Happy Harry's Bar & Grill is a fictional business featured in the Watchmen multimedia franchise. It first appeared in Watchmen #1 in September, 1986.

Description[]

Happy Harry's Bar & Grill was a bar and restaurant located in New York City, New York. It was owned and operated by a man known as "Happy" Harry. Happy Harry's clientele tended towards the seedier side of life, and it was not uncommon to see various criminals, thugs and underworld figures visiting the establishment.

In October, 1985, the vigilante known as Rorschach entered Happy Harry's and began asking Harry questions concerning the recent murder of a former colleague, Edward Blake. Harry began sweating and was suitably nervous to see Rorschach, implying that Rorschach may have visited this establishment in the past. Harry knew nothing about Blake's death.

One of the bar patrons, Steve, made a sideways comment about Rorschach's odor, which caused Rorschach to visit his table. Rorschach broke Steve's pinky finger. He then asked the room if anybody had any information about the Edward Blake's murder. When Steve's pals failed to comply, Rorschach then broke his index finger. He threatened to continue breaking bones unless somebody came forward with some useful information. Unfortunately for both Rorschach and Steve, nobody knew anything. Rorschach left the bar without causing Steve any further injury. [1]

A short while later, Rorschach returned to Happy Harry's along with Dan Dreiberg, the second Nite Owl. They attempted to get more information before leaving for Antarctica to confront their former ally, Adrian Veidt. [2]
