How can Kramer’s be on this list. They don’t have happy hour specials ever. In fact, the rarely have any specials at any time.

The best happy hour in Dayton is getting in your car and driving 60 mph for 60 miles in any direction away from the center of town.

VFW Post #2800, the best bar period. $1.50 beers all day everyday, the nicest people you’ll ever meet, always a good time.

Happy hour is more than just cheap beer and food. Doesn’t anyone comment on the crowds and atmosphere any more? If a person wants to sit alone drink cheap beer and eat finger foods in an empty room, why not just do it at home where it is the cheapest?
People and interaction is a part of the equation when choosing a place to be happy.
