1007830 J T Pims

A recent enough re-opening, this is named after the Pims Department Store which covered much of the opposite side of Georges Street in the past. The hideous buildings which are now there only replaced the large mid-Victorian department store in the 1970s. J T Pims itself is in an older redbrick building like much of the street.

Formerly Shebeen Chic and Speakeasy, this is now a cocktail bar primarily, but does have a normal selection of beer and a food menu and is reasonable enough price-wise for the location

When this premises opened, it had been announced that another bar was about to open also roughly named after the same former department store - Tod Hunter Pyms. This opened as 1011716 Idlewild instead though, preventing a name confusion - or stopping a rather boring conversation starter from existing!
