Lately my boyfriend and I have been trying to go to happy hour more often for dinner, mostly because going out to eat in Seattle is getting expensive.
A few weeks ago I was trying to plan a simple date night (happy hour food before a movie) and ran into a couple of issues. First, it was surprisingly hard to find accurate happy hour info in one place. Second, even when I did find it, I couldn’t really tell if the happy hour was actually a good deal or just sounded good.
I ended up picking a few restaurants I already knew had happy hour and manually comparing their happy hour menus to their regular menus. It worked, but it was pretty annoying to do repeatedly.
Out of that, I put together a small experiment that compares happy hour menus to regular menus and labels places Real / Meh / Fake based on the math.
It’s very limited right now (just Belltown) and intentionally opinionated. I’m sharing it here because this sub always seems to have the best local intel, and I’m genuinely curious where you think this approach breaks down or misses context.
Would especially love thoughts on:
– Whether the verdicts feel fair
– Whether the happy hour info is clear
– Places you think deserve a different rating
If anyone wants to see what I mean, it’s here:
