Staff are very kind and don't chop your smoke in half as you walk by to get in line. I really have not found the sweet spot in the room for each show. Brick. Clean. More Subs! Kids can be rude. Dis u.
steve imho best bartender here. he always remembers my drinks no many how many thousands of people he's seen since then. tip this man well, and appreciate his awesome bartender-ness, please.
Jole PJuly 28, 2015Really nice, intimate, hip venue. Kehlani slayed there last night soo...:) they get really awesome Bay Area artists especially
Rob RayJanuary 18, 2012Not a bad seat in the house. In my experience, handing over a great tip at the beginning of the evening before things get too crowded is SUPER effective at getting great service later in the night.
Great, intimate venue with a great bar. There are a few non-dinner ticket tables in the back, but you'll need to come early to snag one.
Avenue LiveSeptember 25, 2013Love the fact that Slim's has a dinner/seating area by the bar. Nothing like Cheddar & Bacon potato skins or a big plate of nachos while you listen to the bands play!
Damian BayonaJune 19, 2017Perfect sized venue. Good views from every corner of the house. Dinner options are available as well 🤘🏻
Amanda Van WestMarch 21, 2012This is one of our favorite venues in SF. Just small enough to feel intimate, but always a buzzing crowd. And FYI, there are bathrooms downstairs!- Good small SF venue, competent staff. Seeing Gogol Bordello here years ago is probably still my favorite show ever.
Cait SalzNovember 14, 2017Great music venue and Big Bar. There’s and upstairs where they host dinner during shows.
erinsauceDecember 14, 2015Be aware of the columns when you pick a spot on the floor. They can block your view of the stage if you're not careful.
AminaOctober 21, 2009Saw Owl City here....awesome! The venue is small and intimate, so reserving a table in the balcony means that you can sit down and watch your performance but still see and hear everything well.
Daniel SalinasAugust 15, 2011The sister club of the Great American Music Hall, performers at Slim's know how to rock out. Love the vintage videos without sound they play during intermission.
Gia RobertsMarch 5, 2017Saw shiny toy guns here! Great small to medium venues to catch a great band.
Kian LaviFebruary 29, 2020make use of coat check downstairs and don’t forget there are two bathrooms! buy merch.
Crystal FauntJanuary 10, 2016Coat check and bathrooms downstairs. Parking can be difficult, probably best to not bring your car.
Lauran PriceOctober 20, 2012Such a great place! Especially if you want an intimate experience with the artist!
Jennifer YipNovember 14, 2014small, single room intimate venue! lots of young kids here though, usually at the front
If you check in on Foursquare, Yelp or Gowalla & show the door staff you get a coupon for $2 off a Food order.
ThorSeptember 4, 2011Great venue for rock shows. Buy the dinner ticket, you get a decent meal and guaranteed seating.
Slim's good venue! Slim's have good bathroom downstairs! Slim's need bring back MIRV for happy-goodtime show! Slim's have no mosh/crowd surf sign that no one listen to!
Beau GundersonFebruary 7, 2013Holy shit this place was filled with obnoxious drunk kids. I support all-ages shows and used to go to them when I was younger so I know it can be better than this. Yikes.
Dalton CrosthwaitNovember 7, 2011Always stand in the middle to get the best view of the stage. Those columns are killer!
AnneDecember 13, 2014Dinner ticket is worth it for the seats, food is mediocre at best. Well liquor tastes like Windex, go for the good stuff.
Angela OnestaraloneFebruary 13, 2011Free Sticker w Purchase if you show me (Voodoo Glow Skulls Merch girl) this tip!!
Mica PirieFebruary 28, 2010There's a bathroom downstairs near the coat check. Empty & clean at a sold out show
