Halftime Tavern

MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLACE TO GO! For everything. For a happy hour drink, weekend night out, OSU games, or to watch the Browns play. It's an official Browns Backers Bar on this side of Columbus, with plenty of TVs to watch them and any other game that's on. The manager, Erica is amazing and goes out of her way to make sure you're never without a drink. The rest of the staff is so much fun and attentive. We have held so many events and celebrations here as well! It's definitely our home away from home! With a pool table, jukebox, fire pit on the roomy patio... gah. It's perfect!

This bar used to be great. When Erica took over it went to hell. I'm not sure how they are still open. She chased away so many regulars. She is a cancer wherever she goes

This is a great neighborhood bar with plenty of tv's for watching the game. Erica and her staff provide friendly, fantastic customer service. Also, the pizza is delicious!

Walked in and it smelled like a restroom BUT they have great drink prices, lots of tvs, free pool, karaoke on Wednesdays and cornhole outside.Atmosphere is nice but a little run down. Casual bar for sure! They serve food but we asked and you can also bring in outside food which is amazing!It's a great location on bethel rd around a lot of things. Easy to get to.Hot bartender though ha! Look at that ass! *wink wink*

The Korean BBQ Pizza they had on special today was fantastic! Gotta try it if it makes it to the main menu! great place to watch March Madness!

Starting coming here about a year ago. It's become my go to bar when I want a chill place with good drinks and good bar food. Erica is an awesome bartender--I always try to make it in when she's working! Prompt, friendly and knows how to mix a drink! If you're looking for a great,chill, hole in the wall place, this is it!

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.

Half Time seems like a campus joint due to its young customer base from the apartments behind. They are rowdy, full of piss and vinegar that I find to be either energy producing or annoying depending on my mood. Usually it is the latter as I have a slight counter-cultural bent and this place is straight Ohioana Homo Habilis. Think Ted McGinley except Half Time hasn't jumped the shark just yet. Spacy, this place is full of bar games. Billiards of course, darts yeah, but also table hockey, cornhole and others. They may have a beer pong setup if it is legal, though I am not sure, I didn't see it my latest visit but think I've seen it before. Standard dive choices, mix drinks are good. This is a bottles and can kind of place for beer, nothing to write home about. Prices are good. The bar is large and the restrooms clean. Probably a decent place for sports if you get a good angle to a TV. Other than being fodder for one-line gawkers, the staff here does an excellent job and works hard. For me it is best during happy hour before the crowds come later, when everything is easy going and smooth. But I rarely visit. With the sport drenched B-Dubs, the classy Coaches, the Smooth Troll nearby Half Time is probably last on my list of Bethel Center watering holes. It's many a place for neighborhood regs.

The bartender Casey is pure eye candy. Great food, Great atmosphere, Great price. Let's just say Jon Taffer won't be rescuing this bar anytime soon.

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!
