At Happyhour.Best, we encourage users to share their experiences and provide helpful information for others exploring happy hour deals. To ensure that all content is respectful, helpful, and legal, we’ve established the following guidelines.

By contributing content to our site, including reviews, comments, and other submissions, you agree to follow these guidelines.

1. Respectful and Honest Reviews

  • Be Honest: Share accurate, first-hand information about your experiences at bars and restaurants.
  • Respect Others: Avoid offensive, defamatory, or derogatory language about other users, establishments, or staff. Personal attacks or harassment are not allowed.
  • Stay On Topic: Ensure your reviews or comments are relevant to the venue and the happy hour experience. This helps others make informed decisions.

2. Prohibited Content

The following types of content are not allowed and may be removed at our discretion:

  • Hate Speech: Content that promotes violence, hate, or discrimination against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, or disability.
  • Obscene or Offensive Language: Please refrain from using vulgar or explicit language. We encourage a friendly and welcoming environment.
  • Illegal Activity: Content that promotes or incites illegal activities, including underage drinking, excessive alcohol consumption, or other unlawful behavior, will not be tolerated.
  • Inaccurate Information: Posting false or misleading information, such as fake reviews or promotions, is strictly prohibited.
  • Spam or Self-Promotion: Avoid posting irrelevant content, promotional material for businesses not listed on the directory, or content intended to drive traffic to external sites or products.

3. Alcohol-Related Content

Given the nature of our site, content related to alcohol must follow these rules:

  • No Encouragement of Excessive Drinking: Do not promote irresponsible behavior, binge drinking, or activities like drinking contests. Encourage moderation and responsible consumption.
  • Underage Drinking: Users may not promote or reference any activities related to underage drinking.
  • Drink Descriptions: When discussing specific drinks or happy hour deals, make sure to focus on the quality, price, and experience rather than glorifying alcohol consumption.

4. Image and Media Guidelines

If you upload images or media as part of your review or content submission, please follow these guidelines:

  • Original Content: All images or media must be your own. Do not post content you do not have the rights to, including copyrighted material.
  • Respect Privacy: Do not post images of individuals without their consent, especially if the images depict them in a private setting or in a manner they may find uncomfortable.
  • Relevant and Appropriate: Images should be relevant to the venue, event, or promotion being discussed. Avoid graphic, violent, or obscene imagery.

5. Constructive Feedback

We encourage users to provide constructive feedback that helps others make informed decisions. Here are some tips:

  • Highlight Positives and Areas for Improvement: Instead of just criticizing, try to provide balanced feedback. Mention things you enjoyed and areas where the venue could improve.
  • Avoid Personal Grudges: Reviews should focus on your experience, not personal issues with staff or other patrons. If you had a negative interaction, describe the situation in a calm and factual manner.

6. Reporting Violations

If you see content that violates our guidelines, please use the “Report” feature or contact us at [your email]. We review all reported content and will take action if it does not comply with our rules. Repeated violations by users may result in account suspension or termination.
