Best Dive Bar to cool out

by Bluzman221

You wll not find another place like this in midtown with these prices (maybe Rudy's 45 & 9th) thus it can get crowded very quickly. Unfortunately, lately the young crowd found out about this place and they crowd out the regular drinkers and tourists spending money while nursing their one beer for 2 -3 hours. Jimmy, the owner, manages a tight ship as in " no politics or religion discussions aka arguments" are allowed. He keeps watch over who is getting too drunk and asks them very politely to leave. Jimmy has a good sense of humor believe me. As far as the person below who said the owner was drunk and threw her out , I say B.S. Jimmy's Corner just wants respectable people to have a good relaxing time and he appreciates your business.

• Pros: diverse crowd, Jimmy & Swanee, cheap good drinks, jukebox
• Cons: Small, eurotrash female bartenders with attitude

The best bar in NYC!!!

by sextonandlisacurry

On our recent trip to NYC, we dropped into Jimmy's Corner not having a clue what we had stumbled into. Being huge sports fans, my Father, brother and I were very familiar with who Jimmy Glenn was and was pleasantly surprised to find out that we had landed in his bar. The drinks were great and cheap compared to the ridiculous prices we had been paying at the other bars we dropped into. The service was the best and friendliest that we experienced on our entire trip to NYC. Mr. Glenn and his wife (whom we were told afterwards, nevers has her picture taken with anyone) Both took the time out of there day to snap a picture with us and just make a little small talk. Mrs. Glenn served up our drinks and Mr. Glenn sat and visited with us like we were long time friends. If you are in NYC you have to make it by this bar and have a drink or two and just check out the warm atmosphere and some of the coolest people in New York. The BEST bar by far!!!

• Pros: Good atmosphere, great drinks and cheap prices, best Jukebox around, A+ customer service
• Cons: not enough room to hold as many people that would like to be there, he needs even more space

Interesting feel, interesting crowd

by jbooms8

It definitely wasn't what we were expecting when we read the reviews, but it is as stated a small little local bar, a definite break from the Times Square feel that Midtown usually offers. A very friendlys staff, very reasonable drink prices but a very unusual crowd. It could have just been the night we were in there, but the atmosphere was almost a little bit scary.
