Street parking was easy to find which is a plus. Its walk-ins only but my party of 6 were able to get a table no problem on a Friday night. To drink, I started with the Oolong Martinez. It was good but way too strong for me so I just gave it to my husband lol. I opted for the Kiss & Tell instead except I asked for no mezcal. Much lighter and refreshing! I believe they have a downstairs lounge called "Nightshade" which serves their own special menu. My goal is to go downstairs next time! Their food is GAS!!! Everything I ate was a 5/5 for me - especially the party fries and the moon burger. We got the deviled eggs and funeral potatoes for the table and I was blown away (both of these menu items rotate flavors monthly). Also FYI - They have a photobooth!!!! I love photobooths!

Happy Day Tavern is situated on the corner of Elston and Pulaski. Based on looking at its website…read moreand its location only a few blocks from our homestead, my lovely wife and I decided to give them a try even though it was a frigid Saturday evening. We walked in and noticed that the crowd was nonexistent, even though there was a football playoff broadcast on all of its screens. There was the bartender and one other fellow, who might have been the manager or just a pal of the bartender. My love and I each chose a Revolution draft beer, and were a bit taken back that the total tab was a shade over $20 for our two beers. Frankly with the lack of ambience at this neighborhood dive bar attempting to be a sports bar or a hip downtown-ish establishment, it was a bit uncomfortable sitting at the bar. Needless to say, we did not stick around to experience the Saturday "DJ Night" as touted on its website.

And no beer menu - we needed to scan a code to see that. I get that the tap is probably rotating often but I'm tired of using my phone for in person experiences. The atmosphere is open - exposed brick - basic decor. Water was not only brought in a lovely large carafe but someone even refilled our glasses mid way through dinner from the carafe for us. Our server was attentive and wonderful despite some really oddball questions. He was able to recommend certain items from the menu. The beet salad appetizer was enormous and gorgeous. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and although I usually get a chicken sandwich, this one knocked it out of the park. Thinly grilled chicken with a thin layer of pepper jack cheese and another thin layer of kimchi mayo. I skipped the jalapeños and I didn't need the fried tomato. The sandwich is pretty messy but absolutely worth the effort. The garlicky fries are flavorful and so crispy. Maybe a little too garlicky for my taste but still excellent.

Good if looking for any cheap beer or basic liquors. The bar has a few TVs for watching games or whatever. A few good cheap drinks. It had $3.50 PBR on draft the last time here. There's not much of a draft selection. A lot more is available in bottles and cans. There's a few local crafts along with the big corporate ones. Just not a whole lot to be honest. The liquor selection isn't that good either but at least it has pretty good prices. Basic dive bar. It's nothing at all fancy. They also may have pizza but it's probably best not to get any though.

We also had the short rib dumplings - both dumplings were so delicious, the mushroom butter dumplings were more creamy/buttery whereas the short rib dumplings had more of a bbq savory taste. The dan dan noodles were saucy and delicious, and the papaya salad was light and refreshing. The poached prawns were also tasty and refreshing, and the bulgogi steak was definitely our favorite dish with excellent korean flavors and tender juicy pieces of steak.
