Opened in 1988 by rock musician Boz Scaggs of The Steve Miller Band, Slim's is an awesome spot to catch live music. You'll find up-and-coming touring acts and sometimes a genuine rock star or two performing in this intimate club. You can get close to the musicians on stage and enjoy more floor space near the L-shaped bar near the back of the club. Slim's is small enough for excellent sight lines no matter where you stand. For those who want to take a seat, there is a second-floor balcony with chairs and tables with a waitperson to deliver food and drinks. The type of crowd varies, depending on the genre of music and band scheduled. Shows often sell out, but the design of the space allows you to move around without feeling too crowded.

    WILLY PORTER. 1/21/00. THIS GUY HAS THE WHOLE PACKAGE: GREAT SONGWRITER, GUITAR PLAYER, VOICE. SOUNDS LIKE 4 GUYS PLAYING ALL BY HIMSELF. PLAYED SOME FAVORITES FROM "DOG EARED DREAM", 1995, AND SOME NEW ONES FROM "FALLING FORWARD",1999, AS WELL AS ONE IMPROMPTU NUMBER COMPOSED FROM SUBJECT MATTER CALLED OUT FROM THE AUDIENCE. WHY ISN'T THIS GUY HUGE? SLIM'S PROVIDED AN INTIMATE VENUE, WITH RATHER STINGY SEATING. WILLY..COME BACK..OFTEN.

    Great atmosphere, decent sound system, fair priced drinks, great up-and-coming bands. As for the previous seating comment, this isn't a Vegas show, this is a type of place to get up off your ass and jam!
