About this venue

Editor's Take: Walking into The Happiest Hour feels like a 1950s poolside lounge. While the atmosphere is fun and breezy, the food programβ€”led by their legendary cheeseburgerβ€”is dead serious.

A whimsical cocktail bar and diner in Greenwich Village that celebrates the spirit of care-free hospitality with elevated bar snacks and creative drinks.
