Saint Paul’s hidden gem: Half Time Rec’s bocce ball basement
Back “in the day” this was called “St. Paul Rec” my Grandfather “relaxed” there as a young man. (Circa 1920 or ’30, I think.)

The Paddy Shack Burger was delicious. You have to come in try it, words cannot describe how good it tasted. The Bacon cheeseburger had thick cut bacon, and was unbelievable. Cheeseburger curds was also delicious.
Very good selection of beers.
Janae was very friendly, and very prompt.

Really great neighborhood dive. Tall pours, low prices, good bar food, great staff. Plenty of TVs to catch a game. I love the smoked chicken wings with the “get rec’d” rub. Spicy!

It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it’s really fun inside. It’s a great neighborhood dive bar, friendly people.
There’s bocci ball downstairs.
The night I was there they had a great DJ, playing good dancing songs. I would recommend this place.

I used to love this place so much. They had these delicious wings. You’d get two lbs for $18 dollars. It was one of the best deals in town and I told so many people to check it out. I went today, and not only did they change the type of wings, they no longer sold 2 lbs of wings. Now it’s $16 for 1 lb of the most mid-shitty wings I’ve ever had. I will not be coming back. I’m so sad and disappointed. This was one of my go to spots in town. Gonna have to find a new wing spot

Love this bar! Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, this place is really a gem! Can’t say enough nice things about the staff who welcomed me and my husband right away. Food is delicious! They have one of the best Buffalo chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had, have good burgers and wings and I also love the chicken fingers. Great ambiance and something for everyone here.

This is the spot! Excellent burgers, great size and flavor at fair prices. Kind, attentive servers & bartenders. Pull tabs, TVs with the game, good tunes on the jukebox, chill vibes and bocce ball in the basement. What more could you ask for?! Belly up to the bar like a man for the best experience. Order the Paddy Shack burger with an extra patty for the win!

What you expect from a neighborhood hole in the wall. Great bar food and fun atmosphere. Often understaffed but the staff works hard. And I get to melt some ice…if you know, you know.

Best wing prices I’ve found in the Twin Cities — $11 for a pound of wings, which is $2-4 cheaper than other places. Nightly food specials Mon-Thurs also offer good value (Mon $10 burger & fries, Tues $8 for three tacos, Wed $9 for six wings + fries, Thurs $13 bacon cheeseburger). Burgers seem overpriced however.
Food is good. Fries are pretty standard.
Ordered a brandy old fashioned which was made wrong (guessing the bartender thought it was made the same way as a whiskey old fashioned) and cost $9, far above dive bar prices. Beer was cheap however ($4 for a blue moon).
Service was friendly, warm & attentive. I was there on a slow evening though so not sure what it’s like when it’s busy.
There is an upcharge for using a credit card.
Vibe, decor and cleanliness were standard dive bar.

Food was ehh service even less so. Steak and cheese was just that steak and cheese nothing else. Menu stated it was the special for the day but was charged full price. Bartenders were not that friendly and they were very slow so didnt even bother to mention it. They have bocce ball downstairs in the basement. Was fun but its very cold dirty and not level at all. But is a plus to have something to do
