Man, that’s fucked up. I bet they were tourists, or just plain idiots.

UPDATE: You can’t bring food into Jimmy’s any more. Some idiots were abusing their hospitality. Virgil’s would get so packed that you couldn’t even eat at the bar, so people would order take-out, then go over to jimmy’s, pig out on barbecue while using JC facilities and only order a soda or asking for free water, wasting their time for almost no money. They’ve since rescinded their policy of allowing food, with no exceptions. Thanks idiots for abusing the system. It was only $3 for a bud or $4 for whiskey/bourbon on the rocks, and you can’t through them some real money?

Anything that Jimmy’s wife tells me to do i’ll do. Shes always really nice to me. Also, Jimmy owns the building thats why its still there. He sold off part of it years ago, i heard thats why its kinda cramped now.

Jason, thats Swanee’s job. First off she’s jimmy’s wife, not just a bartender. Secondly, the guy was probably too shy himself to ask people to move. Lastly if a person is standing behind the seats while a friend is seated and they’re drinking, it makes it awkward for people to have to pass.

If that’s the worst thing you can complain about any bar, that’s pretty good. Then again, you’re a regular yet you don’t know the name of the “older lady” so I’m not surprised you’re complaining :)

I use to love this bar but recently the older lady who bar tends has been getting on my nerves. I was in there recently with friends (four of us) and both times she made us all get up from our seats to move down one seat for one guy! I can understand her motive but she was just rude about it telling us to move and not just simply asking us.

Used to love this bar, but had 2 bad experiences recently (both in June in a 2 week spanw) so will not go back.

1) Was with 2 other friends and waiting for 4th so we sat down in a 4 seat table and drinking. The waiter told us that if 4 people come in the looking for a seat we would have to leave the table.

2) Sitting at a table with a bunch of guys and we ordered a bunch of drinks and there was a lot of tip money on the table, a friend ordered a round of shots and charged it, but only left a small amount of tip on the card since we were all going to handle the tip and the waitress commented on the tip and gave us such attitude, when there was already $20 or so on the table – it was uncalled for.

Leave Jimmy’s Alone. Last thing I need is more trouble getting a seat at the bar.

Okay okay. If you must go, treat Mike, Swani, and Marta well. The drinks are cheap but that doesnt mean you should cheap out on the tips :)
