"Locals still tell friends to meet them at “Jimmy’s” the name of the bar’s former owner, Jimmy Wilson, who died in 1999. Regardless, this tried and true dive bar has provided a meeting point for generations of college students, professors, and Hyde Park residents. Pitchers of beer are popular here as are the burgers. It’s an affordable spot that caters to the University of Chicago’s community." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
