Happy's Irish Pub

Staff are very welcoming, the place is clean, nice music, food is great, reasonable prices and the drinks are made very good. I love how the staff was very attentive to me when I went there. They checked on my continuously to make sure my drinks stay filled. I love that. Keep up the great work!

Veteran owned and on base! Great little pub to stop in when visiting my soldier for an early Christmas 🎄

Wonderful first time experience. Went there for lunch, after the lunch rush. Service was fast. Prices were normal, food tasted good, and portions were good. Our server Talon was nice. Not sure where the cheesecake comes from, but we recommend ordering it just like Talon said we should. Haha! Will visit again!

Visited on a week night to watch some March Madness and had a great time. I only got the cheese curds and they were very good. Kitchen closed at 8:30. I probably would’ve gotten an entree had it stayed open later. Pub has a lot of character and impressive bourbon selections. I would definitely like to come here with some lads for a few pints. Outdoor seating makes this an ideal day or night drinking spot.

The pretzel was ginormous pretty darn good too lots of great food good 0lace to watch the game servers were awesome and did a good job in a packed house Mario had a good time and is stuffed and just wants to take a nap nap

I stopped here for dinner while driving across the country. I ordered the Ruben w/fried pickles, and a tall beer. I watched football, then ordered wings to go. The waitresses/bar tenders were beautiful and kind. Highly recommended!

This place has allowed me to sit & relax. Drink a pitcher of beer. Kids eat free. Outstanding customer service & friendly people all around! My kiddos play in the play area while I sit at the tables outdoors.

I believe, they give 15% off (maybe higher) if you go in uniform. Anyways. Ordered the chicken wrap with chipotle sauce which was very good. Very fulfilling too. The fries were thin cut and good too. They have signature shots where are overpriced ($7), but maybe that’s cheap me talking. Anyways, it’s worth a stop if on post and don’t want to go to B-Dubs or off base to eat.

The food was delicious. I had the fish and chips. The fish was extremely fresh and the chips were perfect. The kids meals were free and the manager brought the children homemade crayons and a coloring sheet. I enjoyed a high end bourbon (Blanton's) at half price!!! Just an all around wonderful time!!! The staff was really friendly and attentive as well.

It's pretty decent, kind of small, no booths, it's definitely a good pub with a really tasty menu. There's no good ventilation so you're going to leave smelling like food. If you're going for the food I definitely definitely recommend the fish & chips.. It's incredible!

Great place to hang out with friends while the kids can run around and play on the small playground. And they let us bring the kids inside during trivia last Friday. All in all, great time! Took a little bit of time to get a server, but they kept up with a full house.

Nice place to come and relax. The fish and chips are my favorite. My bartender was very busy and still managed to serve me promptly and was very sweet. Not sure what her name was but she has really pretty dark brown hair about shoulderblades length, brown eyes, wears Dimond earrings and has a great smile. She made my day!

First time here and Food was GREAT best Ruben (donny made it) I've had in along time. The first bartender we had was awesome Becca I think was her name. She was ready to fill our drinks ASAP always making sure customers were taken care of.

Really nice little Irish Pub in Ft. Bliss' Freedom Crossing entertainment area which replaced the origional. Stopped by for lunch after an AAFES haircut and had the fish and chips while my friend got a Ruben...both were very nice, especially for the money. Staff was very friendly and attentive. I'm looking forward to coming back after duty hours to try out some of their bar options, looked like a really nice setup.

Typical pub atmosphere. Staff was friendly. A little slow refilling drinks but I wasn't in a hurry. Chill environment. If I ever deploy again I'd consider revisiting. Wish they had shirts or shot glasses with the business name on there.

Great place to relax after a hard day on the job. Bring yourself, few friends, or coworkers to enjoy the laid back vibe of this dive. Have a beer or an Old Fashioned with a Burger.

Good place to Chill outside next to a fire and drink a beer. Wings are good. Didn't try anything will go back to try some of the menu out.

Great atmosphere and music. Service is very good. Although my wife and I didn't eat, the bar menu seems to have a nice selection. Great selection on tap and the signature drinks offer a wide variety. Great after work place on a Friday, not crowded.

Great drinks and service. Food came out quick. My only gripe is that they overcooked my burger when i asked for medium.

Fish n chips is great, along with the tarter sauce, though the chips were so-so. Mixed drinks are a toss up...I liked the "Luck of the Irish" but hated the "Irish Margarita". Server/bartender was awesome, basically, service was great. Treatment of my service dog was outstanding, made him feel welcome from the start. TL:DR Great server and food, drinks so-so. Treated service animal with extra respect. Would eat at again.

Happy's is a good place to go in the evening when you want to hang out with friends or do karaoke on fridays. During the week, it's not really crowded and the air conditioning is only a little better than the outside heat. The food to me, personally, isn't really that great.

Food was good, however the Reubens were skimpy on meat, but heavy on Chips. Fish was awesome, 3 small pieces, lots of fries. I love a sandwich with lots of meat.

Service was slow. Food was good. Waitresses seemed more interested in having drinks with the people at the bar than ensuring we had napkins.

They were out of fish and chips, cheese curds are amazing as usual, but not bad for a lunch stop. Have to try more menu items.

They give you alot of waffle fries. The Ruben was OK, skimpy on the meat but the sauce they put on it was good.

We dropped by on St. Patrick’s Day around 9pm. It was comfortably busy with a lively crowd both inside and outside. The drinks were reasonably priced, but the food the food was a letdown—pretty stale and not at all fresh. Service was slow, especially since we were sitting outside. At one point, the waitress even forgot one of my drinks but still added it to my bill. Luckily, I noticed and had it taken off. Overall, the bar's okay for drinks, but the food could be a lot better, and the service seemed inexperienced.

I didn't take any photos of the food. We tried the giant pretzel with cheese, the fish and chips, and a burger with bacon. Non of which was to rave about..., just average. My husband had a draft beer that had a lot of head on it, and it fizzed for nearly 5 minutes. I've never seen that anywhere before. We ended up here because it was our date night out, and BW's was busy. It was on our bucket list, so we may now check it off. Granted, everything was average, and I don't think we'll return..., but please stop by and make your own review. We may have gone on a difficult evening for staff or a slow night for the chef. I will say the female supervisor, she didn't have the standard uniform as the others, so I am assuming the supervisor, she was super nice, attentive, and the only one working.

We go there on Fridays for the Fish and Chips. Its usually large pieces of really good fish fried in crunchy beer batter. Today it seemed way different. More like small frozen fried fish. It was okay but nothing like their usual.

Food was ok, downside was they only had one bar tender/waitress for the whole place at dinner time. Our food sat at the window for a while and got cold and soggy. She was great, just too busy. Kids ate free with an adult entre though, which was nice.

Arrived at 10:20 PM and they were already closed even when their website showed 12AM. Just lost over 10 customers willing to pay for drinks for another 2 hours. Will not be returning unfortunately even though this is one of the only bars on base.

Manager kicked everyone in the Pub out before closing hours on a Saturday night. Pool table sucked, they have a busted corner pocket and the table isn't even level. Manager was rude when I attempted to use the bathroom before leaving the Pub because they were closing early. No cleaning was even started yes, so idk what the issue was. Girls were alright, that's about it.

Waitress was friendly. However we sat outside for an hour and a half waiting for food, and by the time it got out my wings were cold and a few felt frozen still. The cheese wasn't melted in the cheese curds just a chunk of cheese and the food overall just wasn't good.

This is a great little place to go relax and have a few drinks. The food is amazing and most of the staff is amazing. The only bad thing is one of the managers that is rude and mistreats customers so I went from being a regular to not going anymore and decided to give it another shot but it didn’t go so well when I was trying to pay my bill. Unfortunately I’m not the only person to complain about her and it sucks she’s taking over for Donnie because I will definitely not go here anymore if she’s there

This place seems to get worse every time I come here. Back in June when I came out for my first visit, I really enjoyed it. Good was good, atmosphere, staff, service…everything great. I started coming in for karaoke and I was having a really good time. Slowly, the food seemed to get worse, to the point that I wouldn’t come in for lunch anymore. The service was still good, so I decided to keep coming in for karaoke. Slowly, the service started to decline. Some of the mixed drinks and shots we ordered were questionable, and some weren’t even drinkable. As a bartender, I told the server the round of shots wasn’t what we ordered, and she simply said that’s how they make it here. Then they fired the karaoke jockey. I was told by the staff the owners said he was terrible, but he seemed to do a really good job from my experience, so I’m wondering if there was something else going on. Tonight, I came out to meet some friends and the service was so slow. There wasn’t hardly anyone here. When the server finally came out to check on us again, we ordered another round of drinks. Fifteen-twenty minutes she comes back out and asks if we need anything, clearly having forgotten to put in our order. I will probably give the weekend staff another chance, but I’m not impressed.

The food is good, atmosphere is good, and drink prices are reasonable. However, bartender, Jasmine (believe that is her name), isn’t very pleasant. Have been here two straight days and tried to be as nice as possible; but it’s like it aggravates her. Sorry for trying to be a polite customer. Maybe next time I’ll just be a jerk. Maybe that will work better.

This RUDE waitress.. came up with this “rule” saying I can’t sit, while my friend was standing.. all so someone she knew could have my chair! Horrible service! Literally pushed us outside so her “friend” could have my seat! RUDE! Even after I gave her a 20% tip..

Bartender tried to make me feel guilty about not tipping on top of automatic gratuity. I’m sorry that 20 percent gratuity was not enough on 4 drinks. She took my recipet and pointed at the tip. I told her what are you expecting exactly. Will never return. That’s horrible business.

Stopped here after a movie next door. Was enticed by the football game playing on the screens on the outside patio and the banner advertising the Free Nacho Bar on Monday and Thursday nights (It was early on a Thursday night). This is an Irish pub, but was told they ran out of Guinness on tap last night. Okay, ordered a different brand of beer and asked about getting some Nachos. The waitress said they ran out of something with the nachos and they were so backed up we couldn't get any anyway. What? The place wasn't even close to being packed. Waitress was pretty much MIA after bringing our beers. We won't be back.

As much as I wanted to like this place, I just could not get with it. First time here, I had a burger and fries. The fries was EXTREMELY salty and could not be eaten. With that being said, I figured I would try once more since they may have used too much salt accidentally. Unfortunately, the second time was worse. The servers were too busy taking shots which took them a little while to get to us. Once the food came out, neither one of us could enjoy it due to the HEAVY HEAVY salt. It was so much salt on the food that it instantly gave us both a headache and numb jaws. I will not be back because I cannot eat there without getting high blood pressure afterwards. Food terrible....DRINKS GOOD!!

Ordered 2 drinks and the fish and chips plus a Reuben sandwich. Took forever to get the drinks and there were only 3 others dining inside. Waited 30 minutes after finishing our drinks waiting to order a second round only to realize others were getting their food before us because they never put our order in. Paid our tab and went somewhere else to eat. Won’t be back.
