Jimmy’s Corner

This is my pregame spot! Basically in TS, no tourists at all. It’s a little, cozy hole in the wall with awesome cheap drinks. $ 3 beers yessssss pleaaaase! Bartenders are nice and quick. Not much room in this place but it makes the ambiance fun! The whole place is decorated with $ 1 bills. Super fun!
Always a good go to spot.

For starters, If you love boxing you should be here.
Jimmy’s Corner is a little tucked away from the craziness that is Times Square but it’s a decent spot overall. Came on a friday night, met Jimmy himself, very friendly and loves to chat with patrons.
Drinks were average priced. 2 beers, 2 shots of cuervo was like $ 16, not too bad. Bartenders were friendly enough and attentive. The crowd is mixed but pretty chill as well.
A boxing lover like myself, this is usually the go to spot after fights at MSG for us boxing fans, tons of history on the walls, Jimmy has met them all. Cool guy, cool spot.

If you are in Times Square and you need to get sauced up on the only pint of beer under $ 5 within a 5 mile radius, then you definitely’ve got to go to Jimmy’s Corner. This pub is possessed by a former boxing trainer. It’s lots of packaging memorabilia strewn through the pub. It is rather tiny in size (maximum occupancy is around 60 individuals). Nevertheless, it’s a great welcoming setting.

Definitely my go to bar in the city now. I visited this place two days ago during a trip to the city. Kareem and serene are great bartenders and the place is nice and laid back. Mainly ppl coming in after work to grab a drink and chat. Did I mention the Jameson and ginger for 5 $ can’t beat that!

Fantastic wee find! Small and cosy with real character. The drinks are really cheap, not only for times square but for all of NYC, plus all the boxing memorabilia on the walls is really interesting. Well worth the visit if you’re in the city

I have traveled the world; Africa, the Middle East, central and South America,…I went into this bar and went to the bathroom before getting a beer, and it smelled worse than any shithole I’ve ever been in, including the ones where you crap in a hole.
Congratulations, Jimmy’s, you drove me out of a bar due to the stench for the first time in 35 years of bar hopping.

Awesome dive bar in the heart of Times Square. This place gets packed on weekdays — not much standing space either. However, their drinks are reasonable and trust me: the vodka martinis are on point.

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.

They say New York never fails to impress you and just when you begin to wonder you seen it all BAAM you hit with another, this time with Jimmy’s Corner smack dab in the middle of where the action is, so to say.
Just half a block from the ever famed Times Sq this hole in the wall is packed with boxing memorabilia and signed dollar bills.
But thats not what you are here for, its them cheap drink you after.
Beers @ $ 3-​$ 4-​$ 4.5
Poured Drinks/​Shots @ $ 4.5-$ 5
All day long. ALL DAY LONG

If you’re from out of town I’m going to do you a favor. If you’re local you should know a few things about this place.
This is the ultimate dive bar and it’s a hidden jem in Times Square. You would never be able to tell but the blue entrance hides a bar that’s been around for decades. Themed in boxing photos and memorabilia of the past. First thing you’ll notice is the bar and how small the entrance is. If you can sit the bar or side front great. If not make your way straight to the back and try and get a table. The bartender hits the tables in the back pretty regularly.
Another thing you may notice is Jimmy. The owner enjoys his and being around it. He may even help you get settled at a table. The most surprising thing you may notice are the prices. Draft beer and full liquor. Was just there with some coworkers. 2 drafts and a Whiskey/​coke, $ 12.50!!! Where else can you get that in New York City let alone Time Square!!!
Now this isn’t the Ritz. It may seem a little dab but what dive bar isn’t. This is the ultimate dive bar. Cheap drinks, tight quarters, and hidden in plain site with and owner that doesn’t might hanging out. Save your wallet. Take an Über. Drink here!

I’m a little torn between a 4 or 5 star but I will go with 4 until I return again.
Let’s be clear this is a «DIVE BAR». I am all for a Dive bar as long as the Greeting is proper and the beer is cold. Now in regards to the Greeting initially the bartender was dull x dull =dullest, He acknowledged 0% of my small talk, poured me a beer, and stared at me until I gave him my credit card to start a tab. However after that the environment lent itself to good vibes, I chit chatted with a couple out of towners, loosened up, and my male companion came to meet me the bartender also loosened up so «All was well».
The beer was cold and in total we had 3 Samuel Adams Pints and 1 shot each (Hennessy and Jose Cuervo) So thats 5 drinks and the bill was $ 21 !!! Whoop Whoop ! Now where in NYC can you find that kind of deal ??? (And not at happy hour)
Now granted it is not a pretty place but I have payed more in places that don’t offer as much charm. And when I say charm I mean Boxing memorabilia on the wall and dollar bills that have been signed strung up behind the bar. You say messy I say charm lol.
Overall I will be back with friend’s maybe not too many if the plan is to belly up at the bar because it’s pretty tight. Ps. They do have a few tables in rear for a group of four to hang out card table style. Pss. There is a 10 minimum to use your card so if you only plan on having a couple beers (3 each) bring CASH.
Bottoms Up !!!

Best dive bar near Times Square.
I discovered this hidden jewel pretty recently and I have been going there ever since. Usually, I avoid times square like a plague but one day I happened to pass by this bar and was pretty amazed. Cheap beers, local regulars and no tourists. Beer for $ 3 and SoCo shots for $ 4, in the heart of times square. Cant go wrong with this.

Best bar I visited in New York until yet. It’s a super cosy bar in the middle of time square!!!
There were just New Yorker — so it’s very american! When I was there it was packed, but I love this in that kind of bar. :)
The drinks were incredibly cheap — I don’t know how that works at all… Paid 3,50 $ for Gin Tonic — I’m mean it’s not a big glas, but at all it’s gin!!!^^ and the price was totally fine for that. Inside of the bar, there where a bunch of boxing pictures. It’s super quaint and I think of going there again today! :D
So my result: If you are looking for a typical american bar, cheap and in the heart of New York! You HAVE TO go to Jimmy’s Corner! It’s more than worth!

Very cool vibe that completely takes you out of the Times Square hustle and bustle. The drinks here are cheap! We had some liquor drinks that were extremely strong, but we made up for it with some shots. The crowd is middle aged — so don’t expect a loud, rambunctious crowd. The music was oldies and great for the vibe!
One of the bartenders wasn’t really friendly — didn’t smile, wasn’t great with suggestions, wasn’t really making that many drinks. It was clear she didn’t want to be there. (While the other one was extremely busy and seemed pleasant.)
But this didn’t ruin the vibe. Glad we stumbled into this place.

Two (2) drinks — gets you a super, strong Long Island Ice Tea, plus your choice of a Draft Beer for only $ 10.50! Yes, unbelievably crazy in the heart of Time Square!!!
According to the New York Magazine, «The crowd is a heady mix of Times Square regulars and media slummers – estimated tourist factor: less than five percent.» (Best of New York Awards, Dive Bar 2005)
We really enjoyed our time here (me and my twin coworker from another family, from another state) Hahahahah… And many thanks to my Unilocal MOBILE who pointed us to come here!
If you’re looking for more than 30 years of wall boxing picture history, a divy bar with local crowd and crazy fun tourist to hangout with and carry conversations, along with a super CHEAP strong drink, you have to come to Jimmy’s Corner. Service is excellent, gets super busy, but you can always order more drinks just for the fun of it!
Until then, Cheers! ~ :p

Jimmy’s is not on a corner.
Did you walk too far and end up in Hell’s Kitchen? Nope. Still in the Times Square area. A nice contrast.
Cheap booze, divey atmosphere, friendly bartender, no tourists.
Solid place if you are pre-​gaming. Came here before a show at BB King’s and saved a whole bunch of money.

I’ll be going back and bring family. The bar tender was so nice to let us look all around and take lots of pictures.
If you want a relaxed neighborhood style bar where you can play music on a jukebox, this is the place. You can drink seated at tables or at the bar. The location is right in the heart of Times Square. Perfect for before or after dinner drinks. Or before and after a Broadway Show.
Something tells me Jimmy is a really nice guy. It would be a thrill to go in there one day and meet him.
Let’s do our best to keep him in business. If you’re in NYC stop in for a drink. Very reasonable prices!

Guenstige Cocktails, Theater District Manhattan
Uhrige Kneipe naehe Times Square. Waende sind voll mit Boxing Memorabilia von viele Jahrzehnten. Drinks sind sehr guenstig fuer New York. Ambiance sehr Cool.

My lady and I popped in after dinner and shopping. I had been here before after watching Expendables III and needed a locale worthy of celebrating such a cinematic masterpiece.
Anyway, we walk in, nice young gentleman with dreads, tall, greets us. I have a Bud Light draft (needed to hydrate). Lady just had club soda. I have another frosty and a rail whiskey neat. Rail whiskey was unrecognizable and tasted like pure corn diesel. My tab was $ 12.50. I noticed a juke in the back and some random tables in the back that look like they could lead to some spontaneous sessions. I’m giving this dive-​gem 4.5 until I return with friends a couple times and solidify its 5-​star dive status.

Where can you get a drink for three bucks in the heart of Times Square? At Jimmy’s Corner, which just might be Times Square’s best kept secret.
I came here with co-​workers on a Friday night around 7, and happy hour was still going strong. The bartenders were attentive and the place is divey but not in a «I’m scared I might contract something from the toilets here» kind of way.
Seriously though, I’m not over how cheap this place was. Where can you find a bar in NYC where you’re actually struggling to meet the $ 10 credit card minimum? This is the one and only time I have ever had this problem, and the only problem we had while at Jimmy’s Corner. I will most definitely be back.

I found this place when I was looking for places to go for St. Patrick’s Day. I read in the reviews about this dive bar in Times Square with $ 4 beers. Normally, I avoid Times Square due to the crowds, but I checked out this place for St. Patty’s Day and I had fun!
It’s a tiny and narrow bar and my Magner’s was $ 4.50, which is super cheap for the Theatre District. It would be a great place to go before or after a Broadway show. When I went, it was pretty packed and it took us a while to find a table for the four of us. But eventually we did find one and we spent an hour there relaxing and had a great time.
The decoration is old school and is plastered all over the walls. Plus there’s a real juke box here!
This is a great/​cheap find in the middle of the biggest tourist attraction in the world.

Jimmy’s Corner ist ein cooler Pub in dem man hauptsächlich auf New Yorker trifft. Das Bier ist günstig (4 $/​pint) und die Stimmung ist wirklich außergewöhnlich, es ist auf jeden Fall ein Besuch wert!
