# Urban Drinks adds happy hours within stumbling distance

\[Insert prerequisite “more bars per capita” comment here\], so it comes as no surprise that the happy-hour-location-service market is quite competitive here in PDX. To keep raising the—ahem—bar, Portland-based [Urban Drinks](http://urbandrinks.com/ "Urban Drinks") has just [announced the addition of proximity intelligence](http://blog.urbandrinks.com/?p=35 "Urban Drinks adds proximity") to its service.

With Urban Drinks new feature, not only can you zero-in on a happy hour, but should it be too crowded—or worse yet, completely dead—you can now see the five happy hours within stumbling distance of your chosen locale.

> For example, if you visit the soon to be [Deschutes Brewpub](http://www.urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/1693/deschutes_brew_pub "Deschutes at UrbanDrinks.com") at UrbanDrinks, you will see a list of five happy hours that are currently going on in the area. If no happy hours are currently happening at the time of your visit, then five happy hours that are going on later in the day will be provided. UrbanDrinks also plans on introducing an address field that will allow you to enter or bookmark your address to which a list of the closest happy hours will be displayed.
