Happy Hour Tavern

I love this place. Very casual, divey, the type of place where everyone who goes there is a regular. The bar tenders are friendly and personable. Drinks are affordable, food is cheap and filling. There is a pool table, a jukebox, and darts.

They are definitely a dive bar to the fullest!
I find their mixed drinks are a little pricier than most dive bars and I do t get the logic behind that. If you are a dive bar be a dive bar all the way around.
The atmosphere on a Friday is a mixed generational crowd. I think the only reason it may attract youngins is due to location it’s walkable from many neighborhoods — main reason we went.
The food is typical bar food which is good. But just order fried foods because deli foods come from the attached deli next door and they suck.
The place could also use a very deep cleansing and cleaning.

for a quick bite to eat or a short shot of booze this is the place, while it can be passed quickly, when you approach Trenton Road intersection look around and you’ll see it, have eaten there for years and never a bad meal

Happy Hour Tavern is in a small commercial strip on Veteran’s Highway, and quite easy to miss. Effort should be made to find it if a friendly working man’s bar is what you like.
They have a fairly broad beer list, both tap and glass. The kitchen isn’t exciting, but it does a decent job with the basics. The important aspect is the atmosphere. It is a cozy, unassuming place, where you can sit at the bar over a good crafty, shoot the breeze with some great storytellers, and walk out with change.
Most significantly, they have one of the rare shuffle board games — complete with sawdust needed to keep the oak surface slick. Love that game. It ought to be an Olympic sport. Way more exciting than curling.
No. I wouldn’t bring a date here, but when I want a hidden place to sit, think, smooze, and feel the cool weight of shuffle disks in my hand, Happy Hour Tavern does the trick.

This is a little hole in the wall bar, but I love it. They always alternate in new or seasonal beer selections & you can always get served. The bartenders & cooks are nice, but don’t expect anything fancy, it’s all normal bar food, but it’s decent & at a great price.
The crowd is usually a little older, hardly any of the freshly 21 crowd, so that’s always a plus in my book. They have quizzo once a week & kinky quizzo once a month, which is always a hilarious time.

I love this place.
It used to be a TOTAL dive. (I think I liked it more then, actually.)
But recently they’ve cleaned the place up and expanded their ‘dining’ area, and therefore, the menu. The food is hit or miss but the prices are excellent. None of it’s ‘bad’ — some of its just a little bland — but you’re not really disappointed since it’s so cheap — and you should be blitzed enough at this joint that it don’t matter. Since they’re newer to the expanded menu, I’m expecting it’s just going to get better with time.
Food service is also pretty fast.
The beer selection is pretty decent and you can buy six-​packs on your way out the door. The bartenders are all nice & you don’t have to beg for attention. They make solid basic cocktails — but don’t get crazy or you’ll lose them.
The bathrooms? Hit or miss here on busy nights.
Good music on the jukebox — and live bands that aren’t that bad on Saturday nights. Sunday Karaōke is hilariously legendary.
They’ve got a pool table — and the coveted Hand Shuffle Board table. Hand shuffle board is where it’s at in this place — don’t be surprised to find yourself facing off with 2 seriously old gents in possession of some serious hand shuffle board skill — they’ll hand your whippersnapper-​ass back to you after they’ve wiped clean the floor.
