Kennesaw is a growing community and Kennesaw State University is becoming bigger and bigger by the minute. So what better way to accommodate new inhabitants and students than having a new sports bar/family restaurant/night club? Jimmy’s Pizza Sports Bar and Grill, located 5-10 minutes away from KSU’s campus, is a new place for food and fun.
Let’s start with the food. With a name like Jimmy’s Pizza, obviously the No. 1 item is pizza. Pizza lovers have plenty to choose from, but if you get a chance, try Jimmy’s Pizza with sausage, onions, mushrooms, ham, pepperoni and black olives. If you’re not into pizza, that’s OK because there are also delicious sub sandwiches to choose from, such as the philly cheesesteak, Italian and meatball parmesan, to name a few. Additionally, there are different entrees to choose from that range from chicken parmesan to lasagna. And of course, like any other bar, there are great appetizers that range from wings to chili cheese fries; I would definitely recommend the wings if you cannot decide.
For all the sports enthusiasts out there, you will not be disappointed, as there are numerous flat-screen television sets along with a full bar to watch the all-important Monday Night Football game or college football matchups on Saturday. There is also a game room right next to the tables and bars featuring arcade games and five pool tables as an alternative to keep you entertained.
Another unique feature is that it turns into a bar/club after 10 p.m. Friday nights are “Fantastic Fridays,” where two DJs perform and drinks are flowing with free shots and $2 draughts. On Saturday nights, it changes from week to week but the fun ranges from a live performance from a local musician to dancing. They also have “Ladies night” in which all ladies get in free after 10 p.m. (There is typically a $5 cover charge).
But what I love most about Jimmy’s is the checkerboard sets at each table and the installed Wii system in the game room. The checkerboard set provides patrons with a good way to kill time while waiting for their food or drinks, while the Wii gives interactive gamers a chance to use a video game system that is unavailable in other bars.
Owner Jim Callison wanted to be different when it came to having a sports bar, and there is no doubt that this bar is different. With great food, live entertainment and tons of games to play, Jimmy’s Pizza Sports Bar and Grill is one of the most fun establishments around.
