The theme in this whimsical joint, which seems to be a tribute to the vibe of the Cactus Club Cafe and Earl’s Restaurants, takes place in a menu of staple choices like pizza, burgers, nachos and beer. Launch an evening with a Vegetarian Pizza ($9) or a plate of Nachos ($12), which are both tasty and satisfying. The pastry chef practically dares you not to order dessert with the New York Style Cheesecake ($6), which rates up there with some of the best in the city. There are 12 brews on tap and a full menu of wine selections.
Next door, Jahnke has established the Tap Houses’ brother, Jimmys Cold Beer and Wine Store. It’s stocked with a mix of liquors that offer you the convenience of grabbing on the go. Either way, Jimmys offers a relaxed, sporty and downtown feel; expect this place to be jammin’ in the warm summer months, where people will be fighting over the sun-drenched patio. Make sure to check the place out between 3-6pm, when appetizers are discounted. - L.H.

3 Reader Reviews | I am always happy to see an new funky environment. I was severely dissapointed with Jimmy's. Myself and a friend had gone in to catch the end of the hockey game and have a few drinks last Thursday evening. I was impressed to walk in and find it about 3 quarters full with a lot of staff on hand.
The experience quickly took a turn for the worse when it took no less than 15 minutes for a server to come and take our drink order. After which it took her another 10 minutes to bring us our drinks. The beers were big and ice cold, but the fact that the service staff spends more time chatting by the kitchen then bringing us our order soured the entire experience. Needless to say that after one drink we headed to the Library Square.
It will be a hard sell to get me back there.

Myself and a group of work colleagues went to try Jimmys after work on a friday afternoon. We were excited at the prospect of having a new spot with a cool patio just around the corner from the office and decided to try it out. We grabbed some seats at a cool oval table by the bar and ordered a round of pints, which were delivered in ice cold frozen glasses. I was very impressed by the service and food, everyone was very attentive and friendly, the music was great and everywhere we looked there was a big plasma screen tv to look at. The martini and cocktail selection was excellent; we travelled up and down the list trying some tasty concoctions especially the sour peach martini and "bird dogg" cocktail. Looks like we found our new spot! No attitude, a cool room and great food and drinks. Definitely worth a try!

where do i begin?
we were there on a friday after work - first round of drinks went fine. second round, not so good - later with food, 1/2 of the table got what they ordered, the rest of us not so much....they offered to get what was ordered at no charge but it never showed up. we had to wait for cutlery too, another at the table saw the manager drop it on the floor then bring it to us....
the service overall was unbelievable - the girl that was our server couldn't take an order without a pen and still got it wrong, that is if she even came by the table....finally i went to the bar for a round of shots and the bar tender gave some girl sitting at the bar one of the shots i had ordered for free, while i'm standing there paying for 4. When i made a comment he just shrugged and smiled - not cool!! if he wanted to get in with the slut at the bar at least wait till i'm gone!
then the bill, we all knew it was going to be something else....and yes it was. All kinds of things that had already been paid for, food that never came, drinks that had never been ordered - she took it back 3 times and it still wasn't right - we paid for what we had, absolutely no tip. we were ready to get the manager involved but he was no where to be found.
