Happy hours near you, with the actual prices.
Most happy hour apps stop at “this bar has a happy hour.” Fourish carries the prices — read from the venue’s own menu — so you can decide before you walk anywhere.
Reading a card
Each venue is one card, and every element on it answers a question you would otherwise have to open a browser for.
- Distance — how far it is from wherever you are searching from.
- Status — ON NOW · ENDS 3:30, or STARTS 4:00 PM · IN 2 HR 18 MIN. Evaluated in the venue’s own time zone, so it stays right when you travel.
- A live countdown on anything running, because “ends at 3:30” and “you have 41 minutes” are different facts.
- Three price slots — beer, well, food. The three numbers that decide where you go.
- A verified date and the source domain, so you can see how fresh the answer is and go check it yourself.
Where the numbers come from
Fourish reads venues’ own public pages — menus, happy hour pages, the PDF someone scanned years ago — and extracts the window and the prices. Nothing is crowd-sourced and nothing is estimated. If a bar publishes “$5 wells, 3–6pm”, that is what you get.
That is also why every card carries a verified date and a link to its source. Menus change without telling anyone, and a price with no date on it is a guess wearing a suit.
What it does when it doesn’t know
This is where most of the work went.
Dashes, not zeroes
A slot with no published price shows an em dash. It does not show “$0”, it does not borrow a price from another location, and it does not quietly drop the venue.
“2 prices published, not yet sorted into beer / well / food”
Sometimes we can tell a venue published prices without being confident which slot each one belongs in. That is a real state, and it gets its own sentence instead of a guess.
“Published chainwide — not confirmed for this address”
Chains publish one happy hour for the whole brand and then vary it by location. Where a deal came from the brand rather than the branch, the card says so.
Venues with nothing sit below a divider
Places we hold no happy-hour data for are present but out of the way. Dropping them would overstate coverage; listing them inline would bury the answer.
“Nobody has looked here yet” is not “there is nothing here”
Open the app somewhere we have never crawled and it tells you so, rather than reporting zero happy hours as though it had checked. Two very different sentences, and this app refuses to blur them.
The map
The list is the default because the list is the answer. The map is for when the question is really “which direction do I walk”. Pins sit at the venues’ real coordinates, north up, and the ones too close together to label collapse to dots rather than overlapping into nonsense.
Other times
On now and Later today are both free. Pick a day looks ahead to a specific day — planning Thursday on a Tuesday — and is the paid feature. There is also a search box for when you already know the bar and just want its hours.
Saving
Keep the places you like. Without an account they live on your phone; with one they sync across your devices and the limit goes up. You never need an account to see a price.
Location
Fourish checks your location once, when you open it — never in the background. You can skip the permission entirely and type a neighbourhood, city or ZIP instead. Exactly one thing gets written down, and the privacy policy describes it in full: the rough centre of an area nobody has crawled yet, rounded to about a kilometre, so we know to go and look.
No advertising identifiers. No third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.
Pricing
Prices are free for everyone. There is no wall on the data — what is on now and the rest of today costs nothing. Picking a specific future day is the paid feature.
Fourish is built by HakuSoft. The screenshots are of the real app against real venue data. Happy hour times and prices are read from venues’ own public pages and can change without notice, so check with the venue before you rely on one.
