 Synopsis
Not a bar but a small hot dog shop in the Freight House Shops. You stand in line to order a Chile dog and you pass coolers of imports and micro’s. Find one, pick it and pay for it then sit and have the world go by. Why go to Paris? Walk in at the Smithfield St. bridge entrance and it is on the left side. The selection is rather large. Since this is not a bar I would not try and sit down for drinks only. This is the only non-bar I have listed but I think this place is really something. In fact, some years ago President Bill Clinton took Prime Minister John Major here for a drink. They came down the incline.

 Hours
Open seven days a week along with the shops at Station Square. 

 Holiday Closing
If the shops are open Jimbo’s will be too.

 Beer
This is strictly bottles and do they have the selection. I would not place them here if all they had were a few.

 Parking
Station Square has ample parking in several lots and the garage. Station Square is a short walk across the Smithfield Street Bridge from downtown.

 Cash Problem?
The ATM has been removed. Ask the staff for the closest machine.
