About this business

The Woodlawn Tap, known for its late owner, Jimmy, is a Hyde Park institution. Students from the venerable University of Chicago are known to flock here, before, after, and sometimes even during classes. Don't leave without trying one of Jimmy's famous cheeseburgers, and make sure to eavesdrop on some of the interesting (and decidedly out-of-place) conversations. Saul Bellow and Dylan Thomas are rumored to have drunk here. Jimmy's features live jazz on Sunday nights.

A Hyde park staple for generations. It’s been the setting for many of my most happy and foggy memories since... well, for a really long time.

Nostalgic. Lived here in the 80’s. Hasn’t changed a bit!

The poster child for neighborhood dive bar. Get your margarita from Justin or Evan for the best. Isn’t serving Newcastle anymore, my heart hurts on that one. But my favorite place in HP.
