Unthirsty.com: Google Maps + Happy Hour =
dethroner.com — "I’m a sucker for Google Maps mashups and I ’m a sucker for cheap booze. Imagine—no, really, just close your eyes and really soak me in—that I had found a website that mashed up both: Unthirsty.com."

- stan205, on 10/12/2007, -0/+37Direct link - http://www.unthirsty.com/index.php
- cresswga, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8thanks for the direct link to avoid the blog spam. Shame the site is really slow.
- ahawks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Thanks. I was about to rant about the blog spam.
Not only is it blog spam, but the entire (brief) content of the blog writeup was copy/pasted into the digg description, giving the blog absolutely zero value. - manumitx, on 10/12/2007, -14/+1http://digg.com/world_news/Devoting_themselves_to_Jesus_What_s_wrong_with_young_people_today
- RobertBogley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I was about to moan about blog spam too !!
- mistercrunch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0superior happy hour map: www.mappyhour.com
- budfox, on 10/12/2007, -19/+2Yea, I submitted this 3 mo ago...Guess the netscape people are right about this site. Guess im on the OC>
- bignate, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Cool idea, but I live in a well-populated area within 3 miles of about 5 bars, two of which are extremely popular, and none of them showed up on the map. If the site gets rolling it'll be very cool, but not very useful as of now.
- kdhoffman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16So add to it you noob!
- chrisntr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Site doesn't want to load up for me :(
- dogshaft, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Looks like the site got dugg already.
- shosterman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1LAST CALL!
- Athens101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I live in Athens Ga... Just a few miles big and 98+ bars. If the page ever loads I will take a look.
- k3n85, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2wow that took forever to load.....but direct link down :(
- xylo36, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6I hate the word "mashup"
- ahawks, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10My mouse cursor and the thumbs down icon next to you are about to have a mashup
- peerk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I was about to post this exact message.
It is refreshing to find another individual with great hatred for the word "mashup".
Hopefully the word will just fade out of usage like "bling". The only people who use that word now are 40+ year olds trying to appear hip to the kiddies.
- aylwin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3http://beerhunter.ca/ does something similar for liquor outlets in Ontario.
- royalwcheese, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Dethrone this d-bag's ***** blog site.
- bkool, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Too bad I live in Illinois where happy hour is illegal. One of the truly dumbest laws here.
- ElliotShoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Now wheres the reasoning behind that?
- dankosaur, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Indeed:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - happyMac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0...isn't the show "Happy Hour" supposed to take place in Chicago? Maybe that's why I haven't seen it in awhile. Lousy Mayor Daily!
- bkool, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@ happyMac
It's a state law. Mayor Daley had nothing to do with it. - Aeiri, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What legal grounds do they have to do that?
Discounting products for an hour? Wouldn't early bird specials be outlawed as well? I know it probably states alcohol only, but why restrict businesses like that?
- gravylookout, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Here is a simmilar site with much better design.
http://www.cheaperdrinker.com
Currently just for parts of minnesota but I think they got it better. - dandormix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Here's another one for the MPLS area, but it's not linked through google maps. http://www.thriftyhipster.com
happy hours kick @ss!- strictnein, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yay - MPLS rocks :)
- WankerWeasel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1w00t Minneapolis. Here's another one http://www.mplshappyhour.com/
- gravylookout, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1there are seriously three cheap dinking sites for Minneapolis? we must be alcoholics!!!
Actually I lived in MPLS for 25 years and now live in Fargo, ND. You havent seen drinking until you visit ND!!!
- mrosenthall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I use one for D.C. that is wiki-based, so people can update the specials so they're always current...
http://www.drinkguru.com/
Also has a bunch of other big cities...Boston, NY, Seattle, etc. - aikasevj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There's a better one in Seattle that allows you to find not only happy hours, but all kinds of stuff (deals & events) lunch deals, happy hours, shows, poker tournaments, karaoke etc. They also have a mobile interface so you can use from your phone (sms) so you'll never go thirsty..
http://www.where2match.com - phlux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://mappyhour.com
is yet another alcohol portal.
so I think these things are nifty, I jsut see too much overlap in such a small offering...- rusackas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1MappyHour.com is my favorite, personally. More listings, more area covered (well, compared to many of these alternatives, at least), and most of all, the pint glasses are much more entertaining than the Google-style-pushpin-things I'm so sick of. I could continue extolling its virtues, but I think I'd rather go grab a beer instead.
- perceptibility, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://mappyhour.com
very cool. way more results and features, and yes, the pint glasses are a nice touch...
- liamsdigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1uhh theres been a site that has been doing this for a while.. but it has other bar specials not just happy hours.
www.drinkdeal.com - socialdisorder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I live in NYC and have been using www.drinkdeal.com for years!!!! They incorporated google maps into their site over a year ago and the format and content are way better than Uthirsty's.
- swdc17, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0My friend and I built Unthirsty, and we are hoping it will be of use to people, as much as it is for us. Thanks for the Digg, now I know what kind of traffic Unthirsty can handle. ;-)
- Quality26, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1next time link the content, not your stupid blog
other than that, great digg - jam583, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now if they can link it to my GPS in my truck .. I'm set ..
- gravylookout, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Drinking and driving is funny!
- gemma1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great Happy Hours Info! If anyone lives or visits Baltimore metro or Annapolis MD, please checkout my site

I'd like to hear your feedback for how to improve. - mojos, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0http://appsafari.com/fun/141/unthirsty/
iPhone Version - citygent, on 04/04/2008, -0/+0A great entertainment guide website in Minneapolis St. Paul area is www.twincitiesfun.com. It is a searchable directory of bars and restaurants, with what, where and when clicks. You pull up a page for a site with pictures, description, daily calender, menus and a google map.
