Happy Hour Seach Coming Soon

There has been a bit of a hold up with our website programmers but we hope to get the happy hour search  (Melbourne only at this point) up very very soon.

Our Party Cancelled!

Our party this Friday night is going to be cancelled. The venue owner received a letter from the powers that be today stating that by hosting the party, it could be in violation of some Responsible Drinking Laws and such. The owner has just bought the property and doesn’t want any trouble, since this is his livehood.

What do you think about this? Personally I think its just sad…..very sad.

 

TheHappiesthour Membership Keyring

Also at the night of our party, we will be announcing TheHappiestHour Membership Keyrings.
Those who purchase the keyring will be entitled to 50 cents off all drinks at all times and $1 off all food at all times by participating venues.
At the moment we have 11 venues around the city, Carlton, Richmond, Collingwood and Fitzroy on board (more to come).

The key rings will be sold for $15 normally but on the night of the party we will sell them for $10.

Also we are accepting pre-orders until the 20th of June at the cost of $10. They will be ready around the 20th so you we can either post them to you or you can pick them up at the party.

So basically you could make your money back in a week. Email editor@thehappiesthour.com for more info.

FREE BEER - WHY NOT?

Head to Mumbler next Wednesday (4th) and get your self a free bottle of Temple Beer (fine drop that). Mumbler has been one of TheHappiestHour favourites for a while. They have kick arse happy hours ($10 Jugs of boutique stuff, $4 pizzas). www.mumbler.com.au

What do you think about our new site?

Thehappiesthour is almost ready. You can see the test site now. Just wanted some opinions on what you think about it and possible inclusions - keeping in mind we still have to imput happy hours and such. ……..and yes we will be having a launch party with cheap drinks.

What would you do?

What would you do in this situation?

You’ve discovered what has to be one of the best happy hours going around. Lets say $2.50 a stubbie for cascade premium (all day every day!) . It’s a fine pub as well with cheap food and a good beer garden. However the happy hour isnt advertised in the bar - only on the website. Also the manager is a bit apprehensive about too many people knowing about it.

Would you tell people (as in put it on our website, newsletter, blog) therefore putting the actual happy hour in jepardy or would you keep it to yourself and bask in the tightarse cheapness of it all?

What would you do…what would you do..

New Tightarse Pub

You gotta love the new management that puts a sign outside proclaiming “We’re aren’t shit anymore!”.

Head to the Birmingham Hotel in Collingwood and that’s what you will see, which in my opinion was always a bit hit and miss, and thats not including the fights. Sure it didn’t seem like the most welcoming of places (it was fine unless you were being a dickhead or had an astonishly attractive lady partner with you), and it did have it share of trouble (see here), yet it was old school Collingwood (technically it is in Fitzroy but it always had the Collingwood vibe) and it made no apologies for it.

However, that’s not to say that the new management haven’t won me over already and things have changed for the better. In the past month they have updated the front bar to make it much more casual - think East Brunswick grunge meets nannas flat - but best of all they are offering $2 pots of new from 5pm Fridays and Saturdays. Not too shabby at all.

A Hour is Happy

Is our website’s name gaining a foothold throughout the editorial world?

STUDENT ID’s?

Perhaps it’s because I’m getting that little bit older, but are there many STUDENT ID HAPPY HOURS around anymore?

When I was a student I remember them clearly, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen the “show your student ID for half price drinks”.

Does anyone know? Cos it might be worth signing up to do a Masters, getting a Student Card, then deferring (this process is free btw)
