| City Paper has scored it Big Time with the folks at Go Time.
Their new site section, unleashed last Friday, is dedicated to cataloging Baltimore’s finest and bestestest happy hours is in full effect, and even comes in a delicious app flavor for your smart phone of choice. I took a test drive with the app today, it lists every happy hour in the Baltimore area, which you can sample and vote on whether it’s good or not. The most popular happy hours are listed on CP’s site in order, but can be sorted in other ways. |

You can also filter the listings by cuisine, features (A/C, outdoor seating, etc), and a few other things. Or if you’re feeling lucky, shake the phone and it’ll generate a random happy hour for you to try. Awesome.
With any luck, area bars will jump at the chance to promote their happy hours and users will continue to make sure that listed specials are up to date. Go Time has been around for a few years too, with proven success in other cities, so at least there’s hope that the site won’t grow mothballs like some other area sites regarding happy hours seem to. Throw in some Facebook page incorporation (aside from “liking” specific happy hours) and Baltimore has itself the perfect way to find the best place to spend some dough on any given night.
Full of win.
hmmm… no mt vernon in their menu?
apparently mt. vernon falls under “bolton/reservoir hill” – an oversight to say the least, i guess someone could email them about it…
also, wow, for the record – and i was unaware – Brewer’s Art and most of our favs up there are in Midtown-Belvedere, not Mt. Vernon
That is somewhat ironic considering I don’t recall any bars in Bolton or Reservoir Hill when I lived there.
The trouble with these things is that people get lazy and stop updating them.
Hopefully if this is moderated by CP, they’ll keep on top of it, since they’re pretty good about keeping on top of things anyway.
If this is still working when I get back, I will look forward to trying it out!
