A low-friction Times Square pick for a casual drink, especially when the night is already in Midtown and a rooftop reservation feels unnecessary. Better for solo drinkers, pairs, late-night fallback plans than dates, large groups, or food-led evenings.
About Jimmy's Corner
Jimmy's Corner in New York City is a casual venue with a long daily operating window. The details are practical rather than decorative: casual dress code, New York City location, hours that run late every night.
Use it when the plan calls for a simple New York City stop with late hours and casual expectations. If the night needs a different setting, Bar 54, Broadway Lounge, Mezzanine Bar, Sushi Lab Rooftop, or Dallas BBQ Times Square may be worth comparing depending on the kind of outing you want.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Jimmy's Corner feels like a compact, deeply local Midtown refuge. The narrow room and walls layered with decades of boxing photographs and fight memorabilia give the place a lived-in, archival character; everything reads as accreted by regulars rather than staged for tourists. Service and pacing skew relaxed and unfussy, and the bar's identity is inseparable from its community—the regulars are the baseline, not an afterthought. That combination of intimacy, sports-memorabilia clutter and a quietly unpretentious approach makes Jimmy's an anomalous, quietly charming piece of old-school Manhattan hospitality amid the bustle of Times Square.
Best For
Jimmy's Corner suits quick after-work drinks, late-night rounds and informal pre-theater stops by people heading to nearby shows. The bar's modest pricing and unhurried rhythm make it an easy place for office workers, commuters and theatre-goers to slip in without ceremony. It's best for small groups or solo visitors who want a straightforward, no-frills drinking spot where the décor—an archive of boxing history—and the regular faces define the experience more than a menu or fancy cocktails. Expect low-pressure service and a crowd that skewers local habit over hype.
Ordering Tips
Keep orders simple and low-key: Jimmy's operates on an unpretentious, middle-ground logic rather than a craft-cocktail one, and pricing sits at the lower end of Manhattan's range. Because the room is narrow and populated by regulars, be prepared to stand or squeeze in at the bar during busy moments and to accept a relaxed pace rather than hurried turnover. Respecting the long-standing clientele goes a long way—this is a place formed around community, so simple drinks and a polite, easygoing attitude fit best.

Bar context
Mezzanine Bar is the better choice if the priority is a more composed Midtown setting, while Jimmy's Corner is the easier, lower-ceremony option for a quick drink near the theaters. For a planned date or client-adjacent drink, choose Mezzanine Bar; for a casual post-show stop, choose Jimmy's Corner.
Bar 54, Broadway Lounge, Sushi Lab Rooftop make more sense when views, seating, or a more structured night matter. They ask for more planning and usually suit visitors who want the setting to carry the evening. Jimmy's Corner is the counterpoint: less production, easier entry, a better fit when value and speed beat ambiance.
Dallas BBQ Times Square is the better fallback for groups that need food and room to spread out. Jimmy's Corner works better for one or two people who want a drink without turning the stop into dinner.
