The team behind King G is back with Jim’s Alley Bar, a companion concept to the east of the Crossroads deli set to open this summer. The 1,000-square-foot bar is named after owner Eric Flanagan’s maternal grandfather, James, the mustachioed man who beams out at guests from aviator glasses in the bar’s logo. Jim’s will serve up yard beers, draft cocktails, and a menu focused on bar food, with offerings including Italian beef, sausage and peppers, beef sliders, and King’s G’s Taylor ham sandwich. And while the bar has its own distinct identity, it also shares an expanded kitchen space with King G, bringing more flexibility and creativity to the deli’s food program. More food and drinks to enjoy? That’s what we call a win-win.
