Lonely Planet review for Jimmy’s Woodlawn Tap

Some of the geniuses of our age have killed plenty of brain cells right here in one of Hyde Park’s few worthwhile bars. The place is dark and beery, and a little seedy. But for thousands of University of Chicago students deprived of a thriving bar scene, it’s home. Hungry? The Swissburgers are legendary.

    UChicago's best student bar

    remelila recommends this,

    A great, dark-wood university dive -- join the crowds of UChicago students talking big and spinning bullshit tales over pints of draft beer.
