Our HISTORy 

Drawing on the area’s heritage, this is a bar that has been created with loving care and driven with real dedication. Managed with flair this is a pub that has it all – great food, drinks and the friendliest staff for miles around!

The Halfway first opened its doors in 1838

The Hamill family have held the key since 1995

It has stood the test of time to interweave near and far, past and present to create a warm friendly welcome to all who cross their door.

Nestled at the foot of Slemish Mountain, it is a delight for locals and tourists to discover. Sure St. Patrick himself would be proud to see this traditional family run pub and restaurant flourish under his namesake, Pat Hamill.

Passion for excellence

More than a pub

Vertical Divider

Its welcoming atmosphere, plethora of events and safe space means it ticks all the right boxes. Raising thousands for charity each year (£60k over 4 years for MacMillan Cancer), the pub also plays a huge part in local community events.

We are more than a pub, we are;

• A meeting spot for locals, where yarns are spun and friendships are made; 
• The gathering point for social events; birthdays, chastening’s and wakes alike, stories are told and memories are made;
• And we offer home from home, great locally sourced food, offering flavours to make your taste buds sing, a selection of beers and spirits to please all and the warmest of welcomes that would make your granny proud.

​

“We pride ourselves in providing a top quality and professional service, understanding the requirements of each customer to deliver not just a service, but an experience that will exceed all expectations.”
