Jolly Tinker - BRONX

I’ve enjoyed drinks in bars, pubs, and taverns all over the globe. From Singapore to South Bend, I’ve savored fine whiskey and occasionally sipped warm beer, but I…

I enjoyed many wonderful moments at the Tinker during the 60s and 70s, as well as at Louie's across the street.

It was wonderful to return to my old neighborhood. The Tinker made me feel truly welcomed.

I visited today with my family to take advantage of the $1 taco deal they offer, which Google recommended as a local spot. Overall, it was a decent experience. We tried all the $1 tacos available, but I wasn't a fan of the jerk chicken tacos. The standout for us was definitely the grilled chicken tacos—they were fantastic! However, I was a bit disappointed that the $1 taco menu only featured three options, all of which were chicken. It would have been great to see a different meat option or even a vegetarian choice.

I've always admired this place from the outside; it looks stunning. Maybe one day I'll stop by to play some pool and grab a drink of water. I believe my mom would enjoy it too.
