Happiest Hour — Restaurant in Dallas

Walked up to the downstairs bar where we were ignored so we moved around to another bartender and she was helpful. We gravitated upstairs where the most rude bartender of all time was. The first time I approached the bar, he looked over me and helped people who approached the bar AFTER me. He finally got to me, I asked for two different drinks. One of them was only served downstairs. Ok cool that’s fine. I said okay well just two of the other drink that I asked for. He made only one. I told him I asked for two. He said that I did not ask for two and that I asked for the drink that isn’t upstairs. I repeated to him that I understood that and that I wanted two of the other drink I mentioned. He made the drinks but didn’t put two limes like I asked the very first time. So I asked for the another lime in each. He chunked them in as hard as he could…so I’m like whatever. He moved on to take other orders. I stood there a little longer and just walked away. I left my card thinking that they keep them if your tab is open. We decide to close the tab later on. I return back to the bar. Once again ignored and he greets a person that arrived there after me. He moves on to the next person that arrived after me. Each person is on either side of me. He completely avoided total eye contact and ignored me. I interrupted the second person because how rude of you to act as if I don’t exist! I stated that all I wanted was my card back. He asked my name and I told him. He said he didn’t have my card. I said yes you do. You never gave it back and I also never got a receipt to sign. He reached down and boom, there’s my card. I requested for a receipt. He told me it was my responsibility to get my card and get the receipt but instead I walked away. How about you didn’t give me a receipt to begin with because you didn’t even realize you still had my card!! That man was RUDE. Great place and the music was awesome but he made the...

Always a great time at Happiest Hour! It’s fun to see the different crowds and vibes that come through depending on the time of day.

If you’re looking for a fun place to watch the Stars or the Mavs, this is it! HUGE screen and other multiple screens to watch, with the game sound feeding through the speakers.

They have both fans and heaters for their outdoor area which is a nice touch for Texas weather. For a fun place to just grab a drink and hang, especially when we’re having great weather, this is a no-brainer.

The only reason I’m docking a couple of stars: (One star) is for lack of gluten-free indicators on their menu, (One star) as well as the way their food service is set up.

With having no GF indicators, they just took the queso off the cheese fries I ordered, and I was left with this horrible sadness that you see here, which I ended up returning for just a basket of fries instead. I’m a HUGE loaded cheese fries fan, but these weren’t it.

As for the food service set up: we sat at the outdoor patio area and were told we could order from the bar and have the food delivered. We did just that, but there’s no real way to indicate where you’re sitting, such as table number or geo-track, so the poor bartender was walking laps trying to find us with our food until he finally spotted us (meaning he also had to leave a busy bar to trek all over the restaurant looking for us). At which point our food wasn’t as hot. Would be cool if they could figure out a system to perhaps scan a QR code to order from your phone then put in your table number to alleviate the busy bartenders and...

Great restaurant/bar for all social gatherings and events. I'd say that if you're unsure where to kick off your day party or evening with friends, this is the best place to start with. It's centrally located in the heart of Downtown Dallas and right next to various restaurants, hotels, etc.

The atmosphere is general pretty upbeat and a great social setting. Rarely will this place be empty, but it's spaced out well and never too crowded. There's a main floor for the restaurant and specialty drinks. Then there's the upstairs patio (covered during winter to provide heat) with another bar more tailored to your typical young social party crowd. I.e., if you want an espresso martini you're going to have to go downstairs for it.

The food here is great and filling, plenty of TVs so it's great for watching sports, and the staff is always friendly. Prices are fair.

The only reason that I give this 4/5 stars (almost wanted to do 3/5 because of this but I don't think that's completely fair given it's a great spot) is that the patio furniture/table service areas are INCREDIBLY dirty/stained/etc. from all the spilt drinks. Honestly, it makes you hesitate about wanting to sit on the furniture (but you'll do it anyway). It's difficult to clean those stains but at a place as fun as this you'd think they would bust tables more regularly and clean the furniture as well. Other than that, there are zero complaints.

In sum, you gotta check this place out! I'm just a bit picky from time to time when it comes to cleanliness. Thus, if that doesn't bother you, then you've found your new go-to...
