If you're looking for cheap drinks in the city, this is the place. Around Times Square it seems like this is an impossible feat but Jimmy has you covered. Waiting for a show? Meeting up with friends later? Need a drink? Just pop on in. My group did just that, grabbed a table and the waitress was immediately at our service. While it was a bit annoying she made us pay by the round ($3 dollars after $3 after $3...) she was really quick to clear the bottles and replace the empty ones with new icy full ones. You couldn't spend all night here but it's definitely a great place to go before maybe getting a little bit classier later on. read more

I've been to Jimmy's corner on two occasions. Don't know why I ended up here so often. Probably because when you yelp cheap bars from Time Square you just stumble into this spot. It's super tiny and tight. If you are claustrophobic don't bother. The bar seating is super tight against this wall and you literally have to ask people to stand so you can slide to the back. I believe I met Jimmy the first time I came here. I could be wrong or mislead due to the strong drinks but either way I met some old guy and he was pleasant and friendly and made you feel like you wouldn't mind coming back. As I mentioned before the drinks are strong. They have enough t.v.s that you don't need to break your neck to look at one and overall its a decent place to go. The waitress I encountered was friendly enough and was accessible. We didn't have to go hunting for her to order more. If this a spot I'm running to the city to go to? Absolutely not. But if in the area and trying to get my drank on I wouldn't hesitate to stop in. read more

Perfect dive bar to have a beer just off Time Square. Had a draft beer and the joint was packed. But it is merely a hallway so it doesn't really take too many people to fill it up. read more

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

4.5 stars.. A cheap bar in Times Square with very few tourists? How is any of that possible? Well it is, at Jimmy's Corner. It's a small bar without food or any extra stuff to do but that's part of it's charm. I love being served a beer that's under $5 by a sweet old lady who could probably kick my ass if it came down to it. FYI: Jimmy's corner refers to the owner, James Lee Glenn, a legendary boxing coach. (I'm not into boxing but after seeing so many pictures of him in the bar with Muhammad Ali I felt inclined to look the man up) read more

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

This is a weird quaint bar. It's located off Times Square and is nothing like what you would expect. The bar itself is pretty narrow, and so if there aren't enough seats for you in there, they will have to ask you to leave. There are some tables in the back and a bar in the front. That's it. Things are pretty cheap in there. The bartender wouldn't really elaborate on prices, but I can tell that some beers (bud light and rolling rock) are $3 and some are $4 (I think Sam Adams). I'm pretty sure well drinks are $4 as well. Also they do not have happy hour, these are the regular prices! WHAT THE WHAT! crazy! The bartender is an old lady. She's like the sweetest old lady ever. I loved her. Definitely do not come here with more than four people. You won't fit. read more

On a recent trip to NYC, we stumbled upon Jimmy's Corner after drinking at a fancy schmancy cocktail bar. Talk about opposite sides of the spectrum. Jimmy's beers were super affordable and the crowd was 3 sheets in. The bartender had a lil edge on her, which I don't blame her for dealing with all of the rowdy guys passing the night away. Overall it was a good time. read more

I love this bar. I've visited here for many years and the staff is always friendly and drinks are reasonably priced. Right next to Virgil's BBQ restaurant. It's a great place to hide out in plain site or wait to meet someone when visiting Times Square. GREAT Jukebox too!! read more

My goodness- this place is a ton of fun. It's a little hole in the wall bar - met here with a group of 11 friends and took over the front section. The drinks are cheap and the owner and bartenders were super nice and friendly. We had a great time here and will be returning! read more

Has all the quintessential dive bar offerings: character, inexpensive drinks, locals, great music and no frills. This place was a giant contrast to the surrounding Times Square atmosphere and I loved it! We were here late afternoon/ early evening which seemed to be a great time to go. The place is tiny so our group of 4 barely managed to get a table that seated us all. To me, that's part of the charm but if you're with a group, this might not be a great place if you're looking to sit down. Highly recommend giving Jimmy's Corner Bar a try! read more

Great dive bar just off Times Square. Cheapest drinks you will find in the city. Everyone is welcome and the jute box is usually planning a good variety. 4-stars only because the restrooms are in pretty rare form. read more

A real hidden gem with a whoooole lot of history. Cant say much that hasnt already been said but I will say this, you gotta check it out at least once. Makes for a helluvah snap story! Lol read more

Well, we were staying in Manhattan and did a Yelp app search for the nearest "dive bar" at midnight on a Friday and Jimmy's did not disappoint. When you first walk in, you are reminded of that old Yogi Berra axiom, "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded," because the place was packed. We soon found out why: $4 pints on tap, and that's the brand names (not Busch Light). Didn't find beer that cheap the rest of the weekend in NYC. The walls are decorated with old boxing posters, hence the name ("go to a neutral corner") and photos of famous fighters, including Ali, and Boom Boom Mancini. Noisy, crowded and fun. You can get your buzz on here cheap, plus it FEELS like a dive bar, not an Applebee's. When I get to New York again, I'm coming here. IMPORTANT: Do NOT take a photo of the bartender. She will get pissed. read more

It's back open and it's still the same old Jimmy's. Welcome back, you've been missed.

Just steps away from the center of the universe is a small divey bar with cheap drinks and friendly bartenders. Nothing sexy about the place, just a quiet spot in the middle of all the craziness. read more

Cheap drinks, good music and wonderful bartenders! Near Times Square, but don't hold it against Jimmy's.

Jimmy's Corner is quite awesome. Can't wait to try everything off the menu here. Every thing that we ordered was super fresh and flavorful. Amazing. Great service and staff. Anyway, they have a good thing going here and I'm glad I stopped in. read more

One of the best bars I've ever been to in NY. As soon as you walk in you'll notice that the space is narrow, limited seating, a awesome retro juke box, really fascinating pictures of the owner with celebrities and visitors. This place has great drinks for a CHEAP price. Not to mention the jukebox has great old school tunes. I'm definitely going to make my way back when I visit NY again. read more

Jimmy's Corner - The owner of the bar. - Sports Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Awful staff. Stopped here on a random night to meet up with a group of friends who had already been there for a while with a tab. The bartender (overweight female In short shorts...wait that actually describes all of them) asks me what I wanted to drink. I wasn't drinking as I was literally stopping by for min so I said I'm good. She tells me they have a one drink minimum and I couldn't stay if I didn't order something. So I got a f*cking beer and didn't drink it. I'm a NYC bartender as well so I get it. I would never walk into a bar, sit down and not order anything or just ask for water. But this was an entirely different situation as I was with a group of people who have already ordered multiple rounds of drinks. Give me a break. read more

A great dive bar in Times Square! The bar is covered with vintage pictures. This place is tiny but the drinks are good and the service is quick. After standing for about 10 minutes we were able to find a seat. They do have some tables in the back as well. read more

I already miss Jimmy. RIP. Long live Jimmy's Corner, one of the best cozy bar, boxing, and cocktail joints in NYC. So magical and forever that place. read more

NYC is a city that latches onto your bank account and sucks the life out of it. Jimmy's corner is a place that stands alone defying the laws of capitalism and somehow supplies its libations for mind-blowingly low prices. This boxing themed establishment is a unique and fantastic dive. It's not glamorous, but by golly, it's charming! read more

Small bar a bit of a dive but it's easily the cheapest beer in midtown! It's also a lot of fun always busy although at times can be a bit cramped. Great atmosphere and some cool pictures on the walls. read more

It's a dive bar. Comin' straight at ya with no pretense. Got there before Noon and it was standing room only. There are some tables in the back .drinks are cheap. Don't ask for anything fancy or you might get the side-eye. Just sayin'. I asked for a Gin Rickey and I had to tell him what the ingredients were: gin, lime juice , club soda. That's ok. It set me back a couple bucks and it was refreshing for a hot summer day in Midtown. If and when I return, I'll ask for the same again. read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! So much amazing history and stories on the wall. If you can't tell i'm a huge fan of boxing so I'm in love with this place. This is a dive bar DIVEEEEEE bar make sure you know this when you go in there don't expect super classy drink and glasses and what not. I just had to make that clear since I've read some of the reviews make me chuckle .... The bartenders are all AMAZING and happy hour is even better! This is a great place to go for not expensive drinks in the Times Square area. read more

This is the best, cheapest drinks in all of New York! It's a tight squeeze, but worth the visit. Fun late night spot.

Atmospheric bar very close to Times Square, drinks are very reasonably priced Shame about the rude barmaid in shorts with her boobies hanging . read more

So this is my first yelp review...only because I really like this place. The best place if you want to drink cheap and just have a good time! The theme of the bar is BOXING and it's very Old School and rustic.. just so you know, if you're here You Must order a drink (anything!) - that's the policy. They live by their rules and you have a good natural experience ..but hey..it's manhattan...if you want a place to just let loose and enjoy with friends ..this is it! FYI- This place is open till 1 or 2 AM everyday (I think). I don't know why yelp shows it as closed. read more

A gem. A dive. The bar is where it's at, but in a pinch--the tables in the back will do. Bartenders are attentive and nice--for how inexpensive this place is, they don't need to be! Good A/C, cheap drinks (we're talking $3.50 for single beers & well shots) bring cash. Cash is king. You'll need 3 drinks to get to their $10 minimum, so don't complain. You've been warned. You'll get quarters back for change, great for laundry. Or use them in the jukebox. DO NOT PRESS the random popular play button. It will play purple rain and everyone will groan at you. Or do it. It's hilarious either way. Lots of boxing photos on the wall, so if you're into that - there's stuff to look at. Enjoy the grunge, the fun, the cheap. It's a gem. read more

Don't waste your time. I don't care that this is a landmark place. It doesn't give the bartenders the right to treat customers like they don't matter. There are lots of other bars in New York that would appreciate our business. read more

I've been coming here for a few years on and off whenever I'm in the area. I used to work nearby and wad my local work 'go to' bar. With all the changes ocurring in NYC - especially midtown, I am glad Jimmy's is still here. A NYC institution. Best bar in the area. Hands down! read more

Nice place out of the way from Time Square. The waitress we had was super friendly and a genuinely nice person. She was very responsive, quick to bring back more drinks and knew all the drinks on the menu. The beer selection was great with a mix from around the world. Well worth a stop. read more

Atmosphere, cheap beer, and non-touristy. If you need a pretty place, move along! fun Jimmy's story. In the early 80's I was a sailor over in the shipyard in Brooklyn. I came to Jimmy's maybe 4 times total (quiet weekday nights, nothing of note) with shipmates who were there more often, I think one of them was dating a bartender. These guys weren't close friends of mine, and I lost touch with them after our ship left NY. 7 years later, I'm back in NYC, beautiful sunny summer Tuesday, walk in maybe 1pm. I'm the only customer, the female bartender serves me a beer, maybe 10 minutes in, she says "so how is your buddy doing"? I'm like "excuse me"? But after some back & forth it's clear she recognizes me. It's 7 years just off Times Square, crossroads of the world, she saw me maybe twice, I don't even remember the guy's name and she picks out my average mug from memory. I told her she missed her calling as a detective. I grab a beer every time I'm in town. read more

After moving to NYC from Ohio, the most demoralizing part of going out in NY was the price of drinks even at small dive bars. Jimmy's Corner not only offers the cheapest prices ($10 for 3 Stellas and $4 for mixed well drinks), a cozy atmosphere with a lot of regulars, but they are also located in the prime location of Times Square. While it can get pretty cramped fast, I would highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area looking for a quick cheap drink read more

Best dive bar in the city. Always interesting people and cold beer at great prices.

Chill vibe after work or anytime. Jimmy is cool and will sit and chat with you. Good time always.

Was here on my first night in NYC. Compared to the other bars in the area it's cheap as chips. The bar itself is long and thin with tables at far end. Boxing memorabilia is all over the walls. It's definitely dated and in need of a little TLC but don't let that put you off. The bar staff were friendly and quick to take the order given how busy they were. Being a little cramped where we were we headed towards the back of the premises and met I believe jimmy himself. He has his own unique style, but we just went with it. Despite the bar being busy we then got table service. That would not happen in Scotland. Go enjoy the experience soak it in. read more

We had a full afternoon of noshing on a food tour and decided to find a bar to have a few drinks. We both enjoyed the vibes at this bar!

This place is awesome! A true hidden gem in the time square area. We came all the way from Pittsburgh and Jimmy's son and Anna truly made us feel at home. We thank you for that read more

Best dive bar in the city, hopefully will reopen soon. Don't expect sports on TV or great service, or fancy bathroom. But cheapest beer in the city for sure. read more

While my wife was at a training in NYC, I took some time on my own to wander around. I found this bar and was pleasantly surprised. It was a great place for an afternoon drink and conversation with others in there. The bartender guy was very nice and welcoming. I actually went back and second time the next and took my wife. The bartender remembered me and shared more stores about the history of this bar. read more
