Why happy-hour information goes stale—and how Clocktail is fixing it

Happy-hour discovery should be simple. In practice, the details are scattered across menu PDFs, venue websites, and social posts—and directories often preserve offers long after they change.

We’re building Clocktail around a stricter rule: publish only what we can check against a venue-owned source, show that source and the date checked, and calculate what’s live now in local time.

We’re launching Thursday with 68 source-backed listings across Reno–Sparks, Lake Tahoe, and Sacramento; filters for drinks, food, pool, darts, and pinball; free Cheers and Save accounts; and community and venue-owner submissions. GPT-5.6 Sol worked alongside our founding team on product reasoning, UX, implementation, testing, and the verification workflows that keep human judgment in control of every published claim.

I’d love the community’s perspective: when you’re deciding where to go, what matters most—distance, deal quality, atmosphere, or confidence that the offer is still current?
