Any Hyde Parker calls it Jimmy’s, though previous owner Jimmy Wilson passed away long ago. It’s the original Hyde Park bar – with a mix of locals, workers, and UChicago students and faculty. You might have professors talking about advanced physics at one table with neighborhood folk arguing over sports or any election next to them. It’s been said that Saul Bellow, Margaret Mead, and Dylan Thomas have all graced the Jimmy’s barstools. Cash only with bar food menu.
