What Hyde Parker doesn't like Jimmy's? Any day of the week that you feel like having a drink and hanging out with your friends, this is the place. I can walk home and I always run into people I…

Searching for a bar in Hyde Park is rough. There's the Cove Lounge and there's the Woodlawn Tap. I stopped in here a few weeks ago and had a pleasant experience. It's always busy, no matter what day…

Heavy wood paneling and Hyde Park crazies sitting at the bar...ah, what isn't there to love about Jimmy's (I mean, really, who actually calls it 'The Woodlawn Tap')? As a member of the Chicago…

The Woodlawn is a slightly above average bar made more attractive by the fact that there really isn't an epic destination for boozing in Hyde Park. Sometimes I like that fact, sometimes I don't. As…

Jimmy's really needs no review. If you live in Hyde Park, you know it's the only good bar in the neighborhood. If you don't live in Hyde Park, it's a trek (Red or Green line to the 55 bus.) Really the place to...

I grew up in Hyde Park so I have a soft spot in my heart for Jimmy's. As most native Hyde Parkers, I don't even really like UofC-ers, who heavily populate this place, so maybe I should be giving…

Dear M.A., The funny thing about nostalgia is that usually it's illusory. It seems you see Jimmy's as a symbol of the University of Chicago's fall from grace (and, apparently, all of the unrelated…
