The Jimgermanbar

We wandered into the Jimgermanbar while waiting for a table at the Whoopemup. We didn't eat but only had drinks. The drinks are strong and the staff friendly. Prices reasonable and a nice break from drinking wine. It's an eclectic mix of hunting lodge meets West Elm. The vibe is hip and a fun/relaxing place to hangout. Time almost stops in Waitsburg.

jimgerman bar's (JGB) positive reviews are so on point that I really can't improve upon them, but I am so amused by the few negative reviews that I want to respond to them.

JGB is all about personal and hand crafted. Do not be in a hurry when you go there. It is a part of the magic...slow down, relax, watch him make a drink, smell it, taste it, wait for some really good rustic food, talk to the strangers next to you who will become new friends...this is all good tonic (ha ha) for a rushed, overstimulated and too stressed society. This type and level of service is not possible with a busload of wine tourists with an itinerary to follow showing up without notice.

Under different circumstances I believe the disgruntled reviewers would have left Jim's in the same mellow and appreciative state that I have on a regular basis over the five years I have traveled to Waitsberg to spend time and money at the JGB. Both always well spent and good memories made.

Note: ask for a "Sardinian Ricky" if you like gin.

We've been to jimgermanbar a handful of times.  Last night, like our other visits, included exceptional drinks and tasty snacks.  

A bit of advice, call ahead for a reservation.  Seating is limited.  You really get the personal touch here especially at the bar where you will pick up some tips on mixing cocktails.
