This is neat, but the third place it's telling me to go is a dentist. Is it supposed to tell me to go to a dentist? I need to get a temporary crown replaced but there's no way it could possibly know that (?).

Saduyr, taz: It's using the not-quite-HTML5-but-still cool Geolocation API to automatically find your location. Browsers don't hand it out willy-nilly - the warning is a bit over-the-top -, but it's very handy and common in mobile apps that benefit from geolocation tagging of events. (Like Fuelly!)
What's crazy is how accurate it can be when using your desktop or laptop, thanks to Google's massive store that maps SSIDs to latitude and longitude. Chrome sends over the SSIDs that your computer can see plus their relative strengths and the Google API can pinpoint you with remarkable accuracy.

Their second choice lost their liquor license this summer (AND really looked shit even before then), but I don't think we can blame them for not knowing that.

The site never recommended it. However, The Viper Room, in West Hollywood, repeatedly came up, despite the fact that it's a rock venue known for overpriced drinks that are best described as "strong," rather than "good." Musso and Frank, which pours a classic cocktail perfectly, doesn't come up.
Where else could they have sent me? Oh, Boarnder's, a half block from Musso and Frank. Or the Cat & The Fiddle. None of them come up.
Is this pay to play? Did they set up the site and then start contacting bars to see if they wanted to be listed? Because this is useless to a consumer.
