venue and happy hour details current.
If a listing has not been recently verified, HHAP should not imply otherwise. Deal details and verification information are presented separately so users can make their own decision before heading out.
Questions
A few things worth knowing
No. Venues can change or cancel specials without notice. HHAP provides the best information available to us and shows verification context where possible. If something has changed, we want to know.
Deals can be deactivated when they are outdated, under review, or no longer supported by current information. We would rather remove questionable information than knowingly send users to an expired special.
Yes. Community submissions are an important way HHAP expands and stays current. Providing complete schedule information and supporting evidence makes a submission easier to review.
Yes. Venue owners or managers can claim a location, and anyone can suggest an update. Public changes still flow through HHAP's review process.
