I stumbled across Jimmy's Corner while some friends were in town for work. I do not frequent this area of Manhattan so I decided to let them find a place that they felt were suiting for them. Upon entering, the bar is quite small and not much standing room between the bar and the wall. Considering that we had just finished dinner and I wasn't going to be out long, I did not want to order a beverage. However, the bartender stated that I had to order something. (Pardon?) In response to that, I was going to depart and call it a night, but my friends ended up ordering 2 drinks for themselves to consume for the time being in which that excused me for having to order a drink. That completely turned me off along with the staff not really being friendly or personable. I personally would not go out of my way to visit Jimmy's Corner and obvs there are much better bars in the city with friendlier staff, better vibes, and better pricing.

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.

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

Jimmy's Corner is...by far, the best bar in Manhattan by a country mile. Authentic, old school experience of New York. Me and my wife went here on our 10th wedding anniversary when on holiday from Scotland. The locals and bar staff were so welcoming, we stayed for hours, and if we weren't going home the next day would've been back every day of our holiday. Thanks for the hospitality...and the memories. Definitely a must if you go to Manhattan.?

The atmosphere is very calm, a good place to enjoy a cold beer at affordable prices. I recommend it only if you are old school.

Old. Dirty. Small. Dive of all dives. Cold cheap drinks. Don’t expect to be blown away by the environment and you will be just fine
Very busy little pub with good beer selection, very cheap compared to rest of the bars in

I've been coming to Jimmy's Corner for years. It's amazing to me that this bar exists in the middle of Times Square. Amongst all of the national chains, with their massive neon lights and signs, this hidden gem is tucked away between 6th & 7th Ave. First, the prices alone are cheaper than what I would expect to pay in some middle of nowhere dive bar. But getting a beer and a shot for $10 in NYC...in Times Square...it's unheard of. You (or maybe it's just me) would expect the staff in a place like this to be surly and dismissive. Cheap drinks in an overpopulated city with nonstop tourist should drive anyone insane. But not here, every one that works in Jimmy's is welcoming and always on their game. I'm glad that after Jimmy's passing they kept it going. The memorabilia on the wall is phenomenal even if you're not a boxing fan. You can feel the history and the love every time you walk in. No matter where I am visiting in NYC, I will, without fail, always stop at Jimmy's Corner. It is my happy place.

This comes up on google as a top spot for a sports bar but they no longer put the boxing on - say that “that was a former owner long gone “. There was great sport memorabilia but the place is small, a bit whiffy and just looks like tourists having one drink and going. Cocktails were cheap though but didn’t look like the usual cocktails. Recommend instead Trionas 3rd Ave and 17th for a sports bar with screens and good vibe. BTW no sports bars I went to did ppv games so not worth schlepping the city to find.

Best bar in NYC. it maintains its essence as a dive bar where people visiting from around the world come in and meet. Its really a NYC experience all by its own.
