Doesn't Applebee's get kind of crowded by 7pm on a Friday? The Hour's not real Happy if you can't get a drink in a timely fashion (-;

20+ old timers around a bar......believe me! We'll get drinks with no problem. And yes, by all means, everyone under 30 is invited too!

Have you tried Enzo's Pasta Grill ? They have a nice bar with booths.

Applebees is fine, JA... I'm just going to get there well before 7pm (-;

Besides, 7pm is when they stop the happy hour specials (1/2 price drinks and apps)

Friday the 16th at 7pm at Applebees might be good they have tons of tv's and every game that is on will be on. If you guys will be there I will try to go. Actually the only Happy Hour I have been able to get to was the one at Applebees last March.

My only concern with Smokehouse on a Friday night is that the place gets crowded for dinner. There is not much standing room around the bar. Missarlene may may to comment on this. I would not want to disrupt diners while we are mingling back and forth.

Gravatar for Firefly Firefly Message Firefly

The best thing about Friday Happy Hours (more people can come out) can also create a problem (most places are typically crowded anyway).

While I'm not the world's biggest Applebees fan, their bar area is relatively large and there are also adjacent booths that people with children can utilize. I don't know of many other places that the same can be said for.

Like Firefly mentioned, I'm not sure that Smokehouse can comfortably accomodate 25 HLFers in addition to their normal Friday night dinner crowd. I think the bar seats a maximum of 12 and at least half those seats will be taken by the regular Friday after-work crowd.

As for 5, 6 or 7:00, the start time isn't that important, because people typically come and go according to their own personal schedules anyway. I'll probably go relatively early... before 6, most likely.

Applebee's does have a load of bar area and for that reason I think we need to keep it there. Also, not a bid fan but if we are going to get a crowd and I hope we do we wil need room to comfortably mingle.
CB was great for that because quite frankly we were the only ones in there. I just find the atmosphere in the bar at CB lacking. The rest of the place is so interesting. I could totally see the bar at CB with low lighting and couches. There was a really cool martini bar that I used to go to in MD like that. So cool. OKAY sorry totally off track.

PS I will not get to Applebees til about 7 or so.

Like I said earlier Mike and I can't get there until probably 6:30-7. I'm sure many of you who go at 5 will still be there by then so I don't really think time is a problem. I am open for anywhere but I think a place with a large bar area would be best. So to sum it up my opinion really doesn't mean much. lol

If Bensi were interested in attracting a Happy Hour crowd, it seems to me that they would offer food and drink specials. As far as I can tell, they don't... if I'm wrong, please advise.

Hi Hockeymom! How are you doing?

The daytime HLers are working on a CC HH for a weekend coming up -- I'll bump the thread up and see what is happening. Possibly next Saturday or Sunday (1/17 or 1/18) ...

We also have set up a Szechuan Royale lunch buffet HH for 1/14 at 1 pm. I'll bump that one up, too.

Hoping to make an evening HH myself sometime, but the nights are kind of tough for me...

Firefly - I couldn't even tell who may have been part of the group once John C and those close to him moved away (or out). I left around 8:15 after I finished eating. After a tiring day at work a figured I'd go home and let the dog out rather than start asking random people if they were with the HL group. I was going to say we need "gang signs" to flash, but that could be an invite to being escorted out:-)
