running tabs is just fricking stupid .. what's the benefit

I open tabs at bars I frequent often and the bartender knows me. They already know I tip and service doesn't change and I don't have to pull my wallet out every 10-15 minutes

I learned my lesson many years ago not to open tabs at places like The Bulldog or Happy's. And Happy's is infamous for putting drinks on other people's tabs.

Once again .. you have a packed bar with 17 tabs going .. shite like that is going to happen .. If you are going to open a tab .. at least keep a running tally in your head and don't run one for more than a few people so you know what they are drinking too ..

Can we back to the fact that "Happy's Irish Pub" is as much of a misnomer as "glove compartment?"

Regardless of what they call themselves, I don't care for them or their prices.

I thought it was a place called "Quarters" or something? Not D&B?

Happy's Coursey----No GT & the place is too little

Walk-On's Coursey---Shitty GT machine in a cramped spot

I deem both places as unacceptable, and I forbid you all from patronizing them.

I have spoken.

GT as in Golden Tee? I'm pretty sure they have one. The inside is definitely small, but I enjoy going there after work and sitting on the patio. Especially on 2 for 1 Tuesdays. The bar is not much different than any other bar in Baton Rouge.

I've never been when it's packed so it might be extremely different.

First of all 17 tabs is not a lot to handle at all. And shite like that should never happen. But on the other hand this is common place for both Happy's locations as well as the Roux House, they consistently do this and get mad when you confront them.

I was at Happy's downtown last Thursday and my tab was
$84 dollars over. The same girl had taken my drink order all night and knew what I was drinking. When I showed her the tab she immedialty knew that drinks had been ordered on my tab. The manager did not want to do anything about it but eventually took the drinks off after the waitress convinced him the drinks weren't mine. $84 dollars over!

not really defending Happy's ... but it's not the only place i have ever seen or heard of people complaining about their end of the night tabs being higher than they expected .. i doubt Happy's corners this market .. with that said, the person opening the tab a lot of times bears some responsibility too ..

They've had one for a while. Unless they got rid of it recently or something.

For what Happy's is, it really is overpriced. Happy hour isn't too bad though.

Agreed. Ivar's has always been one of the worst for me.

Yeah, right in front of the bar when you walk in.

Well, I happen to be at Happy's on this very night and witnessed this event. You sir are either
a)dilusional
b)on medication
c)still drunk
or
d)a complete D-Bag

First of all, My friend and I watched you (5'5", bulue collared shirt, portly fellow) stumble around into other people's groups, trying to get involved in conversations. Sad part is, there were 2 beautiful bartenders you could have talked to, that get paid to make guys like you feel welcome. At Happy's Coursey, they do a great job.

Secondly, one of Big Jeff's friends got out of his seat to go to the bathroom I assume, and you just sat in his seat. We watched you eye his seat, and as he got up, you pounced like the last kid picked for the dodgeball team, just excited to be there.

Thirdly, if you are going to insult someone's livelyhood, their career, right next door to their place of business, consider yourself lucky that he is a kind man. I was getting ready to call 911. We heard you say, "So your restaurant basically sucks, right?" and "Why do you even go to work? Oh, you eat the profits, I get it."

Reading your post, it sounds like you are still drunk. What you said Big Jeff said, was completely false (except for the GTFO, which if you have ever met Big Jeff, would take you back to hear that come out of his mouth) and made up by you. Maybe you're dilusional?

If I had to guess, I'd say you are just a D-bag who instead of being a man and trying to talk out your problem, you go on the internet and blah blah blah behind a computer in your mom's basement. Before you call me a hypocrite (a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings)I'm at Happy's Coursey every Wednesday night after work, if you would like to discuss differences over a Car Bomb. You'll know who I am.
