Save Money By Finding Cheap Drinks

Web Sites Point You To Best Happy Hour Deals On Your Block

The current state of the economy could make just about anyone want to reach for a drink.

The only problem is that there's not always money left over at the end of the day to head for happy hour.

But as always, there are good deals to be found, you just need to know where to look.

Several sites have popped up around the Web to help you find financial relief while filling your glass with friends after work.

The most popular national happy hour mapping site on the Web is Unthirsty.com.

Unthirsty allows you to search Happy Hour deals by zip code all across the country. Simply type in your zip code and up pops a map with drink deals from bars in your neighborhood.

The site also allows you to narrow your search down to those establishments with Wi-Fi, a patio and smoking bans. If your favorite watering hole isn’t listed, there’s a link to cue Unthirsty readers in on the good deals.

The site also offers full rating and commenting on each establishment so you can recommend -- or dissuade -- other drinkers.

A close second to Unthirsty is Mappyhour, a map-based Happy Hour search.

Mappyhour takes more of a nationwide look at happy hour deals, rating cities as a whole on the quality of happy hour deals in addition to individual pub deal listings. The site suggests that New York, Chicago, and Houston as the U.S.'s "Happiest Cities." The site also ranks cities globally and reports that Australia's Melbourne and Sydney are towns with especially good deals on drinks.

Finally, give Happy Hour Watch a try if you need a place to whet your whistle.

Happy Hour Watch has less specific information about happy hour specials, but provides users with a very complete list of nearby bars.
