''Happy Hour'' is a studio album by the Los Angeles–based hardcore punk band Youth Brigade, released in 1994. It was the band's first full-length studio album since their second album '' Sound & Fury'', released 11 years earlier. However, in the 11 years they had released two EPs, as well as one album under the name The Brigade, when bassist/vocalist Adam Stern was on hiatus from the band for six years, from 1985 to 1991. The band supported the album with the "10 Years of BYO in Yer Face" tour.

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "the songs are speedy and socially conscious as usual, with that Southern California hardcore feel."
