Ellington

Calling the local bar and restaurant a "swankateria," Esquire has conferred an impressive honor on the place that "Best of Jackson" voters often call out as one of the "best places to spot legislators" and one of the "best places to eat when someone else is paying." The writer gives particular props to Schimmel's for its weekend transformations into the Houserockers venue for Subway Lounge-style blues.

There's a slider on the page that lets you set your own rating for Schimmel's and pay homage to Jay and his efforts at a serious lounge and restaurant in Fondren...give 'im some love!
