Dive bar in down town Fred, a local watering hole if you will. Happy's has extremely friendly staff and almost everyone inside is of the same demeanor. Cheap drinks, great music, and they have a dart board. Throughout the week they have karaoke and a DJ on the weekends. Great place to get a cheap pitcher of Miller and unwind with some friends on a late night. There is a kitchen but I've never eaten here or even seen a menu. Several TV's are typically playing local sports or ESPN.
The music can be a little overbearing at times due simply to how small the space is. There is some outdoor seating that is typically covered with people smoking so I steer clear of it and stay inside.
This is a small locals bar that I actually felt comfortable in! Usually, when I find myself in a bar that I am not accustomed to, I feel out of place and don't usually fully enjoy the experience. Not here! We came through on a week night around 7pm and there were maybe 5 people in the whole bar/patio. It got a little more crowded when we left but it was never overbearing. I can't speak to the food as we only came for the beverages.
The bartender was on point! Very friendly, easy to approach, and knew his drinks! Even my girlfriend who bartends for the yuppies in Alexandria said she loved the drinks!
Great job Happy Endings! We will be coming back!
When I was in college this was one of my favorite bars. I loved the $2 pitcher deals on Wednesday and especially Friday nights -- they were definitely something I'd look forward to all week. They don't have this deal anymore, but they still have $5 pitchers which is still an amazing deal, especially living in DC now, where pitchers are usually $12 to $15. The other drinks here are also pretty cheap and they're always running some kind of special which is great.
Saturday nights they have karaoke, which is awesome. The DJ/host always plays and sings 'Go, go, Godzilla,' and there is no judgement for bad singers, since almost every song turns into a group sing along.
To me this place defines a dive bar; when you're inside you really feel like you are in a hole in the wall. It's a small space, long and narrow, with only a few windows at the front. The bartenders are always friendly and responsive and the food is decent.
My friends and I came to Happy Endings after staying the night in Fredericksburg and having nothing to do. When we walked in we noticed this was clearly a locals bar. It was really small and got really cramped later on as more people came in. I could see that it would be a fun neighborhood small bar.
Also they had glass bottles of Burnett's on the shelf. ..
Happy Endings was one of my go-to spots back in college. Â It was all about Wednesday nights: $2 pitchers from 6-9 and karaoke! Â Thankfully I didn't have early morning classes on Thursdays.
The bartenders are friendly, the food is decent, and the drinks are cheap. Â It's a smaller building, so it can get a little cramped.
I found Happy Endings to be friendly to Mary Wash students, locals, and Marines. Â Not every bar in Fredericksburg can say that.
