From the editor
“The bar that catches the 5:43 tap is the bar that fills the table at 6:10. Tonight is built around the fifteen minutes between deciding and walking in. We want your venue in that window.”— The Editor, Vol XVII

FAQ
How long does verification take?
Usually 1–2 business days. We cross-check the business email or phone you provide against your venue's public listing. Faster if you use an email on the venue's own domain.
Do I have to pay to be listed?
No. Every venue we discover near our readers gets an automatic listing — claiming just lets you control it. Verified is free and always will be.
What if my venue is already in the app?
It probably is. We scan public sources to extract happy-hour windows automatically. Some of it's right, some of it's stale — claiming is how you set the record straight. Once you save your first edit, the auto-extractor stops touching your listing.
What if a competitor claims my venue?
Verification matches a working business email or phone tied to the venue on Google or its own site. Disputes go to whoever can prove operational control of the door.
How is this different from Yelp or Resy?
Tonight is built for one decision: where to drink in the next two hours. Readers open it at 5pm, not at 5pm Wednesday for Saturday. Your listing isn't competing with brunch reservations — it's competing with three other bars on the same block, right now.
