Diamond in the rough... you'll miss it if you walk by- just like my home town. It's a small dive with big energy. Sat here and had lovely drinks and convo. It's simple-if you're looking for simple... swing in. Great tunes, amazing service -I couldn't believe a beer and mixed drink in downtown NYC was under $10. read more

Went there on st Patrick's day. Was packed. Guy was playing bag pipes. Didn't stay long. Small bar. Would go again but not when it's packed. read more

Coolest grimey vibe Cheapest drinks Far away enough from Times Square so it's not Times Square read more

Hubs remembered this bar from when we stayed at the Lamb's Club years ago so I had to stop in when we were staying on the next block. They were PACKED on a Saturday night but I was able to squeeze in at the bar. And that bartender was hustling! Note there's minimum for using a credit card (I think it was $10, only because I tipped $3 on my $7 drink & paid cash , and thought I could've charged it after all). My drink was strong & service was incredibly swift. Jimmy's Corner is still a great dive bar in Times Square! [#10 of 2025] read more

I was trying to meet up with a Friend on a busy Friday night and this place really took me back. What an amazing find! Don't get me wrong- Jimmy's Corner is a dive bar- but its one of the rare bars in NYC that is still affordable and with character. There's boxing memorabilia everywhere and sports still on all of the tvs. Visitors were lively and there was plenty of great community at the bar and at the tables. I might have been the only woman in the place but everyone was friendly and having a great time. Service was excellent. It took a moment to get in line at the bar but there was occasional table side service too which is unheard of. It was so refreshing to just have a classic pre pandemic nyc experience. read more

It's a shame to hear that Jimmy's may be closing its doors soon. Definitely gonna be sorry to see it go. Was introduced to Jimmy's over a year ago. A truly dope ass dive bar with an...eclectic array of folks that come here. Love their motto of "Politics will not be talked about here." Allowing everyone who may not agree on things to still get along over a few brews, the way it should be. I hope Jimmy's can be saved and that it lives on for many more decades to come. read more

Wow. This place is a gem. Don't come here if want can't appreciate the classic American dive bar. It is perfect. It's is amazing. I had an emotional moment. There are is nothing particularly noteworthy about this place, and that is why it is amazing. The beer is cold. The food, well, there is not food. The bartender is amazing. Don't come here if you are pretentious. You'll ruin it. So stay away so I'll have a seat. read more

From the outside it seems sketchy and the initial entry way can seem super crowded and not a young vibe at all. However the back room wasn't as crowded and the service was really friendly. Also the drinks were $3.50 which was an incredible deal. Would definitely recommend. read more

We stopped by Jimmy's Corner around 9:30 PM while walking through Midtown Manhattan -- and the place was already buzzing with energy. If you're looking for a classic, no-frills New York bar experience, this is definitely the kind of spot you'll want to check out -- with a few things to keep in mind. When we arrived, the bar was pretty full, but we managed to grab two seats right at the bar, near the bartender. We ordered a round of beers, and service was quick The atmosphere? Loud, lively, and a little chaotic -- in a good way. People were talking, laughing, drinking, and enjoying the vibe. There was even live music, which added a fun touch and made the place feel very alive The interior definitely feels stuck in time -- and that's part of its charm, depending on your taste. The decor is old-school, the lighting is dim, and everything has that been-here-forever feel. If you're into modern, sleek bars, this might not be your scene. But if you're down for a bit of gritty NYC character -- this bar leans into it unapologetically. Small note: There's only one restroom stall for everyone. It's tiny, and for such a packed place, it felt like not nearly enough. But hey -- it's a small, narrow bar, and space is clearly limited. In short: A great place for a quick drink and soaking up some vintage New York bar vibes Don't expect anything fancy -- this place is all about the feel, not the finishes Probably not ideal if you're looking for a quiet conversation -- this one's all about noise, nostalgia, and night-out energy Overall, I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5. It delivers on the atmosphere it promises -- just know what you're walking into. RECOMMEND (Personally mine) read more

This bar is a quintessential old school NYC dive. You get all kinds of characters (old and new) walking in there. The jukebox is outstanding. Love this place! read more

Love dive bars. This is probably the only old school Times Square bar left. Beer and Drinks are cheap. Bartenders are friendly and you can tell it is an original. read more

Jimmy's Corner - At the bar - Sports Bars Near Me - New York, New York

You really have to have the appropriate expectations when you come here. We were looking for cheap drinks before a show and really this is exactly what this place delivered. We ended up getting four drinks that came to a total of $22, which was truly astounding to me when I saw the bill. The drinks are really no frills: well drinks, simple drinks, beers on tap. The bartender is super friendly and you can make the seating what you want. The decor really commits to the theme of boxing with boxing paraphernalia adorning every inch of the place. It's small and super unassuming and I was really surprised to find it in such a high-traffic Broadway area. read more

I've been coming to Jimmy's Corner for years. It's amazing to me that this bar exists in the middle of Times Square. Amongst all of the national chains, with their massive neon lights and signs, this hidden gem is tucked away between 6th & 7th Ave. First, the prices alone are cheaper than what I would expect to pay in some middle of nowhere dive bar. But getting a beer and a shot for $10 in NYC...in Times Square...it's unheard of. You (or maybe it's just me) would expect the staff in a place like this to be surly and dismissive. Cheap drinks in an overpopulated city with nonstop tourist should drive anyone insane. But not here, every one that works in Jimmy's is welcoming and always on their game. I'm glad that after Jimmy's passing they kept it going. The memorabilia on the wall is phenomenal even if you're not a boxing fan. You can feel the history and the love every time you walk in. No matter where I am visiting in NYC, I will, without fail, always stop at Jimmy's Corner. It is my happy place. read more

Jimmy's Corner - The saddest part of coming here is when I look at my last beer and realize I'm leaving. - Sports Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Winny!! This girl is a real one; my card didn't go through because I landed out of state; and she discreetly came up to me and made me feel so comfortable telling me it didn't go through; from the moment I walked in she was smiling welcoming and cheerful. I love this place it's historic and I genuinely have love for this girl! Thank you Winny for not embarrassing me when you asked for another card. I love her character style and eyeshadow!!!! read more

Pretty much, my favorite bar in the country. First time coming here was 2002 during SF giants / Yankees match up. Just visited here Halloween weekend 2025. This place is as authentic as it gets. Great service. Great people. And cheap / strong drinks. Do this place a favor and bring cash. The prices are low enough that they deserve to be paid in cash. God bless Jimmy's! read more

My favorite stop in all of NYC. Not fancy or trendy...thank god. Authentic with a capital A.

my first time i had a great time. i loved that female bartender that was attending the tables. she's straightforward, total respect because i know it isn't easy dealing with drunk people. this bar is great. service is great and MJ vibes. I'll definitely be back. read more

My new favorite place to grab a beer in the theater district. Service was quick and prices were cheap for the location. Very convenient for pre-show drinks if you're on a budget. They have a $10 min for cards so plan to drink at least 2 beers. If you're looking for a fancy bar you're probably better off at a hotel lobby or a theater. They take their dive bar status very seriously; dust is probably their aesthetic. The serving area IS clean and the bartender was wonderful. read more

Great location, great ambiance, great decor. Though the place is narrow and crowded depending on day of the week and time of day, everyone is very chatty and nice so a great place to meet and talk to different people. Drinks are cheap especially considering the location, bartenders are nice. Nothing bad to say, would definitely stop by again. read more

NOT CLOSED - I stopped by to meet a friend, but I couldn't get through the door! I had to push against the people inside just to see what was going on. It felt dangerous and might even violate safety codes. It's 5:00 p.m. on a Wednesday! So, when is the best time or day to visit? Who knows?! It's best to have a backup plan! read more

This is a good bar if you want to have a few drinks before your Radio City concert or Broadway musical. Super cheap beers ($3 domestic drafts/ $4 imported) and the bartender was friendly. Shots were also cheap. But don't expect any comfort and don't plan on going to this bar to spend the evening. The bar area is very narrow and finding a bar stool is nearly impossible. So you can expect the crowded subway feeling but for the prices I definitely recommend this bar. read more

Great prices for being off Times Square. Martina our bartender was terrific. Great customer service. Heavy pores. Drinks tasted great. Was very squishy. The aisle had seats at the bar and space bare manageable for two people to get by. There is sitting in the back but fills up fast. Could have used music. read more

A properly improper watering hole right off Times Square and a stones throw from Bryant Park. If you want to experience the real New Yawk without the superficial sheen of the tourist traps that trigger larceny for a hamburger and revolve to nowhere, Jimmy's has a barstool waiting. Whether you're kicking back with a few co-workers or want to impress the right person with a noir date night, a joint like Jimmy's is the perfect bourbon fueled time machine. Five authentic stars. And please don't order a Cosmo. read more

Back when Jimmy and his wife were both on this Earth, I was told by a neighbor (I live in Atlanta) that the next time I go to NYC I MUST go to Jimmy's Corner. I could describe in detail how awesome it was but it would take forever. Fast forward, to summarize the experience, I was with two friends. Jimmy's wife was bartending and asked what we wanted to drink. My first friend said, Maker's on the rocks, my other friend said, Makers and Coke, and I said Maker's and Diet. She looked at us like she was either going to kick us out or kick our ass. Mrs. Jimmy said "what the f*ck, get your shit together and I'll be back." The next night we wound up at Jimmy's again. Later in the night I stood up and asked Mrs. Jimmy if I could get a picture with her. Her response, classic again, "so you want me to just f*cking stand here so you can take a f*cking picture of me?" Btw, no picture was taken. One of the best weekends of my life. read more

One of the best local bars in NYC. Atmosphere, people, and service. Get in there and meet a local for drink.

I recommend this bar cause the drinks are cheap and we saw so much drama pop off within 3 hours it could have been a tv show. Literally comical and best value for booze in Times Square area 100% read more

We've been here before. Had a great time. This time were walked in with friends. Bartender was an absolute LOSER who didn't even try to serve us. We were then told we had too many? Seems Like she doesn't like paying rent, but thats just me. I was forced to give a star but if I could I would give negative. Guess nobody cares for a native New Yorker anymore. read more

Wasnt expecting bells and whistles but was not anticipating ust how rude and nasty they are! The most unwelcoming experience ever. They seemingly hate everyone who isn't a local. Avoid. read more

To anyone visiting this place, please let the owner know that the phone number listed on their Facebook page, Yelp, and Apple Maps (212-221-9510) is wrong. We have no idea why but the calls are getting redirected to my family member, and we've been flooded with calls meant for Jimmy's Corner. It's frustrating for us and bad for the business since they're likely missing important calls. We really hope this can be fixed as soon as possible! read more

Love it here. Beer and foods is soo good. Great place to hang out, chill and the service is awesome.

It is surprising to see such a place still open in the glitter of Times Square. Just a good old bar. It is a long narrow place. Come for cheap drinks and conversations. read more

This is my favorite bar in the Times Square area. It doesn't have the over polish of every other place in that area designed to fleece all who drift through. I had a 2 year gap and the first time there was in August of Sadly Jimmy didn't make it through the pandemic but there is a nice little memorial to him. I met him a bunch of times as I squeezed through the crowded narrow bar. He had been a fixture there and by all the pictures of his boxing career and experiences he seems to have had a fulfilling life. read more

Whitney was amazing and provided exceptional service. Coming from California and just wanting a drink for a night cap was perfect and very inexpensive. This bar definitely fits into a "dive bar" category so don't go there if you want a craft cocktail. I personally love dive bars so the ambiance made me feel like I was at home. read more

The Asian girl that works there was the worst person we interacted with in New York and we had tons of interactions with drunk homeless people. We (2)went to sit at the only free table. Then we were idiots because a table finally left and another group went and sat at the smaller table right away. We offered to switch but they said no. Well Ms Rude came over for a 3rd time (no hi, drinks order taken, just moved 1 chair) and ordered us to all move. Then proceeded to go the bar and say we were dumb and slow for not sitting at the smaller table. Place is small, so not many seating options. She clearly hates her job and needs to find a new one because serving isn't for her! read more
