Where these numbers come from

Every price here is a line the venue prints on its own menu under a happy hour or specials heading, read in 2026. They are deliberately kept out of the average prices on each venue page: a happy-hour pint is not what a pint normally costs, and mixing the two would give a figure that is true of neither.

Where a venue gives its deal as a discount (“$2 off all beer”), the “about” price is that discount taken off its usual menu average for the same kind of drink or dish. It is an estimate, so it never counts toward the cheapest prices or the biggest savings above.

Times are read from the venue's own wording and written the same way for every venue. A city needs at least 3 venues with a happy hour before this page exists, so a single bar never becomes a city guide.
