Another day, another spacious East Side sports bar: Say hello to the Stumble Inn, where Danny Thomas (Down the Hatch, Off the Wagon, Jake’s Dilemma) has scored another sloshy hit. Beyond serving a decent selection of starchy food (including a bacon-stuffed burger), Stumble Inn’s prime selling point is what could be the most generous six-day-a-week happy hour on the island: The whole bar is half price until seven. The after-work crowd abides, packing the Inn’s generous space with whooping suits, popped-collar flip-floppers, and old-school white hairs; stray near-hipsters may even slither in on occasion to feed their secret sports addictions on Stumble’s many flat-screens. For those looking for a more intimate celebration, the adjoining Havana Room hosts private parties in a space that needs only the requisite cigar smoke to live up to its name. Stumble also offers organized beer pong tourneys complete with sign-up board and a rules-and-regulations placard, for those underdeveloped alcoholics. — Patrick Coffee
