Went to Happy's yesterday (first time in maybe 2 months) for 2 for 1 Happy Hour, only to be told they don't do happy hour anymore. The girls behind the bar and other staff were all new (but not improved), and there were a few other subtle changes like the jukebox had been removed and replaced with nothing.

Does anyone know if there has been management or ownership change?

Probably had to cut costs knowing that Saints games aren't going to help pay the bills until August

I find that the live bands are always legit.

I used to laugh at the sign on the jukebox that said the bartender will skip your song if you play country music.

Happys is so overrated.

The main entrance is the worst with that table there and the bar too close and people standing in the middle of them.

The one they had in lafayette closed after about a year.

All the girls in there were a few floats short a parade.

Plus you had the taproom a block down, which IMO is 10x better.

Happy Hour was still going in mid-December. We went there before the New Orleans Bowl concert. As far as management, isn't it owned by Walk-on's?

Place sucks. Went there with some friends before last pels home game. $6 for a fricken pint of yeungling. That should be illegal.

I won't be going back.

They had a change in ownership. Separated from the Walk-ons management now. They also got rid of the popcorn. Last time I was there it was still the same bartenders but they weren't excited about the changes either. Seems they have an identity crisis and got rid of the few things the place had going for it.

Is the Happy's Running Club planning on going somewhere else? Don't see any reason to go there if no Happy Hour.
