How we pick these
There are two ways to find happy hour in Ann Arbor. You can scroll an aggregator that lists every bar in Washtenaw County and hope the times are still right. Or you can read a list kept by people who actually live here. We go for option two. A deal stays on this page only if we verified it in the last six months, and every card shows the date we last checked.
We rank using the A2 Deal Score, a transparent 0 to 100 formula you can read on the about page. The score weights discount depth, recency of verification, community upvotes, rarity of the deal, and how many flags it has received.
