PW’s Happy Hour iPhone App Puts Local Bars at Your Fingertips
Unless you’ve achieved “regular” status at your local watering hole, figuring out where to stop in for an after work drink is often a struggle. Negotiations begin with co-workers or over IM with friends around 3 p.m., and lasts until someone finally remembers which spot is offering $2 Yards or pitchers of lager for $5. Makes you wish you had a simple list of locals bar that included their weekly specials.
Well friends, pine no longer! The folks at the PW, hearing our plaintive cries of happy hour confusion have sallied forth with an iPhone app that compiles information about every 4 – 6 or 5 – 7 p.m. deal around. The app includes the ability to map the specials by distance from your cubicle, allows you search by neighborhood, can post your location directly to Twitter and even makes it possible to call a cab without dialing a single digit.
At this time, this app costs $.99 and is only available for the iPhone or iPod Touch (they hate us Palm Pre folk, don’t they?). The calling feature doesn’t work with on the touch (as it’s not a phone). To download this app, either click here or navigate to the App Store and search for “Philly Happy Hour.” You’ll be ready to drink within minutes.
