Normally I have a good time at happy’s but this time was different. Me and my friends of age (feels important to note) ended our bar crawl at happy’s because we finished our senior year fall semester finals and decided to go on a bar crawl and there was a little Christmas tree for the Fredericksburg spca (where I rescued my cat from) on the very end of the bar (away from all alcohol or anything of importance) so I was looking at all the ornaments to try and find cat ones so I could donate to it because I am going there on Wednesday to adopt a cat that I have on reserve through a foster and from the other end of the bar I get yelled at aggressively from the female bartender that “I’m not supposed to be behind the bar” mind you I am obviously looking at the tree and they put ornaments on all sides of the tree and most of them were for dogs so I’m looking for ones I can contribute towards for cats and I tried explaining I’m just looking at the tree and I get yelled at more that it doesn’t matter and why didn’t I “just turn the tree” which makes no sense to do because I felt that touching the tree to turn it would’ve been more disrespectful then just arching around the corner (I tried my best to not fully step around the bar and tried to be respectful). Anyway I will not be returning to this establishment because I feel as though the reaction was unwarranted because I wasn’t actually behind the bar and was obviously looking at the tree. The female bartender fully yelled at me like I was a drunk oblivious girl just behind the bar when in reality I wasn’t even drunk and was trying to find a donation that met the criteria of what I can afford and she didn’t even give me a chance to explain even though it was obvious what I was doing.

Look, man...what do you go to a bar for...seriously? Do you want to be seen at the latest hip joint, sipping a trendy cocktail and posting duck lip pics there on you IG ? ...or do you want cheap drinks in a place regulars come and could care less if you showed up in crocs and a Journey t- shirt from 1985? My girl and I did an impromptu bar hop recently. We each had a drink at each venue, then moved on. We started at Happy Endings and ended up at...uh... well, never mind that. The next day, I checked my card and every place we went... over 20 bucks. ...Happy Endings... $6.95. Now granted... the other places didn't serve PBR in a can, but hey... sometimes you put an emphasis on value. Also, H.E. was the only place we had lively conversations with total strangers. I dunno... I've been going there for years and they always seem to deliver. Plus...in the current state of our economy, you want your drinking dollar to go a bit farther. To me it seems like all the bars in Fredericksburg are trying to stand out in their own sort of way. H.E. doesn't have to try.. they do it old school and don't care what you think. Just sit down, drink your PBR straight out the can and no need to pretend to be someone you're not. You're probably not that interesting anyway... like me. It's ok, I'll buy the next round and we can solve the world's problems. Bottom line, Home town bar filled with friendly locals and dirt cheap drinks to lift your spirits....and a bar name that reminds you of your last trip to Bangkok... hell ya.

Stick to the bottled beer. Food was atrocious and the taps were either flat or the glasses were truly that dirty. The staff seemed friendly enough.

I’ve never felt so uncomfortable in my entire life. I wasn’t greeted at the bar, the bartender walked past us at least a dozen times, never once acknowledging us. It was a Wednesday night, so very slow, there were maybe 10 patrons at best, all of them already with drinks. We remained patient and confident they would soon approach and ask what we would like to drink, on 2 occasions the female bartender was within 2 feet of us and never said a word or looked in our direction, not even a turn of the head. We waited at least 10 minutes, just standing there (I say 10 mins bcuz it was 10 mins from the time I checked the time) and we had already been waiting. We ended up walking out without a single word being mentioned to us. I will never, ever return, and I’ve never felt so awkward and uncomfortable in my life, my friend felt the same way. I don’t usually leave negative comments unless it was really bad, but the owners need to be aware of how their potential customers are being treated, and if the owner is still one of the original owners, I’m more than happy to chat with her. Do better, be better.

I asked for Pinot Grigio and was told by the bartender “this isn’t a wine bar” when she expounded upon why they didn’t have it. Very unprofessional in my opinion.
