Profile

At this veritable shrine to boxing, the walls are lined with fight posters, photos and other personal effects that owner and professional trainer Jimmy Glenn has pasted up over nearly thirty years (look for the shots of Jimmy with Ali). The house drink, Jimmy's Hurricane, is an intriguing blend of spiced rum, juices and amaretto, but it's a good idea to stick to beverages with no more than two ingredients. The crowd is a heady mix of Times Square regulars and media slummers—estimated tourist factor: less than five percent. The music's always good (the jukebox is a motherlode of Staxx), the beer is always cold and Jimmy himself is usually on hand keeping it real. — Angela Voulangas

I walked into JIMMY"S CORNER and what a refreshing change.i come from newcasle upon tyne great britain. .JIMMYS is the best bar in NY.great music.great cold beers.everyone very friendly.JIMMY looked after me and was a great host.down to earth.nothing was to much bother.staff were great.loved it so much was there for 4 nights in a row on my vacation in NY.talked to local guys from new jersey,queens. bronx,and also people from pennsylvania,canada,you could not find a more welcomed bar in NY.its not a 5 star bar.prices for drinks very fair. but has more character with all the legends boxing pictures on the walls.and all walks of people from all over the world. that there first place for a drink if they come back to NY is JIMMY"S CORNER.i will visit jimmys again because its the genuine feel of the place with the people that make it the BEST BAR in NY and i have drank in quiet a few bars around the world in my time.thanks again jimmy from neville x

Its a favorite spot everytime I hit NYC on business or pleasure. You can always count on a great conversation, seeing or meeting new friends, the coldest beer in Manhattan and classic tunes. Its perfect when not too crowded but thats the downside of a legendary bar that has held its appeal for decades -- not too flashy, not too extravagent, just one great time.... and then theres Jimmy, No one makes you feel more welcome or makes sure your taken care of -- Its like coming in to his home and your always welcome. My son turns 22 on sunday, doing a summer internship on Wall Street and the drinks are on me -- I know he'll be stopping in to Jimmys Corner for a few cold ones with his buddies! Happy Birthday Son, Jimmy will take great care of you!
