Jimmy's

They probably have the best martini's in town. The place is small but classy.
I would definitely recommend this place.

I was introduced to Jimmy's by my non-Yelper friend Alison.  I must say, for a lounge, it is not bad.

Jimmy's is a more upscale bar than anything in Downtown Akron.  Needless to say, they are a little bit pricier than everything else, yet have a better selection.  For instance, imports reigned supreme over domestics, and wine and well drinks reigned supreme over beer.  The bartenders are awesome and friendly, so you can at least strike up a conversation with them.

The clientele is far less fratty than at Lux or Paolo's (thank God).  It's also more refined than at 69 Taps.  In other words, you're more likely to get yuppies, but nothing is likely under 23 or over 40. This isn't a hipster bar, though; it's just upscale.  There is a front patio, as well as a back door that exits out onto Paul Williams St.

Jimmy's, for a small Downtown Akron lounge, is pretty sweet.

A night of bar hopping lead us to Jimmy's after a stop at 69 Taps. With a couple drinks in my already I am usually a bit more loving to a drinking establishment.

My first impression was cozy with the looks of a more regular crowd. The seating was pretty nice although not the most comfortable. A dim light environment that had a off duty cop, 2 girl friends and a couple who looked like they were on their first date. Everyone seemed to also be having a good time so that is always a plus. Our order was taken quickly but overall the menu is kind of boring. It has enough but beer wise I would like to see more. The martini menu was nice and I think that is what they aim to be, more of a martini place though they do say wine too. The wine list was lacking. I think if they carried more I'd come back for a glass.

Pros: Great service, stiff drink, decent price.

Cons: the music played here is awful. It's a mix of everything that is played entirely too loud for this small bar. It's the reason in the end we decided to leave.

I might be back to grab a drink and try their food.
