Just beyond the shadow of the Sunsphere, north of downtown, lies a stretch of fun and entertainment guaranteed to bring joy. It’s a little pocket of Central Avenue that roughly parallels Broadway known lovingly as “Happy Holler”.

Historically a spot for beer joints and saloons, Happy Holler has maintained that gritty vibe with local breweries surrounded by incredible food and vintage delights.
