    Decedent little bar on Independence Ave serving up American type eats. The bartender was our server and was friendly and on point. We had two burgers which were pretty damn good and reasonably priced. The hand cut fries were delicious also. TVs littered the walls with different sporting events. A couple pool tables and other games were available for use as well as a sand volleyball court. With not much commercial life on this end of Waterloo the Half Pint is the heartbeat of the area. Enjoy!

    Nice small bar. I have came here since I've been 19 and today I'm 55, so almost 40 years. I have never had a bad experience at this bar, but I have had a lot of good and fun times. They have some of the best bar food around. I love this place for I can always count on having a decent bite to eat with a drink or 2 and know the service and atmosphere will be awesome. Thanks half pint for the years of good memories.

    Don't judge the book by its cover here. The food is excellent. The people watching is above average!

    I had the chicken bacon ranch with beer batter fries. The sandwich was excellent. The mushroom and Swiss looks fantastic so I’ll be getting that next time!

    Really cool hole in the wall bar with a golf simulator and dart boards. Had the wings and they were great!

    A small bar with good food. Does it get any better?

    The food was delicious. The order wasn't perfect, but it was not anything to cause concern. They were more than willing to remake, but it was perfectly fine as it was. The salad was large and very fresh & the ranch was great! The wings looked amazing. Sadly, I couldn't try one, but I know they would be delicious as I watched my granddaughter devour them! She is a 1st grader and nearly ate the 12 piece. She is a small girl so I have no idea where she put them!
