How we count
Every number comes from the live happy hours on this site, each traced to the venue's own menu or website. A city needs at least 30 spots with a happy hour to be ranked, and at least 15 spots with a listed price before we show a typical price. Prices are per drink (pitchers, buckets and bottles don't count) and in each city's local currency, so Canadian cities appear in the “most” rankings but not the price ones. “Most” rankings are by share of a city's happy hour spots, so big cities don't win on size alone. Our coverage is wide but not complete; if your favorite spot is missing, tell us.
