This is 100% a dive bar and full of locals, but I am a local myself so I have grown to love this bar. Food is always good and the drinks are made just to my liking (aka strong as h*ll). I wouldn't recommend this bar to non-locals just because it gets a little rowdy (pre-COVID) but if you're down to have a good time and get some good grub, stop on by!

Nothing amazing about happy hour.

I love this bar. These patrons are the best ever. Mike S is an idiot and talking shit. The bottles arent on the shelves long enough to grow mold idiot.

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.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Kristen H.Philadelphia, PA7430Sep 16, 2017
Bartender was a jerk. He couldn't tell me what beers they offer. Maybe I am spoiled, but I think it was a reasonable question.
No smoking, which I liked.
Young-ish crowd, seemed fun.
Good music.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mike S.Bensalem, PA3792Jun 20, 2018
Place is filthy. Bartenders were rude was treated disrespectfully. The ledges are all caked in dust. Some of the tops of bottles look moldy and not touched I. Years. Do yourself a favor and skip it - for your health.

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.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Cassie S.North Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA03Aug 26, 2018
We always have a great time here. Bartenders are fantastic (shout-out to Jimmy and Dillon) drinks are cheap but great! Pool table is brand new shuffleboard is available too. Bathrooms were just redone they look great the new floors are homey and stylish. Take out beer is available. Local crowd but I always feel welcome here. Sunday karaoke nights with Paul are the BEST!
