Halftime Tavern

Okay, first one of the beer-keepers is a friend of mine. Alaura is a rock-climber, a Taurus with some smattering of Aries (cusp) and baby blues!  So Halftime Tavern is "easy on the eyes" and a nice little place to stop off if choosing Bethel to winde my way back to U.A. after work.

Halftime has its own thang going. Mostly it hangs its hat on pub-grub and pool playing. This YELP'r has been in Halftime near midnight and like any local hangout the populars are just coming out for the evening. Most of the time the place is less than 1/4 full.

The pub-grub I mentioned is pretty good; done in-house (nothing brought in). The hot sandiwiches are good (ham & cheese); the apps menu is ilmited and pretty standard.  B'tenders Alaura and Savannah and Katie will pour your boots full if you drinking liquor so Halftime is any "sumpin' on the rocks" drinkers paradise. Great pours.  Beer selections isn't all too dynamic given the CBUS scene and all its craft beers, IPAs and such.

I haven't been to Halftime yet in spring/summer but they do have a covered patio area.  I'm sure it gets lively out there judging from the effervescent staff.  Nice digi-jukebox; good live band area in the back; plenty of seating; two pool tables.  

Halftime Tavern gets my A-OK rating.

Really like the changes made here! Last time we used to "regular" here it was a bit of a mess. Dirty carpet, dirty scrawled-on bathrooms, and bad tiki-themed decor on the outside patio. A dirty bar didn't exactly attract a great crowd.

Now it looks (and smells) great! They've torn out the dirty carpet for a laminate wood, updated the tables & TVs--they've even got a couple 3D TVs for Monday Night Football (they've got glasses for you to borrow)!

Gone is the tiki decor outside. They've kept the corn-hole boards, though!

Now this is a place I could see myself enjoying again. Well done!

i went to this place and was really impressed, Beer was cold and price just right.   I soon learn this place is under new management, so the updated interior and friendly staff was definitely noticed.  I really see this place taking off, and will be back soon!

One funny characteristic in the place was a pay phone?!?? Who has those anymore, too bad i didn't have a quarter to call someone!
