Slippery's Tavern - "Grumpy Old Men" Filming Location - St. Paul, MN

The Half Time Rec (as of 2014) is the location used for the interior of Slippery's Tavern in "Grumpy Old Men." The address is 1013 Front Avenue in St. Paul, Minnesota. The above photo is a still from the film; below is 2014.

 Some of the decor has changed, but not by much. The above image is a still from the film; below in 2014.

You can see a wall behind Jack Lemmon's character as he is sitting at the bar. That was was a fake one put in by the crew from "Grumpy Old Men" to give the bar a much smaller feel. You can see in the image below, the bar goes back pretty far. The wall would've been approximately where that book bag is sitting on the bar top.
