Happy hour near you, right this minute.

Happy hour is a set window when a bar or restaurant discounts drinks, food, or both. Most run on weekday afternoons, with three to six the classic, though plenty of places also run a late-night one after the kitchen closes. The deal and the hours are set by the venue, so they vary from bar to bar and change more often than anyone posts.

Search by city, filter by day, or share your location. If you want to know what is pouring this minute rather than this week, the Right Now page works it out in each venue's own local time.

Three to six on weekdays is the most common, but it is not a rule. Some venues start at four, some run until seven, and late-night happy hours often start at ten and run until close. Every window listed here carries the times the venue itself posted, not an average.

Every window says where it came from and when it was last checked. Some were read off the venue's own page and quote the sentence they came from; some were confirmed by a person; some the venue told us directly. Anything we cannot stand behind is not listed at all. Happy hours change, so if you find one that has moved, the correction link on any venue page reaches a real queue.

That is the idea, though what is discounted varies. Some venues cut the price of well drinks and draft beer only; others include wine, cocktails or a bar-snacks menu. Where a venue has written down what is on the deal, it is listed under the times.

Often, yes. Plenty of venues run happy hour at the bar and high-tops but not at tables, and some exclude the patio. Where a venue states a restriction like that, it is shown alongside the window rather than buried.
