Mostly we lean toward off-the-beaten-path bars, speakeasies and low-key places with quirky personalities. Happiest Hour is none of those. This is that one friend who is always in your face, "You're having a damn good time, like it or not." It's a great spot to pregame for anything at the American Airlines Center, which is an easy walk. It's trendy and busy, but well-run and worth pushing the limits of your usual social capacity. Groups gather around lounge seating on the rooftop for a view. There's a large bar downstairs, as well as tables and chairs that spread out over a lawn. Ample TVs show all the sports ball contests. Be sure to share an order of foot-long fried mozzarella sticks (it's 5 feet of cheese). Happiest Hour is an all-weather, all-occasion, all-happy spot.
