The 9 Seattle happy hours that actually cut the check in half
Most happy hours shave a few dollars and call it a deal. These 9average 50% off or better across every item we could price. That's the whole club.
The math, not the hype
We don't take a restaurant's word for it. We pull the happy hour menu, match each item to its regular price, and average the real savings. We checked 223 Seattle happy hours. 145cleared our “real deal” bar of 25% off. Only 9 averaged 50% or better. Those 9 are the Half-Off Club.
It's a high bar on purpose. Cross the whole menu, not one loss-leader oyster, and you're in. Here's exactly how we count.

How a restaurant gets in
You can't buy your way into the Half-Off Club, and you can't pitch us. It's earned: your matched happy hour items have to average 50% off, and we hand-check the menu before the award goes live. We re-run the math every year, so membership is never a one-time thing. Read the methodology.
