Happy Hours

Go here now

Happy Hour's is an adorable, instgramable, and inclusive space! I usually don't like thrift stores, but I saw so many things that could fit me and that interested me!

I love popping into Happy Hours - Ali curates an eclectic mix of clothing, WI focused items (and also things from her travels!), jewelery, home decor, the list doesn't end (quite literally). In addition to running an independent business which in and of itself is a feat Ali regularly organizes events for the community, pulling together people for a fun time and doing good. Be it a garage sale for the National Alliance for Mental Health (NAMI) or a celebration of Redford (beloved pup) where she donates part of her proceeds to an animal rescue. Be sure to follow her IG (happyhoursmadison) to keep up to date on the shop and community events!

Literally OBSESSED with this store but even more obsessed with the show runner, stunner, creative genius who runs the store, Ali. She is a true GIFT for this stuff. Has a heart of gold, is out to spread the joy of thrifting more than she is anything else. Her prices are beyond fair and her pieces are one of a kind. I love following her instagram too. Also she's funny???? The total package. Every time I am in Madison I ALWAYS make a trip to the shop and ALWAYS find a treasure or five. Happy Hours is a must go, must buy, must see, must ooh and ahh. aka the best thrift shop in town.

Happy Hours is an absolute treasure trove of vintage clothing, accessories, and oddities packed into a charmingly crowded space on East Mifflin. I've purchased a variety of goods from Ali (and her handsome canine companion, Redford), including MCM art, vintage Badger gear, holiday sweaters, and fun costume jewelry. The best perk of being a Happy Hours regular is the incredible themed parties and cocktails Ali whips up for her customers! Always worth the price of admission (if there is one), and I generally walk away with more loot than I anticipate. This place is a Madison gem!

100% recommend Happy Hours as a first stop for shopping clothes, jewelry, and select home goods. You’ll be warmly welcomed by Ali and the handsome Redford (Ali’s adorable and very friendly dog), and walk into an abundance of carefully curated, stylish, and at times whimsical items. I’ve found some of my favorites here- a unique black woven leather bolo tie with silver accents and a scorpion positioned in what I learned to be glow in the dark flecked turquoise, the best blazer, a coiled snakes necklace, and countless other items. Ali will happily help you find appropriate sizes and point you in the direction of what you might be looking for. Also don’t sleep on a Happy Hours event- it’s clear how much thought and time is invested into each one, and they are also unique, deliver on the theme, and many offer fundraising opportunities for local non-profits. Come for the goods, stay for the vibes, and follow on social media for some solid entertainment and behind the scenes content. 😍😎 10/10 no notes. Pictured: Aforementioned glow in the dark bolo.

Ali is a well-known figure in Madison’s second-hand scene, celebrated for her exceptional eye for rare and unique finds. Her shop is a carefully curated collection of treasures you won’t discover anywhere else in town. Don’t forget to give Redford (her dog) all the belly rubs he deserves. Happy Hour is hands down one of the top vintage shops in Madison!

Ali, the owner, is very kind and the shop has so much charm. Was a wonderful pick me up just to walk around, and of course bonus points for having a very sweet shop dog too!

Such a gem!! I will never pass up going to a secondhand/vintage store and Happy Hours is one of my favs. Really good selection of clothing, jewelry, housewares, etc. You’re going to leave here with some treasures. Say hi to the best boy, Redford!

Happy Hours is a gem of store! So many cool items, perfectly curated by miss Ali! Love all the creative events Ali puts on and is always giving back and raising awareness! Plus you can usually get some snuggles in with Ali adorable dog, Red. Love, love Happy Hours, Ali and Red! So proud of you Ali and keep up all your hard badass work! ❣️❣️❣️
