    Been to Kimboz a few times after having sushi across the street at Edomasa. The bartender is friendly, atmosphere is dark and moody. Drinks are strong. Just a great local place to grab a drink. Never disappointing.

    Pretty much my favorite neighborhood hideout.  The mixed crowd is good for people watching, and can even lead to conversation with some of the patrons.  No pretentious buffoons allowed.

    Drinks are poured like they mean it, not too shabby.

    I'm a big fan of neighborhood dive bars and this one makes the cut. Plenty of local flavor can be found here. On a recent Saturday evening the crowd was a mix of barflies, regulars, couples, students and young singles. The common denominator for this eclectic group was the enjoyment of strong drinks at a cheap price in a chill environment. Pool tables and juke box add to the entertainment value. The ultimate "anti State Street" spot to socialize in SB.

    Jimbo'z used to be a short bike ride over the overpass from my very first out-of-college-pseudo-grown-up apartment.  If the tacky neon L-O-U-N-G-E lettering outside doesn't lure you in, then you probably aren't interested in what Jimbo'z has to offer.  It is the perfect place to go if you are looking for a cheap drink in a small, dimly lit place with colorful local characters.  A gray haired biker named Bix once bought me a shot of jack and growled in my ear like a lion there.  

    My friends and I spent many memorable evenings there shooting pool, drinking pitchers, and playing Big Buck Hunter with the Eagles blaring from the jukebox, before biking home with smiles on our face shouting
    jimBOOOOOOOOOO'z! up to the stars

    We rolled in here waiting for the amazing sushi bar across the street to open and fell in love with this little neighborhood bar. Two pool tables in great condition, friendly bartender and no clubiness from the regulars.  Drinks were cheap and there was plenty of seating.  We will return, and stay longer this time! By the way, you won't see the name of this bar on the outside, there is another name of a bar that is long gone.  Just use the address to find it instead.

    I don't have too much to say about this place, but the bartender was awesome and the place wasn't too crowded. I hate having to stand all night long in bars, but we were able to get a table right away. Definite plus for that.

    It's not a place to try and meet people per say, but if you just want to hang out and play pool with friends, this is the place to go!

    It's a dive, but the cheapest drinks in town!  I wandered in there with a couple friends, had a few rounds and we had to question the bartender that our tab was correct.  Impressive.
