The Ramble Inn Bar and Lounge host an annual Halfway Vintage Rally, which is an annual meeting of vintage car owners and enthusiasts. The club meets for this annual event every September, and is based over a weekend. A parade of vintage vehicles is usually conducted through the village, and on the Sunday, a drive is completed, where members drive to a pre-designated location, have lunch and return to the Ramble Inn.
Halfway formerly had two pubs; however, there is now only the Ramble Inn pub. The Ballinhassig Garda station is also located in the village. There is also a fishing shop.
Road bowling is sometimes played on the national road between the villages of Halfway and Ballinhassig.[2]
There are several Ringforts in the general area.
