Find a Happy Hour

SUMMARY

Happy Time was a personal project I started after struggling to find a happy hour with oysters while out with friends. Google Maps showed nearby restaurants, but it didn’t indicate if they had happy hours, and a quick search on Google didn’t help either. I found that there was a gap in the market, especially in NYC, so I decided to create an app to solve this issue.

​

Key features were developed based on user feedback and my observations during happy hour outings, including:

• Finding happy hours near your location

• Seeing when happy hour ends

• Filtering happy hour offerings (food, drink types)

• Filtering by bars offering entertainment (darts, pool, etc.)

• Getting an alert before the happy hour ends for one last round​

​

Although I had to pause the project for a new job opportunity before completing usability testing and iterations, the prototype has always received positive reactions like, “I would definitely use this!”

Feel free to check out the prototype and see for yourself.
