Easily the best bar in Times Square, and honestly in all of Manhattan. Family owned, run by great people. Must visit if you’re in New York.

Jimmy’s Corner is an excellent bar to have a couple of drinks at very reasonable prices just off Times Square. We visit this bar every time we travel to NYC!

My sisters and I had a few drinks here yesterday. Bartender was very nice, drinks great, prices exceptional. It was unusually quiet which we didnt mind...all seats taken but not too much talking. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

Really cheap $3 per pint. Nice atmosphere. Very busy. Long and thin bar.

What a bar! Especially if you’re a boxing fan! Incredibly cheap or, I should say, reasonably priced as it should be in the heart of Manhattan. A Pint for a 5$. I can’t wait to visit that place again in the future! It’s right at the top of my list. Thank you!

This is the ABSOLUTE best dive bar near Times Square. The place stays slammed because the prices are amazing. Where else can you get a beer for $3-4 in Midtown? I was surprised to meet so many locals considering the location. The bartenders were also very nice despite how busy they were.

Small, cozy and cheap bar in the heart of Manhattan. I drunk there IPA for 4.5 dollars and I was really happy with taste - but of course for me. If you like boxing and history YOU MUST GO THERE. Plenty of old photos on the walls and old posters. Location it's another plus.

This bar is a quintessential old school NYC dive. You get all kinds of characters (old and new) walking in there. The jukebox is outstanding. Love this place!

Love dive bars. This is probably the only old school Times Square bar left. beer and drinks are cheap. Bartenders are friendly and you can tell it is an original.

I recommend this bar cause the drinks are cheap and we saw so much drama pop off within 3 hours it could have been a tv show. Literally comical and best value for booze in Times Square area 100%

Jimmy’s Corner is the real deal — a true Times Square dive bar. It’s small, unpolished, and full of character. Had an awesome time chatting with an Irish carpenter over a couple of pints (only $5 each — absolute steal for Times Square!). The bar seating makes it easy to strike up conversations with actual people, not just tourists. Loved the vibe, will definitely be back. On go there if you like Dive bars !

It's a shame to hear that Jimmy's may be closing its doors soon. Definitely gonna be sorry to see it go. Was introduced to Jimmy's over a year ago. A truly dope ass dive bar with an...eclectic array …

I must say this place is popular 😄 by seeing the crowd. Seating place is limited so people stand and drink. They don't offer anything to eat. It's purely drinking 🚰 place. They serve wine 🍷 , beer 🍺🍻 , whiskey etc alcoholic beverages. They also serve cold drinks, soda 🥤, juice 🧃. Parking spots are all paid no street parking spots are available. See pics for more details. Thanks 🙏👍

This is the quintessential dive bar of NYC it was very lively the three nights I went there it is RIDICULOUSLY narrow but the atmosphere is electric the beer is good quality fair and the service is very good. I was entranced by the ‘tab system’ they have both funny and interesting Would be great if they could knock through a wall then it would be four stars Loved Jimmy’s for its fun free and quirky character 😺👍

We stopped by Jimmy’s Corner around 9:30 PM while walking through Midtown Manhattan — and the place was already buzzing with energy. If you’re looking for a classic, no-frills New York bar experience, this is definitely the kind of spot you’ll want to check out — with a few things to keep in mind. 😉 When we arrived, the bar was pretty full, but we managed to grab two seats right at the bar, near the bartender. We ordered a round of beers, and service was quick 🍺✅ The atmosphere? Loud, lively, and a little chaotic — in a good way. People were talking, laughing, drinking, and enjoying the vibe. There was even live music, which added a fun touch and made the place feel very alive 🎶🗣️ 💭 The interior definitely feels stuck in time — and that’s part of its charm, depending on your taste. The decor is old-school, the lighting is dim, and everything has that been-here-forever feel. If you’re into modern, sleek bars, this might not be your scene. But if you’re down for a bit of gritty NYC character — this bar leans into it unapologetically. 🚻 Small note: There’s only one restroom stall for everyone. It’s tiny, and for such a packed place, it felt like not nearly enough. But hey — it’s a small, narrow bar, and space is clearly limited. In short: ✨ A great place for a quick drink and soaking up some vintage New York bar vibes ⚠️ Don’t expect anything fancy — this place is all about the feel, not the finishes 💡 Probably not ideal if you’re looking for a quiet conversation — this one’s all about noise, nostalgia, and night-out energy ⭐️ Overall, I’d give it a solid 3.5 out of 5. It delivers on the atmosphere it promises — just know what you’re walking into. 👉 RECOMMEND 🍻 (Personally mine)

Pros cheap place to get drinks in Times Square. Cons it’s so filthy here. I’m a fan of dive bars but they never clean here. It’s absolutely covered in dirt and grime. Recommend you order beer by the bottle.

Popped in twice and is cheap but not the cheapest (Mr Biggs wins that hands down 3 dollars for coors light). Only went in twice but first time staff were slightly off with us and we don’t know why,…

Female bartender is rude and abrupt. I am 24 and young looking, walk on and was yelled at for my ID by the bartender immediately. Not asked for, yelled at. Fine- understandable, I look young. I get it checked by the male bartender and he sends me on. I walk 3 feet further and again, the female barber tells me to stop walking and does not ask for my ID, she demands it. Now I understand checking ID’s for young people, but what I do not understand is the demands and abrupt approach. Instead of demanding ID’s and acting as a bouncer, she should consider asking. Lost my business.

The most unwelcoming bar in NY, Only place I have ever visited where I felt embarrassed and upset by the way they spoke to me and my family.

Not good left waiting at the bar, blonde barmaid was serving friends before us and said not to worry about us we could wait, hasten to ad we didn’t wait so rude, went to the Irish bar next door…

I love a good dive bar. I hated this place. The bar was moderately crowded on this Saturday afternoon, but there were a few seats open at the end near the old jukebox. The bar narrowed at this far end and I got the impression the bartender did not want to travel down to my confined space for this reason. The bar was humid and poorly ventilated. Damaged, poorly maintained pictures harkening to the bar’s pugilistic origins adorned the stained walls. The jukebox played on and off, unpredictably, though patrons had loaded it with money. The regulars seem to like this quirky malfunction. There is a $10 minimum for card purchases, though I was ready with cash in hand. The bartender went out of his way to serve other patrons, who had already been drinking, before even acknowledging me. He never did serve me. After 15 pathetic minutes of waiting, as the bartender amassed and then removed empties in front of me, I left to O’Donoghue’s next door. That bar was packed. I was served in under two minutes. If you think that surliness and aloofness are “cool” traits in a bartender, you are wrong. If your bartender shows these traits then it means he sucks at what he does. If you profess to be a dive bar, that does not mean your service should mirror the bar’s dilapidated surroundings in its inattentiveness. Take a look at Rudy’s down the street in Hell’s Kitchen or McSorley’s in the East Village. Those places have been around for ages (and will continue to be) because they provide great, fast, courteous service. Finally, if you take pride in being a “regular” here, I would submit that you made some very questionable life choices to get here. Keep up the bad work. It should hasten your welcome closure.

Alejandro Prada

The Asian bartender was super rude, she was literally talking bad about me and my friends group right in front of us. Stop hiring people with a bad attitude, because at the end of the day we’re all paying for a good service, tipped her a lot of times and still acting like a jerk isn’t right. bad service, we are here to have good time, not to put up with their personal problems. BADDDDDDD

Brian Ramírez

A perfect bar if you enjoy being treated with contempt… as long as you’re a tourist. Ignored, met with annoyed looks, and a service that only exists for the “regulars.” If you’re a tourist, don’t even expect water. The waitstaff seem to genuinely hate their job and the customers. The final touch: we had to leave because we were explicitly told they wouldn’t serve us anymore and that we should go. Blatant discrimination against tourists. Avoid this place.

Raphael Araújo

I had a very disappointing experience at this bar due to the bartender’s behavior. The bartender, a blonde woman with short hair, was extremely rude and disrespectful. She even made inappropriate comments saying that my friends and I don’t know how to speak English properly. Because of her attitude, we decided not to stay at the bar. As we were leaving, she sarcastically waved goodbye to us, which made the situation even more uncomfortable and unprofessional. I usually don’t leave negative reviews, but this level of disrespect toward customers is unacceptable. Customer service and basic respect should be a priority in any establishment. I would give this place zero stars if that were an option.

Ivanka Marusak

If i could give this bar 0 stars I would. Right as my friends and I walked in we were greeted by the blonde bartender with a weird haircut and she was so nasty to us words couldn’t even describe it. We were a group of 5 and she stated it was too large of a group. My friends later went in separately got a drink and the bartender continued to be insanely disrespectful to the point other guests were left with their jaw on the floor. She complained about no tip but they had not enough cash and said the rest of us weren’t welcome because of it, even though we would’ve all used our cards to tip. the atmosphere was unbearable and even if there was room for us I wouldn’t step foot in even if I was paid to do so. That nasty individual is setting a terrible impression on what could be a great bar for young folks to go to on a budget. 0/10 experience would not recommend to a single soul. it

Avoid This Place - Rude Staff and Terrible Drinks I don't usually write negative reviews, but my experience at Jimmy's Corner was so bad I feel compelled to warn others. We stopped in for a quick drink and were served by the blonde bartender. The service was appalling from the start. When I simply ordered a margarita, she looked at me with utter contempt and acted as though she had never heard of the drink before. She was extremely rude and condescending, making me feel like an idiot for ordering something that wasn't a can of beer. When the drinks finally arrived (after much eye-rolling), they were horrendous. I'm not even sure what was in them, but it was undrinkable. We left them nearly full on the bar. To top it all off, the entire bar has a pervasive, foul odor that can only be described as smelling like poop. It's a combination of a dirty bathroom and a broken drain. Save your time and money. There are a thousand better bars in the city. We will never be back.

First thing I noticed was that the place smelled so bad and hot but I was willing to dismiss it since we went there to have a good time. It was my last chance to hang out with my best friend before I move to a different city. The service was horrendous the server was extremely rude and passive aggressive. I forgot to tip her for a second while I was paying in cash and she yelled at us for that. I also got confused with my order since I couldn't think of the word for the drink I wanted to order and said different things and she was so sarcastic for my mistake and she made fun of my action to the customers next to us. I was sitting right behind her I could obviously hear her. She is such a hateful person and a bully and she ruined my last night with my friend. We are probably half your age please act like a grown up. Yea so if you want a cheap drink while sitting in a damp hot urine smelling pit with horrendous service go for it
