Insiders Picks: How it works
The Happiest Hour has over 3,000 specials listed, but how do you find the ones that really suit your vibe?
Current problems in the market:
1. Bias:
A lot of “top XYZ” lists are actually influenced by venues that pay to be featured, so recommendations can feel a bit biased.
2. Subjective:
Everyone’s got different tastes - some are all bout boujee spots with fancy cocktails, while others are into dive bars with killer craft beer happy hours.
3. Outdated info:
These lists go out of date fast, so finding reliable, up-to-date info can be tricky.
How Insider Picks is changing the game:
We’re building a network of Insiders who truly know the scene, sharing their personal picks so you get honest, up-to-date recommendations. You can follow the Insiders who get your vibe and check out their curated lists, updated monthly, so you always know where the good stuff is!
