About the guide
Good plans start with clear information.
Here is how Happy Hour in Miami checks menus, handles corrections and separates source evidence from a personal visit.
01Official sources come first
Happy Hour in Miami is a dining-planning guide, not a restaurant operator. We bring together published happy-hour offers and the official Miami Spice directory so you can compare places before opening a map.
Restaurant websites and menus are the primary evidence for happy hours. Miami Spice participation and menus come from the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau's official program, with restaurant sources used where a listing needs clarification. Each listing links to its source.
02What a source-check date means
A listing's checked date reflects its latest recorded source check. That can be an automated check that the source responded, not a new review of every menu fact. It is not the date a restaurant opened, a promise of availability today or proof that someone visited in person.
An automated source check is different from a menu review. Supported parsers can read specific official formats and update validated hours or offers. Other menus use reviewed source snapshots: matching evidence can retain its status, while changed evidence is flagged for review. A successful request or unchanged page does not by itself establish a new manual verification. The verification status is a separate signal.
03Verified is not a personal recommendation
Verified means the recorded program has passed the source-verification workflow. It does not mean a restaurant has personally endorsed this guide, that a seat is available or that we have eaten there.
Restaurant confirmation and an in-person visit are separate kinds of evidence. We do not turn source checks into claims of either. This guide does not invent visits, photographs, diner reviews or star ratings. If first-hand reporting is added, it should identify the actual visit and when it happened.
04When information changes
Source monitoring runs on a schedule, not continuously. Some supported menus can be updated automatically. Menus without a supported extractor require review when their source changes; an automated monitor cannot reliably interpret every PDF, image or redesigned website.
A needs-confirmation label means some information is unresolved. Existing published details may remain visible with that warning. Check the linked menu or contact the restaurant before relying on an uncertain price or schedule.
05The small print is part of the offer
Happy-hour windows are not full restaurant opening hours. We keep different programs and their offers separate, including weekend or late-night menus where published. Recorded validity dates and holiday blackouts affect date-specific recommendations.
We include published restrictions such as bar-only seating and service charges when the evidence provides them. Missing fee or holiday information is not a promise that no fee or exception applies. Taxes, availability and private events can still change the final experience.
06Corrections are reviewed, not published on arrival
Use the correction form on a restaurant page to report changed prices, hours, an address or another issue. Include a public official source when possible. New happy-hour suggestions go through the submission form.
Submissions enter a private review queue. A suggestion does not automatically replace a restaurant's published menu. Review can approve a supported correction, hold it for further review or reject unsupported information. Please do not include private contact details or other sensitive personal information.
