A Guy Walks Into 365 Bars…Again! Bar 79: Jimmy C’s Sports Bar & Grill

by MBIP


Jimmy C’s was originally the Sports Page bar located right down the street from the Tip Top. I remember going back and forth to both bars in an evening back in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s.

Well, we’ve gone to Whitey’s Tip Top on this 365 bars tour and the Sports Page is now called, Jimmy C’s Sports Bar & Grill and that is tonight’s destination, so away we go!

Bar 79: Jimmy C’s Sports Bar & Grill, Sunday, March 29, 2026

Here we are at Jimmy C’s Sports Bar & Grill. As I mentioned in the introduction, this used to be called The Sports Page back in the day. I’m not sure when it became Jimmy C’s, but that’s what it is now!

Let’s go in and take a look around and have a beer or two on this Sunday evening.

It’s a Sunday night, so there’s plenty of seats at the bar. Let’s grab one and get the first beer of the evening.

Amy was the friendly and lovely bartender on duty and here she is serving up an ice-cold Budweiser with a beautiful smile! I love it when this happens!

There’s the back of the bar and as you can see, it’s nicely stocked with plenty of alcohol!

Here’s a shot from the other end of the bar and I love the SLOTS/SLUTS sign over at the opposite end!

There’s tables and a back room opposite the bar in here.

They have a nice pool table back here.

There’s also a boxing machine and two state-of-the-art dartboards.

They have an impressive gaming room over here if you’re in the mood to gamble!

Love these neon signs and there’s a nice side bar area over here to relax with a drink.

Okay, one last shot of the bar in here and then it’s time to call it a night. This place definitely brings back memories from the past! Thanks for the memories, Jimmy C’s!
