New patio brings a taste of aloha to local hangout
Jimmie’s Cornerstone Bar & Grille, a stone’s throw from Miami Valley Hospital on the corner of Wyoming and Brown streets just keeps getting better and better.
Jimmie Brandell added a kitchen in the back room of the bar to start his family-run restaurant business in October 2006 and just shy of two weeks ago Brandell debuted a 50 seat patio behind the back of the bar. The impressive space is framed by bamboo and features a largish concrete bar when you enter to the left as well as a cool fish pond/fountain in the far right corner of the space.
Built by Aloha Pool and Spa (237 Virginia Ave., Dayton), Brandell said he worked with Aloha owner Koa Llacuna to make his vision for the back space happen. The relaxing vibe and cool space makes for one of the best patios in town. You’d never know you’re sitting so close to a hospital or busy street.
Brandell said he intends to keep adding to his sizable menu saying that he had ordered a slow cooker to do brisket and different meats. If you haven’t been yet, Jimmie’s (formerly Walnut Hills) features big portions, reasonable prices and fresh ingredients further complemented by great service and atmosphere. And now a cool outdoor patio space. Take a look and see for yourself.

PARKING: This can be a little confusing to those unfamiliar. The parking lot across the street from Jimmie’s next to the Taco Bell is the place to park. There are a few spots behind the bar but those are hit and miss — if you’re looking for a sure spot this is the way to go.
