Woodlawn Tap (or Jimmy's as it's fondly called by regulars, a nod to longtime owner Jimmy Wilson, who died in 1999) is a scruffy place, and has been since it opened in the 1950s. It attracts a diverse clientele -- artists, business people, students from the University of Chicago, construction workers, booksellers and Nobel Prize winners. As the closest bar within walking distance of the university, Woodlawn attracts a large student crowd during the academic year. The menu features cheap hamburgers, barbecue beef and Reuben sandwiches.

Woodlawn Tap is located at 1172 E. 55th St. in Chicago's Hyde Park Neighborhood
