In Short
This St. Paul institution is split into two rooms with decidedly different personalities. One is a working-class pub with pool tables and dartboards, the perfect spot to unwind after the daily grind. The other room is an Irish nightclub, featuring dimly lit tables and a red velvet-curtained stage for karaoke and live Irish music. For a twist, Texas Hold' Em tournaments go on Monday nights. Then there are the games: Who says bocce ball is played outdoors?

I used to love this place, but it has changed. It's not even an irish bar anymore. I'm not sure if the ownership has changed, but the workers and the atmosphere has degraded. They have stopped booking as many irish bands, and the service is really rude. I went in with a group of people for a drink on a weekday night and was yelled at by the bartender because someone wanted to buy a shirt. I have been also been threatened by a bouncer for pointing out that people were sneaking in. It's really too bad because it was one of my favorite bars.

I don't know what that guy is talking about! The Half Ti me Rec is THE place to be on St. Pat's Day! I think a $5 cover to see the Brigade and become a part of history by being there is WELL woth the money! I always have a blast there! I like that they have repainted and I like the new non irish music they are stating to bring in! I love the rec! It;'s a place to go where everyone knows your name!
