I love Jimmy's because the people are great. It's so easy to make friends here, even if you are the…read moreshyest person. The bartenders and karaoke djs are great. Oh, and it has karaoke FOUR nights a week! It also has darts, pool, and an old style arcade game. Jimmy's looks a little rough on the outside because of poor lighting, but looks can be deceiving. It is members only but it's easy to become a member. Peak hours are a bit unpredictable. Even on a Friday night, sometimes it's really busy and sometimes it is slow. Sometimes it's busy on a Tuesday. You just never know so if it's too slow or too crowded the first time you show up, try again.

Jimmy's is a great local bar with friendly staff and patrons. The service is quick and the bar is…read moreusually decently clean. They often have home cooked food out and welcome anyone to eat what they would like. Patrons also bring snacks to give to the bar which are given to guest free of charge when available at request. Karaoke with Ernie is absolutely the best. Other KDJs do karaoke on some nights and also do a good job, but nothing beats Ernie. Jimmy's is a melting pot of people and everyone is welcomed equally. You will find a wide range of ages of all types of beliefs and backgrounds having a great time together. Whether it is throwing darts, shooting pool, singing karaoke, or drinking cold beer at the bar. The only cons would be the lighting is poor at night and it does get very smokey. It is easy to overlook that, but it is something to consider if you have poor eyesight or breathing difficulties.

At the end, there wasn't even a crumb left. The onion rings were also a hit. We sat at the bar, and our bartender was incredibly friendly, and kept us good company. The food was ready quick.

Absolutely phenomenal experience, and we will be coming back.

It's getting late at night. I have a goal. Options are getting slim as I look around. Well let…read moreme try this and see what happens. Hard no. Well maybe I will have better luck with this option. Oh, sorry not tonight. Well let me try over here. Not my first, second, or even third choice but it will do and looks like a solid yes. Excuse me but I am curious are you about to get out of here? No, we are open. The answer given begrudgingly was like we are open but the expression is why are you here we trying to close early. Finally, I found a place that is still open even though it is Applebee's. Hey, the very last option is Waffle House and getting my food through a bullet resistant window. I mean come on you get desperate but not that desperate. So I have not been to an Applebee's in a very long time. I was thinking on a Friday night restaurants should be open until 11/12 PM. Oh I was proven so wrong as my first stop was another casual downing place we will call Silis that rejected me due to it being 1001 so pickings were slim. The last time I did go was because I somehow had a gift card for them. Also it was when they had those $1 drinks. You know it is bad when you sigh as you know what you are about to encounter ranging from customer service, food quality, and cleanliness. Once I was finally noticed at the bar the female came over to ask about a drink. So, I went with a LIT and she handed me a menu that was just wet. I looked over and I still think why did I spend the time on this menu and just went with the riblets to go. The LIT was ok. It was good but did not taste like a LIT. If you want it just for the liquor then you good to go but I do like flavor in my drinks. If someone was to give it to you I am sure you would not guess it was a LIT but it was still pretty ok. Now the secret is to know the bartender. Two of her friends came in and after seeing their drinks made I was like how are they going to drive. Then the drink had a sidecar of tequila to go with the copious amounts of tequila already poured in it. The riblets were ok just like the drink. Good thing is that I was given a good amount and the bbq sauce was a savior. Here is the issue. I get firing up the ribs to get a slight char before serving but the char was very uneven. It was on some of the ribs but not the others. Coleslaw was pretty good and the fries were nothing to write to Yelp about. Still I am here writing about it. What you see and the conversations of the employees here are something to listen to. You have no choice as loud as they are talking. Across from me was a long line of used cocktail glasses that trust me was not just put there. I hear some of the employees talking about how few glasses they have to serve at times and why are there so many cocktail glasses piling up tonight. In my mind the time you spent talking someone could have easily removed them all from the counter. Hey if you got time to lean you got time to clean. Especially behind that bar area. Not a very inviting thing to see especially if it happens to be a customer 's first time in this place. This is one of those situations where I am sure Applebee's knows they are one of the few selections so what's the point of doing better or turning the needle a little bit up on the give a damn meter.

First time in my 37 years of life I have ever heard of this!! Membership for a bar that doesn't have a full variety of drinks, I counted 9 people total in the bar and your gonna charge me to drink there???? I left immediately!!! Even though, I only came to get a few shots, the Bartenders were all drunk and they had people behind the counter that were singing karaoke!! Afterwards I just left and got a couple of Bottles from the Affes/ shoppette on base! They are open 24hours serving liquor!! While this establishment takes advantage of the state policy and makes u pay for a membership to have a drink after a long day

I have been to this bar a few times…read more My first experience was horrible. We were told we could not stay as we were not members even if we did not drink. Asked about membership and were told it would 48 hours to be reviewed. We applied anyway and left. Second time, owner was there and apologized for what happened, said that was incorrect. Gave us free memberships with cards right on the spot. Third time, a bartender kept overcharging us for cans of soda. Went up on price twice during the night. Fouth time, I saw they were having karaoke and wanted to take a friend who was in from out of town. Staff that night was extremely rude. Said we could not stay because my friend was not a member, even if we did not drink alcohol. I asked if he could fill out an application and she said no. Fifth time, we went because a friend was running the karaoke for another friend's birthday and he told us we would have no problems. Owner was there and apologized again after I talked to him about experiences. Got a membership for my fiance same night no issue, stayed, and ordered beer for him. The inconsistency is a problem for me because it makes it come off as shady. Overall, it is usually dead with only a couple of regulars. There are a couple of pool tables with no wait because it is usually empty. That is a nice bonus if you just want to go play pool.
