#CatChat: Your favorite happy hour

Who doesn’t like to save money?

Well, that was the motivation behind Happy Hour Hawaii, an app and website that lists the happy hours of more than 200 different restaurants and eateries around the state. It’s got a detailed search function that’s helpful in finding exactly what you want, where you want it — and even how much it’s going to cost.

This month, founders (and married couple) Carey and Brandon Bennett have taken the successful app to another level: they’ve rebranded it and gone national.

Happy Hour Pal Food Menu Screen copyIt’s now called Happy Hour Pal and it’s entering new markets like Portland, Long Island and Milwaukee. It’s essentially the same — only better.

With this mobile app and website, you can:

• Search for happy hour specials by food, drink, time or location
• Access happy hour menus and daily specials for each business
• Share information easily with friends via text or email and invite them for meet-ups
• Earn rewards by checking into a location

But that’s not what my video (below) is all about.

I met up with Carey and my travel pal Melissa Chang (@melissa808) to talk about their favorite happy hours. But if you want to learn more about Happy Hour Pal, watch Melissa’s video at Nonstop Honolulu.

In the meantime, here’s our chat about Oahu’s happy hours. If you’ve got a favorite, post ’em here!

Special thanks to Russ Sumida (@parkrat) for, uh, something. I know he did something…

    LOL… maybe I will write the companion app… a map to a place to buy a Liquor cycle aka Moped. In all seriousness what a cool idea 🙂

    Hey Cat … interesting idea … I like the daily specials feature … would be even gooder if it had all the coupons and discounts too …

    Went back and watched the video… will be laughing long time… ‘I can’t even open the box… FAIL.’ My brain had already dropped in the other frequently used in Hawaii F-Word. Needless to say this brought an uncontrollable case of the giggles. The brain went everywhere… LMFAO Laughing My Failing A$$ Off. Haole loses mind… film at 11.
