What players say

Great dive bar in the heart of down town. I love the upper floor with the pool table and pinball machine... Back smoking patio is great as well... Bar staff and patrons were friendly.. gonna make sure I stop into Slim's Everytime I'm in Raleigh!

★★★★★ Roadhouseguitarworks, Jun 2018

Nice local spot in the heart of downtown. Your favorite home in the wall type bar. Good music, pool table, outside sitting/smoking area, live music. Knowledgeable bartenders, excellent drinks

★★★★☆ Kenny'S, Jan 2026

I hate using the word “dive” for a bar like Slims. Yes it’s dark. Yes it looks a little run down. No you’re not likely to see too many lawyers in suits and you’re not going to get any craft cocktails here. But what you do get is friendly service with generous pours of quality well liquors at very good prices.
