The best part about going to Zimm's is the clientele. We enjoy a stylish and sophisticated crowd of all ages and many have been included in a select group known as the Zimm?s family. If you love Zimm's as much as most you too can become a member. Our staff is trained to receive you as if you were a guest in their home. You should expect to be welcomed when you enter and to be told thank you and have a safe drive home when you leave.
Thank you for your interest and please stop by for a drink soon! If we don't already know you please introduce yourself. Our staff will do their best to make you feel at home and to be sure that your evening at Zimm's will make you want to return!

In Short
First-time visitors may think they've wandered into some tweedy British social club by mistake--leather wingbacks abound; the music is tasteful, the ambience sedate. Victorian divans and chairs encircle candle-illuminated tables. Sky-high drink prices keep the hoi polloi out. This isn't just a place for grown-ups, but grown-ups who know whether their martini is shaken or stirred and whether the brandy snifter has been properly warmed. Still, it's a godsend for those sick of pubs, sports bars and meat markets.

Everything you've read about this spot, good and bad, is likely true. Zimm's has a bad case of cool. In fact, it thinks it is cooler than it actually is. It's a rather unattractive quality, and frankly a downside, to a bar that was beautifully designed and appointed. When you really take the time to watch people, they look around as if they are looking for a mirror.....read that sentence again. The staff here is "sometimey". My guess is, they like the money, but hate the self-loving, obnoxious clientele. There is always the possibility that they also percieve themselves too 'special' to behave respectfully, but if you scratch the surface on the majority of the crowd that occupies Zimm's on a regular basis, you will find the same sparkly, but vacant and useless, gold-plated piles of poo that have simultaneously defined and destroyed the mid-town social scene. Go ahead and laugh...you know it is true.

I recently visited Zimms from out of town this weekend. Let me begin by saying, the crowd was very classy. I was greeted and charmed by all its regulars who are fixtures at this lounge. The service was great and all the bartenders were charming. I also enjoyed the various music selections played untill the DJ arrived. I highly reccomend and will be back soon!!! The belini martini was the best!!!!!!!!!!!

This bar is pretty much my second home and its hard to pull me out of it at times. I Love Danny, Ginger, Donald, Matt, Ross and Curtis. Really cool people and they will put a smile on your face and a drink in your hand when you need it. I have had My birthday, My boyfriends birthday, and Valentines in Zimm's. Great place to take your friends if you want to relax with real people who are classy and not obnoxious. Such a relief from bars with guys who wear their shades in the dark and girls who are "promoters". I love you Zimm's!
