TonightSpots.com was developed to answer only a few simple questions about bar specials:
1. What
2. Where
3. When
With the goal of creating an intuitive interface for narrowing results, the city was broken down into three major regions with their associated areas and bars. Since visualizing results is often better than words, the Google Map provides the bar and restaurant locations relative to the browse criteria.
The site doesn’t exaclty encourage binge drinking but c’mon, if you’re going to do it, you might as well use the site to save yourself some money.
The site in no way guarantees the most up to date bar specials BUT will try its best to maintain quality and correct information. We wouldn’t want you wandering down the street only to miss a great special.
For any nerds out there, the site was developed using the Django Python framework sitting on a MySQL database protected by memcached. The site is very happily hosted at Slicehost. Obviously, the site uses the Google Maps API. Last, but not least, the bar images, categories, and reviews are dynamically provided by the Yelp REST API.
