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
Changed the menu out of no where. Get half the wings for basically the same price.
Best kept secret on Front Street. The food is great! Service is great! Atmosphere--it's a neighborhood bar! So what! Enjoy!🙂

I went here for their 10 dollar burger deal and it was super solid. The fries were great, and the burger itself was tasty. For anybody thinking about coming here, keep in mind that it is certainly a dive bar (for better or worse). Friend had a dead spider in his drink and it’s pretty grimy, but if that isn’t a concern for you, then I would highly recommend visiting. The bocce in the basement is fun but worn out for sure.

Primo neighborhood dive-ish bar with good food and frequent live music. They have a great breakfast too if you're looking for that.

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.

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!

Love the Friday evening music at Halftime Rec. Chili was perfect for a chilly night. Just the right amount of kick. Service could have been a bit more attentive.

I've seen multiple kitchen employees relieve themselves by the dumpster out back behind the building. This is ridiculously unsanitary for the staff to be doing. You think if they are using the bathroom in the street they are washing their hands before handling your food? I don't.

Kid-friendliness: It's a bar so wouldn't say kid friendly.
