I wanna start off by saying this is the last black owned bar on the block! It's a family owned bar with a old school dive bar feel, with pictures of different boxers on the walls , there's a jukebox, there's bar area and a couple tables in the back. Shots are 5$ ! And that wasn't a special. The staff is friendly, they honestly made my night. Shoutout to Kareem and his uncle! I don't visit the city often but whenever I do in the future a visit here will be a must. read more

Don't expect anything fancy. Just a friendly environment with cheap beer, very close to Times Square.

Love it, love it, love it! I am not alone, because it's always packed! Cold beer, premium liquors, great prices, and friendly people. Isn't this what we all want from a Bar? read more

I love the vibe inside with all the pictures and the bartender kept checking in on us. I didn't order any food, but I did get two long islands which felt weak at first, but then snuck up on me. read more

Went in for ONE happy hour drink...left at 1 am. That should tell you all you need to know. Great conversations with locals. Don't be shy and start conversations with everyone who enters and you'll have a great time. Staff is cool. They will engage with you as much as you want engagement. Down to earth place for down to earth people. Highly recommend. read more

Top notch dive bar. Especially in the location. Great bartender, good drinks and acceptable locals.

We were told by another bartender to come to this place because the locals like to come here. It's a very small joint...an old boxing club we were told. The bartenders were attentive and kept the drinks flowing. SUPER great prices on the drinks considering it's NYC. We were pleasantly surprised and it was nice not having to pay high end prices for the drinks. Play some music on the jukebox...$5 gets you 15 songs!! read more

I love this bar. I used to work in the neighborhood and I decided to come back today to catch up with an old friend . The drinks are cheap and good. My friend and I had four margaritas straight up which were well made. We also purchased two bottles of water . If you are in the times square area and need to get away from tourists and over priced eateries deep into Jimmy's. #noregrets read more

I came here recently for a drink with some friends and I enjoy the atmosphere. I am not a huge boxing fan but, I can enjoy looking at a bunch of handsome legends. The people in the bar are always friendly. The bartenders are great here. I forgot to get the bartender with the dreads name but he was awesome. He makes a delicious drink. Let's not forget about the prices they are great it is happy hour all of the time and I love it here! They even have a music box which is swell because you hardly see those anymore. Beware they do not serve food here so you have to eat before you have a great night at this establishment. I will definitely be back to indulge soon. read more

Easily one of the best dive bars in NYC. And the only bar worth going to anywhere near Times Square. Drinks are cheap and the atmosphere is tight and funky. Don't forget to say hi to Jimmy for me. read more

Great place, great drinks, great prices! If you are nearby and reading this review, stop by! You will not be dissatisfied! The inside truly feels like a NYC GEM!

Super disappointed in this place today (Wednesday around 4:30pm ish). Only 1 bartender, tending to the whole bar. He was very slow. I saw several ppl leave because they waited so long to be served. This place was on my "must see" list on our trip and everyday kept bugging my husband to come here...and finally do and it was sad. Yes, the drinks were cheap ($10 min for credit card)...but certainly not worth the wait. I'm sure it was just a bad day. read more

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

the place thats near us is a bar and grill, and its inside of a really old ass cottage thats sunken into the ground. Like its literally sunk into the ground by a good five or six feet or so, the whole building. So you gotta go into the stairwell they built under the road to get in there. I think it's not actually Jimmy's corner, but people call it Jimmy's corner. Mhmmm, Mhmmm, it's half eaten. read more

If you're looking for a dive bar with character, grit, and an interesting history, look no further then Jimmy's Corner. Situated In Times Square, this bar is definitely situated to become one of my favorites due solely to the lack of tourists that are literally never here! If you're confined to finding a spot in the Theater District, but don't want to be gutted and packed where you end up grabbing a drink, this is the spot for you. Apparently owned by a legendary boxing coach, the venue is adorned with photo's of famous boxers and other notable individuals posing with the owner, appropriate known as "Jimmy". I've only seen him once when visiting this bar, but by the looks of it he's an extremely personable guy who really knows his most loyal patrons. Maybe one day I can hope to be one of them too... Overall great service and accommodating staff. My friend and I were able to find seats in the back of the bar and almost immediately one of the servers came and took our drink orders. Even before we were done with one drink they would be back to ask us if we'd like another. Smart and consistent service like this is something to be coveted in the Times Square area. This just reinforces that fact that Jimmy's Corner is definitely a diamond in the rough. Go here for affordable drinks and good service if you're in Times Square! It's a dive bar FOR SURE. So know that you'll be with like minded people looking to have a great time while basking in the history of this awesome spot. read more

OK $3 beers in Time Square! This is a true dive in the middle of one of the busiest intersections in the world. Surrounded by over priced tourist traps, Jimmy will embrace you in a museum of boxing history and cheap drinks. The place is long and narrow which makes it easy to chat with others who have found this tiny cheap oasis in overpriced NYC. This is a place we will return to. Watered down tequila shots take away a star. read more

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

Love this place! Drink prices are very reasonable. Bartenders are knowledgeable and attentive. Atmosphere is "divey" but comforting. Always meet strangers who become friends for at least a couple of hours. Jimmy's Corner is an anachronism in an area of 20 dollar margaritas and 15 dollar shots (if you can get a shot) that makes you happy you found it. Even happier when you leave; slight buzz, smiling from a conversation with a new "good friend", and trying to remember how to get to the subway using the directions from the bartender you can't really remember. A good night... read more

Best dive bar ever! I've been coming here for more than 10 years. Great pricing, great vibe, great old school music in the juke box, good drinks and you can always have a conversation with anyone there. One block off Times Square and you can get a beer for less than $5 and a drink for $6. The place is kinda small thou. You will not find any or very few locals here, unless then are bringing someone. All tourist... I highly recommend. Must check out and get the story of the bar and Jimmy. And you might just see him in there. read more

Mike at Jimmys Corner is the best. The way he handles the bar is amazing!! Never misses a beat. I will be back tomorrow

This place is exactly as advertised -- total dive bar. Cheap drinks. Very comfortable vibe.

Dive Bar and I loved it! That's what this place is... no more, no less. This place is a hole in the wall amongst all the craziness of Times Square that surrounds it. Small place, no frills, cheap drinks, tons of stuff on the wall to look at (mostly boxing history).. I'd go back for sure. Fun Fact: The end of Raging Bull was filmed here read more

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

Great bar that's literally 3 blocks from Times Square, it's like you walked into 1982.. if you can walk in the door! Inside, it's tiny with a large bar on the east wall and some seating in the back....boxing memorabilia all over the joint! $3 domestics at Happy Hour simply can't be beat and the clientele ranges from regulars to tourists as well as tinder dates gone BAD. Always packed to the rafters but you can usually manage to snag a seat after standing against the wall for a bit. Service is good/ you got one low key bartender and one totally high strung bartender who doesn't really like people; you'll figure it out! Must stop in Times Squirrel area or before a show/ talk later PS- Great Coasters! read more

Great place. We came in with group of 10 and drank for 6 hrs. Spent lots of $$$$ ...owner of bar told us he will not let us charge our cell phones. Stupid bullshit. But it is what it is.. read more

Cozy bar near Times Square with very reasonable prices. It's not the most modern bar, but the 2 Times i went it was super packed. The walls are filled with pictures and memorabilia that reflect Jimmys life. Which from the looks of it was very interesting. The second night there me and my friends had the pleasure to meet him. We really liked this bar a lot and that's why we returned a second time. If i ever go back to NY i will definitely return here loved the prices and loved the ambience. Just keep in mind it's not a very upscale bar it's more of a relaxed local bar. read more

This is "The Find" for 2019 for me. But first a notice to non-New Yorkers & Touristas: Jimmy's Corner is a REAL slice of New York ( The Big Anvil ), so take your white tennis shorts & stay away, no lie. A work buddy told me about Jimmys Corner whilst on a job a couple blocks away. The hype was to much to resist. Crowded, kinda noisy & cheap. In a time when old stalwart delis & restaurants are being driven out of existence by skyrocketing rents... Jimmy's Corner is now one of a kind. The type of bar you stop in after work, rub elbows with the working class and suits all at once. Pictures of boxers are hung everywhere with warnings of No Politics Discussions and duct tape repairs to the bar. It's a tough, beautiful bar with more personality than all the posers, cartoon characters & touristas in Times Square which is one step outside of Jimmy's... it's that close, inside is a New Yorker's Heaven, Outside: commercial Hell. You see, Jimmy's is a haven, a retreat from all those outside that don't know any better. I don't know about anybody else, but this is my kind of place crowded, cool and above all New York friend read more

This is the best kept post-Broadway getaway secret ever. Seriously, after a show just walk to Jimmy's Corner and debrief over the hundreds of photos of Muhammad Ali and conversation with the really great bartender (and owner). read more

My favorite place for drinks in the city. Cheap drinks great place to go shoot the breeze with your friends. The owner Jimmy a former boxing man is the nicest guy you will ever meet. In the past I always enjoyed sitting and talking boxing and other things with him. Today when I was there I didn't see him but the bartender we had was very friendly and a very nice guy. I came up to a a send off drink with a good friend who works in the city. We met here for drinks we had two shots and two beers each. It was the perfect place to go for my send off back home to the mitten. I recommend anyone hanging in Times Square stop in and have one before heading back to your hotel. It's an old piece of the city you may want to see. read more

This bar is honestly the only one I've been to here in New York and I haven't gone to any others. Best feature: price I got a bud light draft and my girlfriend grabbed a tequila sunrise and the total was only $6.50. I don't think you will find that anywhere in the city especially near Times Square Cons: I honestly came in and it was a little too quiet for me. But that's really it. Overall: good bar and would continue to come get my drinks for the low read more

This place is just a couple blocks from the hell of Times Square yet it has managed to retain the 1970's kitsch that is now very rare. Very inexpensive drinks that could compete with small town prices are accompanied with retro framed boxing fan-boy photos. I don't recommend coming to this neighborhood but if you want yourself here and want a cheap drink....get it here. read more

Great dive bar with great prices. Hard to find a spot at the bar during rush hour, but that goes for pretty much anywhere.

When traveling there is nothing more I seek out than a neighborhood dive to get the essence of a city. Low and behold right off of the busy metropolis comes Jimmy's Corner. Jimmy is a retired prize fighter and sparing partner of Muhammad Ali. The little dive is filled with boxing memorabilia and some of the coldest cheapest beer in midtown with uncharacteristically friendly clientele. On my last night in town we stayed here till close at 4am. Great bar a reminder of my beloved New Orleans. read more

Cheap, strong drinks, old school vibe, and great jukebox! What more can you ask for in NYC?

A friend and I happened to find Jimmy's Corner on Yelp...and we were not disappointed. This was the Friday of Memorial Day Weekend (2019), so it was a given that there wasn't a seat at the bar. (Half of the place was occupied by--not kidding--jolly and drinking sailors. I honestly felt like I stepped into a "divey" Jane Austen period piece.) After having our IDs checked by the bartender at the front bar, the bartender told us there were tables in the back if we didn't want to stand. (The space between the bar and the wall is about 4.5 feet max. I'm a big guy, so there were a lot of deep breaths, prayers, and "Excuse me's" to get to our seated destination. If you're a person of heft, speak-up and move with a purpose.) When we got to the back we were greeted with heavenly gusts of A/C that welcomed us like an old friend. We ordered drinks and discovered there wasn't a kitchen or a menu. However, the price of the drinks made up for it entirely. Between my friend and I, we ordered 2 Stella Artois and 2 Maker's Mark on the rocks. The bill came out to be $18; $18?!?! I was expecting to pay that for just 1 Maker's before tax! I wanted to order more drinks just because I was so shocked. (I needed a shot to settle my nerves.) If you're looking for a cozy dive bar in the Theater District that serves strong & cheap drinks, Jimmy's Corner is where you need to be. read more

A true dive bar. If your looking for a place to drink with good prices then you got it. I'm just staying in this area for one week and let me tell you that every night I get a drink in different bars around and none are cheaper than Jimmy's.

Great little "hole in the wall", cheap drinks, gets packed, you'll get served no matter what since it's small. Always a spot I hit when I'm in NY cause you can't beat the prices, and I've come to see it as a comfortable place to go, right in the center of the strip just off the block! read more

Went here as a pit stop during a recent trip, just for a beer. Prices on par for the area. Beer selection was OK. Didn't try the food, so can't review that. Server was quick & friendly. Bathroom was gross, but looked like it was recent filth & not like they just never clean it. Not in this area very often. Might stop back. read more

Jimmy was a professional boxer and then trainer who decided to hang 'em up himself after fighting Floyd Patterson (I believe twice), former heavyweight champion. No shame there. Popping in here at 3 am after other bars have closed is always a solid choice when you are with your buddies and not trying to impress anybody. The memorabilia is cool and the stories legendary, but seriously do not talk smack. The staff here does not like douchebag tourists or douchebag locals for that matter. Get a beer sit down and relax, or leave. Also, there is not much room between the barstools and the wall, so if you are going to be annoyed by someone accidentally bumping you, please do not come here. Another reason not to bring the ladies to this establishment is that the bathroom is pretty nasty, so if you need to drop a deuce or have a pregnant wife, girlfriend, friend, or someone with you who acts pregnant, do not bring he or she to this place. And lastly but perhaps most important, the sign on the wall says "no politics" and trust me, I made that mistake once. Never again ... read more
