Jimmy's Jiggers and Oyster Bar

Jimmy’s is amazing! The history of the bar is a true Kansas City treasure! Great atmosphere. Great stories.

Between medical school and residencies I spent 9 years at the Kansas University Medical Center in the 1980s. My father spent time there as well in the 1950s while he trained at KUMC.

Jimmy's Jigger (and Jimmy himself, of course) was always a part of our story during those times. Every student and staff at KUMC knew Jimmy personally for almost 50 years.

Everyone related to the medical center was really saddened when the bar changed hands in 1991. It wasn't the same after Jimmy left. It was now just another sports bar and the one time I returned during that period was dreadful because it had been just ruined. Not the same experience.

I live in Virginia now so I hadn't heard Jimmy's grandson had restored the Jigger. I recently brought my daughter and grandson into the Jigger and about fell through the floor when I saw Timmy behind the bar! He is the spitting image of his grandfather. We talked for over an hour. Great guy, just like Jimmy. I am so happy that the best bar in KC has been restored to its original mission.

Absolutely the best experience ever! The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was full of charm and history. The bartender, who was his grandson, shared touching stories about his late grandfather, after whom the Jamestown neighborhood is named. It was truly special to hear the history firsthand while enjoying a great meal. Highly recommend!

If you want a bar that knows your name and treats you like a family friend, this is it. The history is rich, the food is amazing and the staff is one of a kind.
