8 years agoWalked in here on accident, but am glad I did! Old school dive bar with weird, awesome medieval decorations, a super nice bartender and friendly regulars.
John Wolfe
9 years agoGreat place. Excellent drinks for a reasonable price. The daily specials are always nice. The back patio is perfect in the summer and heated in the winter.

Calla Bjorklund Jarvie
5 years agoJim's Tap is super old-school, but you're going to love it. It's got the craziest medieval decorations and dark furniture; you feel like you're walking into a bar in the Middle Ages. It's awesome, though - great patio, great drinks!
David Ring
10 months agoWe stopped here while visiting our Jackrabbit kid and ended up staying for hours! Nice mix of students and locals, fun atmosphere, friendly staff--this place and Ray's are the two most comfortable places to hang out in town if you don't happen to be a 21 year old college student!
