Zinnie's is certainly no secret to Midtowners and Rhodes students. Zinnie's is a midsized dive bar with a unique atmosphere, friendly staff, surprisingly satisfying menu options and enjoyable amenities such as board games and free popcorn (best with the Tabasco sauce the regulars will insist you pour all over it.) The greatest assets OZ has to offer is the spirit of camaraderie you'll encounter with the friendly and knowledgeable bartenders and the regulars. It's very difficult to enter Zinnie's alone and leave without some new friends. The bar has a limited draught beer selection, consisting solely of Bass, Guinness, Yuengleung and PBR. The bartenders have a wide knowledge of shots and mixed drinks. The authors of this blog have a great deal of history here: Many treasured and misplaced memories between games of spades and connect four. Here are my gripes:
- Lots of underage college kids. Though having an abundance of over 18 and under 21 coeds at a bar is not always something people complain about, they can result in the staff resorting to gestapo tactics to protect themselves from TABC agents.
- LOTS of smoke. don't bring clothes you don't want to smell like an ashtray.
- They used to have a kick ass jukebox, lots of local artists and motown but now they just have one of those internet connected ones that you can find anywhere. Lame as hell, Zinnies.
- I have no longer gone to college with all of the bartenders. We miss you James, Sabbath, Liz, and Rich.
I don't have any kind of rating system yet, so i'm gonna give Zinnies one drunk picture of me inside:
