About SAVOR

I built this because Yelp kept sending me to Applebee's.

SAVOR tracks happy hour deals at independent bars and restaurants in your city. No chains, no pay-to-rank. Every venue scored on Value x Quality.

Why this exists

Every time I searched "best happy hours near me," I got the same thing: a blog post from 2019, a Yelp list half-full of chains, or an Instagram story that expired yesterday. The good stuff was buried across dozens of restaurant websites, and half the deals were already over.

So I built SAVOR. It researches happy hour deals at independent bars and restaurants across your city, then scores each one on a 1-5 Value x Quality scale. Not just how cheap the drinks are, but whether the place is actually worth going to.

Now it's a live map of the best independent happy hours happening in your city. Updated regularly, never pay-to-rank. If a deal changes, SAVOR catches it.

How it works

Research

We scan venue websites, social media, and local sources to find active happy hour deals, prices, and schedules.

Score

Each venue gets a 1-5 Value x Quality score. Two great deals beat five mediocre ones.

Verify

Deals are re-checked on a regular cycle. Users vote on accuracy and flag anything outdated.

What makes SAVOR different

Independents only

We exclude chains with 10+ locations. Every venue on SAVOR is locally owned.

Always current

Deals are verified with automated research and user accuracy votes. Not a static list from 2019.

Value x Quality scoring

A $7 craft cocktail at a great bar program scores higher than $2 well drinks at a dive. Quality matters, not just price.

Scores can't be bought

Every score is calculated independently. Verified venues can receive featured placement, but the score itself is always earned.
