How does Stoop know the prices?

We track real menu and happy hour prices per bar and update them as they change. Every price on this page comes from a specific drink at a specific bar.

Is happy hour cheaper than regular prices?

Usually, yes. This list ranks by the cheapest pour overall, but each bar page breaks out its happy hour deals separately so you can see the difference.
