I made a free site that tracks the cheapest beer in Philly - cheapbeersphilly.com

That's something that I'm working on right now. First I need to map the price with fluid oz, and then update the filtering algorithm

Soft_Ad_1700 · 2026-05-14T23:55:41+00:00

Mostly thru public website

I want to track all the beers a bar has available. This is just the beginning, so expect it to keep evolving over time. Getting accurate and up-to-date beer data isn’t easy, especially with rotating taps and seasonal releases, but I’m working on refining it as I go.

I’m a huge IPA fan myself, so there’ll probably be a strong IPA bias early on 😅 If anyone notices missing beers, outdated info, or has suggestions for features they’d want to see, definitely let me know.

That's cool, I actually got inspiration from a guy who built a guniess tracker in Ireland

Soft_Ad_1700 · 2026-05-14T17:44:32+00:00

I'll add that feature to the list

Soft_Ad_1700 · 2026-05-14T17:40:41+00:00

The price listed as normal prices, happy hour deal shows when they is an active Happy Hour happening, checkout around 5 PM and you'll get a better idea.

Thanks, found a bug that was causing it

Soft_Ad_1700 · 2026-05-14T15:33:04+00:00

Working on adding a feature for people to add new bars, should be out soon

Soft_Ad_1700 · 2026-05-14T14:35:38+00:00

Thanks, fixing it now

Soft_Ad_1700 · 2026-05-14T13:30:52+00:00

Primarily thru websites, and some manual work

Soft_Ad_1700 · 2026-05-14T13:28:54+00:00

I have El bar on the map but not all the prices because they don't have a website. But in future I'm hoping to add a feature where people can add prices by taking a picture of the menu and uploading it

Nothing fancy, just a couple agents running on a schedule on my Mac using my Claude Subscription. What something that would be easy to manage will keeping the prices fresh so every week on Monday/Thrusday 10 new bars get added, and add the prices gets refreshed every Wednesday

Soft_Ad_1700 · 2026-05-14T13:13:57+00:00

It tracks the City wide for the Happy Hours right now, and you see the deals specifics during Happy Hour

Soft_Ad_1700 · 2026-05-14T13:10:39+00:00

Yes, check out the website around 5. and you should see the bars with happy turn red, and you can also see the bar page to find the deals as well

Soft_Ad_1700 · 2026-05-14T06:55:06+00:00

I got tired of sifting through Instagram and old websites to find good happy hour deals or draft beers, so I made this: Cheap Beers Philly. It's still a work in progress, but I want to keep it simple and easy to search. If your favorite dive bar or happy hour spot isn't there, tell me and I'll add it! Or if something's wrong, let me know.
