BarFly's Review of Le Happy
Blending the cutesy chic-shtick of Pearl boutiques (the sweet, if you will) with the boho eccentricities from old northwest (the savory), Pink Martini owner John Brodie opened the Le Happy creperie in that DMZ zone under the interstate near Slabtown to rave reviews 8 years past.
The blood-red interior hints Gallic, think candle-lit tattered elegance with haughty servers to match, while the menu's defiantly P-Town - the bacon and cheddar Le Trash Blanc entr'e's suggested accompaniment's PBR. West Hills families and the less irritating yuppie couples pack the smallish tables until ten when the hipsters appear 'round the (full) bar and linger 'til last call.

In addition to the yummy food, kick-ass staff and cute, cozy atmosphere, Le Happy has been serving hard liquor for almost a year now and has a really great and creative cocktail menu. It's a tiny space so it's best to go in small groups (less than 5) and early in the evening.
