Win a Free Happy Hour at Chap's Taproom

In honor of winning our Readers' Choice competition for Best Happy Hour, Chap's Taproom is giving away free happy hours to some lucky customers.

No one was too surprised last week when Chap's Taproom won our Reader's Choice vote for Best Happy Hour. To celebrate the big win, the folks at Chap's are giving away a few free happy hours so even more folks can see just how happy their hours are. So what do you get with a free happy hour? How about this a pool table for two hours, a Chap's appetizer sampler tray and chips and salsa for you and your friends. To enter send your name, your company's name, your phone number and your address to info@chapstap.com. And tell them Norristown Patch sent you! (You don't actually have to tell them that to win, we just wanted you to say hi to them for us.) --- Related Stories

Chap's Taproom Has the Happiest Hour!

We asked and you answered – Chap's Taproom is tops for its happy hour.

We resurrected our Readers' Choice contest this week to find our area's best happy hour and though the voting was a bit tepid, Chap's Taproom was the most beloved by far. Norristown Patch reader Jim Petrosky had this to say in his endorsement: "Another vote for Chap's. Anyone voting for another bar/restaurant, needs to visit Chap's once to become a believer. Currently seven days a week with great drink, beer and food specials. As far as beer is concerned, not only do they have the usual domestic and imports, but they have a great selection of craft beers on tap as well. My personal faves! Yup, Chap's is a no brainer." We'll be stopping by Chap's Taproom soon to present them with a certificate for the awesome powers of happy hour-tude. (We …

Readers' Choice: Best Happy Hour

Where do you go when you need to unwind and toss back a few?

After a short vacation and a bit of retooling, our Readers' Choice contest is back with new rules and a new topic. This week we're looking for our area's best Happy Hour and this time, it's personal – we actually need to find a happy hour spot of our own, so we're hoping to get some ideas. We've heard great things about Chap's Taproom, the Beagle Tavern, Steppy's, the Peanut Gallery, the Black Horse Tavern and La Poblanita, but we want to know where you go. Where does everybody know your name? No unreliable poll to deal with this time – just vote for your favorite by giving them a shout out in the comments below. Did we not name check your favorite spot? Just tell us below. You have until 9 a.m. Friday to vote for your favorite. We'll add …

Five Things for Friday, July 8

Here are five things to know about Norristown and life today.

1.It’s another Game Day for the teens at the Montco-Norristown Library. Head over at 4 p.m. for some relief from the summer heat and fun times with your peers! 2. Remember General Douglas MacArthur?

The Jeffersonville Golf Club is hosting “Laugh Zone” tonight at 8 p.m, but you should head over at 6 p.m. for happy hour and grill specials at the bar.
