For many people, the Jinx feels like a home away from home, and that’s one reason they clean up in these categories year after year. Friendly bartenders—such as repeat Best Bartender winner Gil Cruz—great live music, and a $7 House Special make The Jinx a really special spot. Its role as a major stop on the Southeast tour circuit has brought it into the stuff of legend.
