Unthirsty.com uses Google Maps to plot out all the local watering holes in your area. It's populated by other users and it gives you a run down on location, happy hour, wireless accessibility and even the daily specials. And guess what? It's not city-specific... that means if you live way out in the boonies, you will still be able to find the absolutely closest bar to your jurisdiction.
Implications - Unthirsty.com is also a great site to use if you are traveling and are not familiar with the city you are in. You can easily find the closest bar without having to ask anyone for directions. Unthirsty's slogan ingeniously reads, "find your happy hour."
