"Half Time Rec, perhaps St. Paul’s most iconic dive, serves hearty Irish burgers topped with corned beef and sauerkraut; Irish “nachos” (steak fries with Irish cheddar whiskey cheese sauce); and, of course, Guinness on tap, meshing the bar’s long-held history as an Irish staple with its updated country theme. There’s bocce ball in the basement, a reliable crowd of Vikings and Twins fans upstairs, and patty melts hot off the flat top. St. Patrick’s day is a scene here. Come for happy hour and pull tabs." - Eater Staff
