A tropical oasis in the heart of Greenwich Village, The Happiest Hour delivers a fun, lively atmosphere where playful décor meets an impressive lineup of burgers and cocktails. With its vintage resort aesthetic, upbeat energy, and creative drinks, it’s the kind of place that instantly transports you to vacation mode - no plane ticket required.
The Burger: The Happiest Smash, Double (Tier 2). Two special-blend grass-fed beef patties, bacon umami, onions, American cheese, special sauce, ketchup, and pickles on a Martin’s potato roll. Living up to its name, this one’s sure to put a smile on your face. This is a proper smash burger with nice, crispy edges, shaved onions, and a prominent amount of cheese. The bacon umami is applied as a butter, providing a zesty depth of flavor, and the ketchup adds a subtle sweetness. This burger is best enjoyed as a double, where the flavors and textures truly shine. For a more classic, refreshing option, The Happiest Burger is another great option on the menu, with tomato, pickles, and confit onions. It’s a straightforward, well-executed burger that’s best ordered as a single for the right balance.
Pro Tip: While The Happiest Hour may be most known for its creative cocktails and frozen drinks, the food menu is just as impressive. Take advantage of The Happiest Meal Deal, available all night Tues-Thurs and during happy hour otherwise, which includes a burger, fries, and an alcoholic drink.
The Occasion & Vibe: With Drinks. The Happiest Hour is a lively, upbeat spot, perfect for a fun night out with friends or a casual date. The tropical decor delivers retro resort vibes, with palm tree wallpaper and a playful glow of pink that instantly transports you to a beachside getaway in the heart of Manhattan. There’s plenty of room to gather, with ample standing space and seating, plus a square bar topped with a skylight that creates a bright and inviting atmosphere. Above the bar, the glowing phrase 'Wish You Were Here' completes the escape.
The Location: Greenwich Village, 10th Street & Greenwich Avenue.
