Happy's Stork Lounge and Liquor Store

We stopped by today for a couple of reasons. We needed a bottle of Casamigos tequila to take to a party this evening, and we wanted to see the new NBV location of Happy's Lounge and Liquor Store. I have heard for years that Happy's is a fun, casual, old school kind of bar that everyone has been to at least once. It is a neighborhood kind of bar where most of the patrons know each other. It has been around for years. It actually looks comfortable and welcoming inside. I took a few pics. They serve wine, beer, and cocktails. You can also get bar food like a Philly cheesecake that tastes really good. The menu is limited but has enough popular meals to make everyone happy! There is free parking in a large attached lot. They have outdoor dining on the patio. Smoking is allowed outside on the patio. There are other businesses around it. We plan to come back and have a Happy's experience.

Nice bar in term of price/quality compared to location. Lot of people complaining about "scary locals" but I haven't had any problem, had good talk with few peoples. I ordered few long islands, every other tasted differently than the previous ones 🤔😐😅 Just would be good to do some kind of menu. The restaurant within the bar is amazing and really improved whole experience.

Great dive bar. Not much parking. Look for the holes in the wall, still there from a gun fight that started at the old Dean Martins bar that used to be next door. Said to be third oldest bar in Miami.

I have been coming to Happy’s Stork Lounge for a while now. Nelson has been always so helpful and always going the extra mile to keep customers happy! If you’re around the beach area this is a MUST

I have never seen a more wretched Hive of scum and villainy. I generally love and seek out dive bars, but this one is just plain stupid: you can smoke cigarettes but not cigars? Drinks are way overpriced, I mean come on you're a dive bar. Looking forward to the place being torn down.

Happy's is my favorite late night bar in South Florida! Friendly service, great drinks, and very clean. The Indian restaurant Rasoi inside is amazing as well, come check it out!!!

I love that place there is so much fun. The people of all different and fun to be with. Had a lot of laughs and a lot of kisses and hugs. Prices are reasonable and everybody there are Friendly. The owners are great people really nice atmosphere, and the bathrooms are all fixed now.

Just a nightmare: super dirty, they don’t have a menu, and the bartender knows only three cocktails: margarita, mojito, and Long Island. But the most annoying part is that none of these cocktails contain alcohol. I think they dilute their alcohol with water or just add super tiny portion of it. Never visit this place, like NEVER! The Indian food is ok. Not great, but ok.

If you are looking for a friendly dive bar in the middle of all the overpriced Miami glamor, this is the spot. Betty took care of me today. So friendly and helpful! Inside is dark and ice cold, which was a welcome atmosphere. Get a generous shot and a beer, this isn't the place for a fancy cocktail. Love this bar and will definitely be coming back!

Happy is a dive bar and liquor store. It used to be a hole in the wall type of thing but now it's more a regular bar merged with an Indian restaurant that's really good. Drinks are regular prices. I had a Moscow mule which was $14. Free parking on the parking lot outside.

There was a joke about the pre gentrification Happy's Stork that drinks were so cheap there that nine months after a round of drinks the stork would pay a visit. Located on the North Bay Village causeway and a quick hop over to full moon beach, the redeveloped Happy's still has the same dimly lit atmosphere, drinks and jukebox whether pregame, after party, or making it a night here. You can also take the party to go! That's right - they have a package store where you can take your bevvies for a drive. I met up with friends who started the party early here and even had upscale and tasty bar bites. I ended up getting here later and enjoyed a nightcap of a zacapa mojito & raising a toast with friends. Food wise, I can vouch for their fries and sweet bbq sauce!

Funny place. Six of us were enjoying game #7 of the baseball World Series at a table and had been there over an hour when we were suddenly asked to move to the bar so the table would serve the Indian Restaurant guests. Seems Happy's is a Sports Bar, Liquor Store and Indian Restaurant - all in one!...with certain seating demarcations. The beers were cold, the tequila was plentiful, the Dodgers won however, being asked to move so abruptly was mystifying. The Indian food did smell vey good and I would not hesitate to return and sit on that side of the room to experience their menu!!

Betty is the BEST Bartender! Thank You for always making Fabulous Drinks You make Happy's an always Wonderful experience!

This is the best bar!!! They are dog friendly, I love coming here everyone is so nice and kind they are knowledgeable on all types of drinks and genuinely care about the experience you have. Lots of fun board games , and a nice Jukebox if you'd like to play any song.They also recently opened an Indian food restaurant called Rasoi which is some of the most delicious Indian food I've ever ate.Love that I live so near I can walk over.

I've reviewed this establishment twice previously, posting my original one some years ago and the update more recently. Unfortunately, though all I really did was to describe this place in detail and explain what makes Happy's Stork a true "dive bar", including the general appearance and some of the characters you'll find seated at the bar, Yelp HQ chose to pull both reviews for "reinforcing cultural stereotypes". I would never knowingly do that; I feel my reviews were simply descriptive of who/what you'll find here at Happy's Stork. If doing so reinforces some form of stereotype, then I'd respectfully suggest that their issue is with this bar, not my review IMO. That said, this place gets 5 stars from me all the way! What you'll find here at Happy's Stork is a true down and dirty dive bar with a liquor store attached to it, and a doorway that allows customers to pass between the two. This bar generally lacks cleanliness, though it must obviously pass inspection. The bright paper cutouts advertising their specials and eclectic mix of "stuff" on the walls appears to have been here for years, and you'll often find an equally eclectic mix of customers here as well, from decently dressed people stopping by for a night cap to others who are anything but. There's also a pool table in the back room. Drinks are well-poured and generally inexpensive. In short, while trying to avoid any stereotypes or being insensitive to anyone, this place is everything a great dive bar should be, and in the modern era of bars in the Miami area that have doormen and charge $15 or more for a mixed drink, coming here to Happy's Stork is a refreshing throwback to a much simpler time when you could show up in a faded t-shirt and holey jeans and flip flops, belly up to the bar and feel right at home without judgement.

Thank you for hosting our team fundraiser! We had a blast dressing up and supporting our favorite cause. Happy Stork was full of great energy, yummy food and delicious drinks! They even had a spin wheel for the brave ones who wanted to try a specialty drink. The staff was so nice,drinks were constant and plenty of parking close by. I love supporting local businesses, especially ones who treat you like family and help support our community!

One of the last authentic Dive bars left. Great people mostly regulars who know each other. Drinks are cheap and strong. Employees are pleasant and have work here for years.

Service is great BUT if you order from the liquor store the prices are ridiculous a bottle of vodka that you can get for 13-14$ sells for 19-20$ you need to match prices to the market. Not ok.

I learned about this place in 2018 when I first moved to Miami and I've been a customer of the lounge and the store. I LOVE THIS PLACE!! The customer service is superb you feel like family! Don't even get me started on the fact that they are open til 5 in the morning AND they DELIVER! Like seriously order online or call on they will come to you everything is reasonably priced including delivery fees. Reliable transactions and they take cash! These guys F*ing ROCK! And BETTY IS THE BEST!!!

Love the new menu at Happy's. I couldn't believe that I could even get a healthy meal here!!! Chicken was fresh and juicy. Loved the homemade Caesar dressing. My husband had the Philly Cheesesteak. All fresh and homemade. They even fly in the bread from Philly. He loved it. Still has the local neighborhood bar feel. Love the new location.

Great bartenders! I love all of them! Very friendly and reliable. Friendly oriented place!

Garbage. I missed their delivery by 3 minues because God forbid I had real life issues at the moment and couldn't answer immediately they decided to cancel my order. That's not all, I call weeks later and was told," I wont help you, you missed one delivery." They are overpriced anyways, ten bucks minimum over on any liquor you purchase. They are rude and their shitty bar shows as much.

I'm no stranger to dive bars, but I have to admit I was a bit skeptical the first time I walked into this place. Your first impression is probably less like Happy Storks and more like Marabou Storks, (Africans call them undertaker birds if that helps you any). This watering hole reminds me of when I was stationed in Cheyenne, Wyoming and I used to frequent 1 out of only 2 bars in the city. To give you an idea of what I'm talking about, the local "ladies" thought scrunchies were fashionable, would spit dip into empty Mountain Dew bottles, and would tell me things like; "Did you know we're famous for the world's largest rodeo?" I think it's funny that they use coasters when the bar looks like it's taken a few direct hits from a XM307 automatic grenade launcher. The "decorations" include baseball cards, in front of me was Bo Jackson and Al Rosen (Jews play professional sports outside of Israel?) and spring break pictures so outdated that the contestants could make a contemporary reunion tour called Grannies Gone Wild. You could spend a good hour laughing at their teased hair, neon bikinis and make-up that could help them pass as clones of Bret Michaels. The men's room reminds me of the time I took a tour of the USS Los Angeles, the oldest submarine in the US Navy's fleet; monochrome, grimy and uncomfortably small. I don't even think there's a door on the stall. Being a Dominican York/Nuyorican I instantly recognize that the bartender, Yenecy, is a Big Apple Boricua, but how in the world did she end up in place that even Amy Winehouse would call sleazy? I really don't care why, I'm just grateful. She's a whirlwind of energy, is always smiling, and shares a quality with my brother, Bo; she can talk to anyone about anything. That's a skill lacking in corporate, assembly line bartending that's endemic to Miami. Besides attentive service she hooked me up twice! She gave me 3 free Alabama Slammers (a $9 value) and 10 jukebox credits. One of my jukebox selections was "Oh Sheila" by Ready for the World. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbL2lMn34Oo After everyone yelled out that they love Prince?! Half the bar started dancing, there was only 9 of us (I was tapping my foot so that accounts for the half). It's still a mystery how Storks has such an astonishing collection of booze, yet slangs them at wholesale prices. I guess it's because it's attached to a liquor store. Or maybe because the regulars only order the big three; Bud, Miller Lite and Corona, and they have no idea what to charge me for the "fancy" beers. Some of the fancy beers by the bottle include; Franzikanzer, Newcastle, Stella, and Spaten. Having just returned from Amsterdam, I ordered my usual Dutch breakfast...Hash Coffee and a Spacecake please....no but for real I asked for a Grolsch. For those of you that prefer spirits; Belvedere Intense Vodka, Pyrat Rum, Tanqueray Rangpur Gin, Bushmills Irish Whiskey, and Cachaça 51 for making "Happy Style" Caipirinhas were at most $6. Most drinks falling between $3-4 range. We got completely inebriated and the bill came up to a modest $40 (for 3 doods). As we left I yawned and said to my co-worker Yelper Mike D., "am I too drunk to work on patients?" the entire bar responded with an audible gasp and demanded to know what hospital I worked at...fun times. I give Storks my stamp of approval as an ideal pre- or after party location. ***As you're leaving be careful of the dash cams and don't speed over the causeways, the North Bay Village po-pos collect their pensions on the causeway!

Best bar north of south beach. It's a dive bar so it is what it is but always a ton of fun, great people, and cheap drinks. Have a few beers at shuckers and come here for the real late night fun.

X of a great place to be able to spend a pay check for a night of the battery and clearance style women of the night that you don't have to tip past the tip and that's just the tip

I've been coming here for 7 years and it's always been my local go to bar , from irish car bombs , to jäger bombs and 5am bottles of jameson. and how can i forget my favorite bartender nelson ; everyone there is like family once you go it'll be hard to choose another late night hang out ; trust me

Such a hole in the wall. It was the only liquor store open near north bay village after 8pm. When we went inside the whole store was smelling like cigarettes because the guy at the front was smoking. The Bar has been closed almost 150 days so far (they have a chart in the liquor store counting the days). They also had run out of triple sec (essential for margaritas). The man who checked us out wasn't in a good mood it seemed and didn't interact with us much. Overall not a very pleasant experience but we got a bottle of Jose Cuervo 750ml for 25.99. Do with that information as you please, no receipt so I guess no returns. Will probably come back due to nearby liquors being closed early. Thanks for staying open late during hurricanes and all!

This will be coming from a Pacific North Westerner, and I'm pretty bias because no where near my place of residence can I be out and having an adult beverage at 6am or past 2am at that. I live for a good dive bar and this place was it. My fiancé and I stayed across the street for a night, awaiting our cruise to embark in Miami. We figured we'd grab some food and a drink since we flew in pretty late. We found out via Yelp! that Stork's didn't serve food so we went somewhere next door. We called Stork's and they happily said that we could bring in our own food. We decided to take the food back to the hotel to eat. After we were done eating, my fiancé looked at me and said, "You know what would be good right now?" And in sync, we both said, "A DRINK!" The rest is history! We walked back across the street and entered a smoked filled room, that was blaring with intoxicated voices. We found a seat at the bar and ordered two Long Island's. We met a few people who were also from out of town. 3 Long Island's (each) later, we stepped out back to get some fresh air. We looked up at the sky and the sun was rising in the near distance. I looked at the time and it was 6AM!!! We thought this place shut down at 5am. Turns out, if business is still booming at 5am, they stay open. We decided the smoke was a little too much for our virgin lungs and walked home. We fell asleep and woke up just in time to check out and get to our cruise. Needless to say, we will definitely be back. This was by far the best little dive bar I've been to yet. Highly recommended if you're looking for that and only that. A dive bar where it's legal to smoke inside an enclosed space, stiff drinks and a good time!

Hideaway local spot. Melissa amazing bartender. Relaxing. Always a go to place for drinks

If you love dives, you will fall in love. Not for the faint of heart or morals. Shady people doing shady things but not so blatantly as to make you uncomfortable. Happy's has been in N. Bay Village for what seems like forever, so long that they got "grandfathered" in to the law that prohibits bars from being a certain distance from schools. There is a school a stone's throw away. ROCK ON! The drink are HELL-A affordable. There is a package store attached where you can buy anything from a low quality porn to a Vic's inhaler. It is walking distance from where I live so I can stumble home after having indulged. The bar tenders are cool. Elaine makes the BEST Oatmeal cookie shots.

Grew up in Milwaukee, lived in Miami for the last 15 years! The best thing is I'm not in Aventura anymore! This is the closest thing to a Milwaukee tavern we've seen in Florida! Like Hallendale beach's Flanigan's (ie Cheers) but a true dive bar! Brings back memories!

Sadly and as pathetic as it may sound, I've been patronizing this dump since the late 80's. To call it a "dive" would be an insult to dive bars. This place is a toilet. A dump. An eyesore. A health hazard. An embarrassment. A blight. I get it, proprietor--You own the entire mall, thus you could care less about the garbage, squalor, disrepair and dust at this place and the attached liquor store. FAIL. I used to be a fan. Maybe it was nostalgia, maybe charity, maybe pathos. No more. Burn this place, and the adjacent liquor store, to the ground. Start over. Stinky, falling apart, squalor, waste, dirt, and disrepair. What a dump. Burn it. Burn, baby, burn. Why so harsh, Cabeza? Holes in the men's room wall. Garbage and boxes stacked in the space. Big, hairy dust bunnies hanging from the embarrassed ceiling. Gross. Filthy. Sad. Whew, pass the hand sanitizer.

Ahhhh, the Happy Stork (as is lovingly referred to by beach folk). Perhaps it is named this because after a visit or two here, 9 months later the stork comes to visit? Happy Stork has always been a beacon of light for those that are looking to keep the party going at 2 am and buy another bottle. It has saved many parties in my time. The Happy Stork is both a liquor store and very divey bar. I have never partook in the bar side, but it doesn't look like a place to chill. Still, if ultra divey is your thing the Stork can provide you that. So next time you are on the beach and looking to keep your party going, look no further and stop in this place. Open till 5 am daily... and that's music to my lush ears! ;)

After party! From Trio a group of yelpers met here. Located at a very small plaza, thankfully it has a lighted sign you can see from the street. Must admit I was a little hesitant to walk in. Sign says 'liquor store' so it confused us a bit but, once inside and with friends, we had a fun time. Jukebox with a good selection of music did not stop playing. Beer was around $4 and drinks $5. Very laid back, come as you are type of place. Bartender was friendly, quick with drinks but take note, there's a rule... 'everyone must have a drink in their hands while there'. But don't worry, they respect designated drivers, for those, he prepared water with lime (to look like a vodka seltzer) so you don't feel left out. Very cool on his part. The fact of this being next to the liquor store has it's benefits. If the don't have what you ordered, either you or the bartender can take a few steps and get it - mostly beer. Cool place, specially with friends.

Wow - where to start..... We arrived, we sat. No bartender and 3 other patrons enjoying beers. We sat some more. And then some more. About 20 minutes goes by - and we are thinking the bartender is in the john dropping a deuce or something. Well, apparently, the bartender also looks after the attached package liquor store and was over there. Finally, 'Happy' shows up looking, sounding and acting more like Droopy Dog and gets us our beers. This guy moved like a turtle after a stroke - slow as molasses. The place might be a decent walk to local hangout or place to play pool but not someplace I'd hang at regularly.

This spot is very clutch to stack up on some liquor for the North Bay Village, Normandy and North Miami area. They stay open late.

Those living in and around the 79th street causeway are blessed with this wonderfully dated and relatively mundane dive bar. Ok, so it will never be a destination bar, but if it were within a 1/2 mile from my house, I'd probably find myself there all the time. That's because cheap drinks are harder and harder to find in Miami, so spots like Happy Stork are a refreshing break. Uniquely, there's a full liquor store attached to this bar - which you can easily walk over to from within, but this review pertains only to the bar side where there's a clear lack of cleanliness or familiar modern touches (although there is a pool table and Touch Tunes Jukebox). The bathrooms or general aesthetics may come across as gross to some, but that's exactly what I have come to expect from most dive bars in Miami. If that's not your style then it's probably not worth your time. The bar is in a small strip-mall style building with a small parking lot which likely doesn't get too crowded on account of the bar. While I may not be back for a while, it's certainly a great cheap option for those living in the area who just want a little company and a cold beer.

I figured Happy's Stork was an appropriate choice for my 400th review, as we did enjoy a rather epic after-party here the other night. This place reminds me of Ms. Newby's - a Panama City Beach dive bar near and dear to my heart - so I immediately took to it. It's a liquor store and bar - the perfect combo, since every libation under the sun is just steps away for the bartenders. My +1 and I were the first to arrive (on the recommendation of a fellow Yelper) - and yes, it was a little uncomfortable walking into a place like this in our cute little outfits ... but the awkwardness quickly disappeared, and a whole hoard of fellow Yelpers soon joined. The jukebox was ours - we danced, we sang, we drank. The bartender was great, took excellent care of us and helped all the Yelpers feel at home. The place has CHARACTER, all the way around. So yeah, definitely an epic evening. Happy's Stork is my kinda dive. The one downside - smoking. As with any bar of this nature, your clothes, hair, purse, etc. become infested with secondhand smoke. But, still worth enduring for a good time at Happy's Stork.

If you were looking for that quintessential dive, look no further, Happy's is here to oblige. Happy's is a spot for the good ol' boys and girls, many of them now wayward wanderers leading them to this mishmash watering hole for a communal connection and a game of pool. The bartender, Foxy, addresses you with a familiarity like you're cousins and with a hearty dose of affection, he'll pour you another. Whether it's Ludacris, Boys II Men, or Bruce Springsteen, the contemporary TouchTunes jukebox has something for everyone, even the beer-swilling, old-man regular. "Motown Philly" might incite an (impressive) dance-off between the least likely characters and with a ring of the old-fashioned register, you're only a bar-stool away from a stranger's even stranger story. Happy's is a slice of life and a comfort blanket for many. The raspy voices echoing from ongoing conversations point to one too many nights spent in this smoke-filled cocktail lounge and with cigarette's in hand, the hoarsely-voiced clientele shares chuckles and shameless flirtation. Happy's is a refuge for the people you can't even imagine outside of this bar. The regulars here are as present as the random decor on the walls. For them, this bar never closes.

This place is awesome! It's a liquor store with a bar, or a bar with a liquor store. Either way, it's totally amusing with the characters that are in there and the employees that work there! They're small on either side (liquor store and lounge), but it gets the job done. They have most beers that people drink and all the spirits you can think of. They do have wine, although not the largest selection. They even sell my favorite potato chips, "Dirty" Potato Chips. :) Happy Stork's Lounge was even voted the Best Dive Bar of 2008 by the Miami New Times! And its DEFINITELY a Dive Bar. I mean, it defines the term. Grungy, dingy, dark, smelly... Strange characters... It has all the important ingredients of a Dive Bar! And with a built-in store, it's a very convenient place indeed!

Since I moved up to North Bay Village I have been trying to find new places to drink closer to home. Happy's is the ultimate in dive bar. Cheapest drinks I've ever had in Miami were here. The people are down to earth and out to have fun without spending the night behind ropes, in tight dresses and maxing out their credit cards. You can't smoke inside and there is a liquor store connected to the bar. Just in case you want to grab some roadies, I mean, drinks for later at home. Free parking, cheap drinks, no attitudes and mostly industry people enjoying what's left of their night. I might have to become a regular... Stay tuned...

Few bars survive in North Bay Village and Normandy Isles. Why that is, I'll never know. With the amount of new high rise condos contributing to the heightened density of this waterfront hamlet, there should be no reason why a couple extra bars couldn't survive here. But for the time being, this area is ruled by Schuckers and it's little punk step brother, Happy's Stork Lounge. It's definitely a dive, but contrary to Arwen G's observation; I found the inside rather clean and odorless. Women do have a better sense of smell, so maybe that fact contributes to the discrepancy. Extra points for the baseball and hockey cards laminated onto the bar counter top accompanied by early 80's pix of Miami studs with beach babes in french cut swim suits! Oh and I love how the place has an open doorway to it's neighboring liquor store. You'll never have to worry about running out of Slim Jim's or Funions to accompany your PBR here !

This place is fantastic. Down to the totally 80s spring break pictures that are embedded in the bar at the end near the pool table. $2.25 for a beer. Interesting regulars. Juke Box. Connected to a liquor store. Dark. Dirty. I think that about sums up a good dive bar.

ok...so after an awesome Elite Event...rumor had it the after party was happening at this place...so..of we went..and yes...it got crazy! This place is literally a hole in the wall...kinda sketchy nonetheless...but if you go with the right group of people..it can be all sorts of fun!!! The bartender really hooked us all up with a bunch of shots and free drinks!! and the jukebox was filled with all the right tunes..so much so..it led to some dancing. Overall , good times!!!

So, if this is where my next century of reviews starts, then I can only predict another 99 great places to visit. Em & I were celebrating him finishing a huge school paper, and he being the bar & beer lover that he is wanted to celebrate somewhere low key where we wouldn't be charged to enter, and where we wouldn't leave our savings at the bar... enter Jose Luis and his thorough knowledge of every single place in the city. Wanting to go somewhere we hadn't been to before JL was right on point with this one. Never would we have pulled into this little 4-5 storefront strip mall, especially not at midnight. You walk in and are greeted by a huge cloud of smoke, a lady with disheveled hair wearing a baby-doll dress from 1992, a man passed out on the bar counter, and a jukebox playing every sorta song you can imagine. This was just the place we were looking for!!!! We grouped a couple of stools by the front door (which was eventually opened for a little while to let our lungs rest a bit). JL and Em went to get our drinks, and got to experience one of the benefits of this bar - it is adjacent to a liquor store (entrance to the store is actually through the bar). Em ordered a beer they didn't have behind the bar, so the bartender took ten steps into the liquor store got the beer and Emilio was happy :-) Nothing worst than craving a beer and having the bar tender tell you they don't have it - not a problem at this place. As the night (or should I say morning) progressed more people came in, but the place never got super packed. Total strangers started making out with each other, a super duper drunk guy danced by himself, then behind some girls, then came to ask me, and unfazed with rejection kept dancing happily - love it!!! Love drunk people who dance - they're the best!!! In all, we had a very good conversation, spent time with a great friend, and discovered a new little place in this crazy city of glitz. Not sure we'll make it back often, but we know it's there when we need it. Just a note - I'm not a fan of bars and I don't smoke - if I was/did either or both, I'd definitely have given this place 5 stars (which I'm sure is what Em would have given it).

I'm a sucker for a good dive bar and Happy's Stork fits the bill. I came in with a rowdy bunch of Yelpers that were already a bit tipsy from an elite event across the street. Even better. It's small, it's a hole in the wall, it's dirty, but it's oh-so-divey and I loved it. I guess I should order a beer at a place like this, but I'd been sipping on fruity drinks all night so I went with a bay breeze. How much? Four bucks. No, I'm not kidding. Places in Miami have charged me $15 for the same drink, and this amazing, dumpy little dive bar sold me one for four dollars. Glorious! I'm a cheap date. Two or three of these, and I'm yours. I'm kidding, but seriously...I could have a really good time here. And we DID have a good time. A great time! Pool table in the back, video game/arcade machines next to the bar, and a smelly racist at the bar wearing overalls and slurring because he had clearly been kicking 'em back. My only gripe was the cigarette smoke. I left smelling like an ashtray and it made my hair disgusting. I also woke up this morning with a sore throat because the smell of the cigarette smoke was so bad. Next time, I'll pop outside for air throughout the evening because this place is too good to pass up if you're in the mood for a good dive.

Fox is the best bartender!! We got here and he was so quick.. ...... He was funny too!!! Then we went back and Yanecy was our bartender.......and how wonderful was she..... Really dive bars are still alive ...thnks...yanecy&fox

Happys, you complete me!!!! I love this bar, I think if it weren't so dirty and shady I wouldn't love it as much

Went back for another round & wasn't disappointed. $2.75 domestic beer, $3.50 import and specialty beer & $2.75 well drinks before 8p.m. daily, YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT IT. and now with Directv Sunday NFL Ticket, IT IS ON!!! Just a lil divey bar with great service. Luv it when I can make it in. Prost.

Best happy hour on the beach. from 11 to 8 pm. friendly bartenders and patrons. just an old fashion dive bar. wanna mingle with the locals?. then stop by, have a beer or two. you will love it.

Excellent dive. Sebastian, Fox, Gabe and let's not forget Yanecy... are all awesome. Reasonably priced drinks, juke box, pool table, punching bag? What more could one ask for... Lol. Highly, highly recommend as your new neighborhood haunt. You won't be disappointed.

This is a great place to go after partying in the clubs. It's super chill and is open until 5 AM. The drink prices are exceptionally reasonable for Miami. It is a small dive bar connected to a liquor store. Definitely a lot of locals and a mixed crowd.

If you're looking to have a party or just sedated this is the place to go to. Although their prices are more expensive then total wine, it's conveniently located and they have so many different types of alcohol. Which is amazing.

Good local liquor store attached to a dive bar. The prices aren't bad but the bottle I bought for a last minute gift smelled like smoke. Beware if you are allergic to smoke!

dear ronchy little place off the cosway why did i like u so! driving around looking for new places we stumbled upon this little joint attached to a liquor store inside we met all sorts of strange people pluss a dog whatever they didnt have stocked in the bar you could go get from a cooler at the liquor store and take it back to the bar area everyone that we encountred here was super nice and had an interesting story! dont expect to go here and like it if you are into south beach's fru fru crowed this place has a jukebox going with old country music mixed with hip hop depending on whos there that night....i def recomend for anyone who likes dive bars to check this place out they have pool tables and everyones drunk so by the end of the night you all know eachother! their beer selection was pretty impressive concidering its size and appearance!!! so if theydont have it at the bar swing threw the liquor store and you'll see what i mean (beacuse in real life the bartenders, though super nice arent beer fluent) recomend you go in at least a group of four for your safty hehe but more so incase you cant handle the fact strangers will talk to you dispite them hitting on u or not. i didnt give it a five because my chimeys were a bit pricy concidering the location (but still falls in under the beach prices) p.s. dont forget to talk to the guy at the liquore store he always had something interesting to say and trys to help you out if you seam to be interested in the same stuff he likes hehe

Here I sit, hair radiating the stale stench of cigarettes and liver furiously churning out the toxins of too many glasses of cheap wine, as I bask in the hungover afterglow of another happy night at Happy's Stork Lounge. Not for the faint of heart, Happy's is a true dive bar - dirty and rough with a whiff of genuine, testorone-fueled danger. Not some mildly funky joint where hipsters in ironic glasses sip PBRs and wax philosophical about ridiculous bands with ridiculous names. This is the real deal, a mix of neighborhood locals and out-and-out riff raff. Think Cheers, but with a hardcore rap sheet. The place is long and narrow with a real juke box - as opposed to one of those pansy-ass computers. And if you dare to drop a few quarters on some tunes, select your songs with care. One ill-timed Bryan Adams ballad could result in a quick crack of a pool cue across your head. If your drunkeness tends to be accompanied by nostalgia for childhood pleasures, Happy's features not one, but two full-sized arcade games. And if you've never seen a coked-up hooker going for the top Galaga ranking, you simply haven't lived, my friend. Happy's restrooms are titillatingly frightening, imbuing the place with an extra element of danger. Will there be soap? Is there any toilet paper? Will you catch Hepatitis? A mutant species of crabs? It's anyone's guess. The women's room has a skylight. Which is just weird. And kind of creepy. Makes me wonder if we've got some really nimble peeping Toms in the neighborhood. But it's all part of the Happy's charm. And perhaps the best part of Happy's is the bartender - Yanecy, who somehow remains ladylike while corraling the more deviant behaviors of Happy's patrons. Aaah, Happys. How I love thee. Never change, you dirty old whore of a bar.
