The Happiest Hour

Description: A bar and restaurant with an understated Old West theme occupying an antiquated building in Georgetown.

Bonus: The lovely back patio, adorned with tall trees and wagon wheels.

About Calamity Jane, the person, not the place: She was a celebrity cowgirl and trick shooter who wore men's clothing, associated with Wild Bill Hickok, and smoked cigars while chewing tobacco.

Further proof of Calamity Jane's badassery: She slept peacefully in clouds of flies. In James D. McLaird's biography, a bewildered onlooker described "flies by the hundreds [which swarmed] about and into her mouth and nose, yet... she slumbered on and on."

Happy hours: Mon–Sat 3–6 pm.

Happy-hour drink specials: $1 cans of Hamm's, $1 off draft beer (Manny's, Moose Drool), $3.50 well drinks, $1 off simple cocktails.

Happy-hour food specials: A menu of $4.75 delights—including pulled-pork sliders and mighty hot chicken wings. recommended

Not only that, she had a beautiful voice and a lovely blonde hair-do. And she loved Howard Keel.
