Zappy: Austin Happy Hours

Austin has a happy hour on almost every block and no good way to keep track of them. Zappy is the fix. It is one live map of the city's drink specials and food deals, and it shows you what is running right now, near you. 638 BARS AND RESTAURANTS Every place in Zappy has a photo, its happy hour days and times, and the deals written out item by item with real prices. Not a vague "half off drinks." The actual $4 draft beer, the $7 frozen margarita, the $2 street tacos, the $10 burger. That is 7,000+ deals across the city, so you know exactly what you are walking into before you leave the house. A MAP THAT KNOWS WHAT TIME IT IS Open the app and the map shows the happy hours that are live at this moment. No cross referencing a blog post from four years ago, no squinting at a bar's story to work out whether the drink specials are still on. If it is 4:47 on a Tuesday, you are looking at the Tuesday 4:47 deals. FILTERS THAT STACK Day, time, distance, area, price and type all work at once. Thursday, after 8pm, walking distance, under $6, cocktails. Set it once and the map answers. FIND YOUR VIBE Vibe filters cover the part a menu cannot: patio, dive bar, date night, dog friendly, good music, sports, upscale, quirky, games and views. Whether you want a shaded patio with a water bowl for the dog, a proper dive bar with cheap beer, a rooftop cocktail bar for a first date, or a brewery taproom with the game on, filter for it and go. EXTRA SAVINGS AT 70+ SPOTS Some bars and restaurants carry an inKind offer on top of the happy hour, from $10 off $30 up to $50 off $150. It shows right on the card, and there is a filter for when you only want to see those. SEARCH THE DEAL, NOT JUST THE BAR Search a dish, a drink or a venue name. Type queso and you get the places running a queso deal. Type espresso martini, oysters, wings or frozen and Zappy finds the discounted item itself, not just a list of restaurants that happen to sell it. ALL OVER AUSTIN Downtown Austin rooftops and cocktail bars. East Austin patios and dive bars. South Austin breweries and taprooms. North Austin neighborhood spots worth the drive. Zappy covers the whole city, so the map works wherever you already are. BRUNCH, ALL DAY AND LATE NIGHT Happy hour is not only 4 to 7. Some of the best windows in Austin are the odd ones: weekend brunch deals, all day pricing, and late night food specials that start when the kitchen would normally close. They are all in here, with the hours attached. SAVE THE GOOD ONES Keep a list of the bars and restaurants you want to come back to, and send it to whoever you are meeting. Saved lists are part of Zappy Pro. AUSTIN ONLY Zappy does one city and does it properly. No thin national database, no listings for a bar in another state that closed last year. Just Austin happy hours, kept on one map. Open Zappy and see what is happy hour right now, near you.
