This is a great little place to hang out. Can't beat the dark and dingy atmosphere, or the rock and roll on the jukebox. They've a nice selection of whiskeys and bourbons, though the only member of staff who seems to know much about them is the manager. Best night to be there is Sunday night, as its not too crowded, and the DJ plays some great tunes. And despite whats mentioned in some of the other reviews, the bar staff seem alright to me.
The major downfall of this place is the door staff. They really don't care what you think. Either you're dressed too smart or you don't have a girl in tow or its a private party, they will find an excuse not to let you in. Its not worth attempting entry. Why can't they just let people in who want to come in! Idiots I say.
Racist bar. Never seen them let black or asian people in, even when they're clearly rock kids. Racist management who think this is London 1961 rather than London 2011..
If I could only rate zero stars. Bar staff is really bad at their job. (especially the actual manager call Barry) owner really needs to look into investing some customer service training for his manager!
Very badly run bar. Bar staff are idiots. door men even worse. An absolutely awful vibe. The awesome jukebox does little to deal with the absolutely appalling customer experience you'll enounter in this place. Go there at all means if you would like your night ruined.
I think my friends may have been living In Islington too long, when they said the bartender was rude I thought he was really busy and obviously a little under staffed. However if this bar was round the corner from my house i guarantee I'd be staying in Islington for a while too. Amazing juke box, good looking crowd, two walls decorated with BRA'S (I can only guess from excited customers or the bar staffs conquests, probably both) and dark enough to roll in or out early or late, after pounding the whiskey's for a few hours. My friends say that it gets super busy at the weekends, it's only small so i would imagine its pretty cramped, not a problem for me being pushed up against a group of pretty, bra-less, cocktail swilling ladies. Now if I could just find a way to lift it up and plant it nearer to my house...
been to slims on many a Friday night with friends and cant fault it staff spot on drinks awesome great crowd nice vibe . Cant understand the reviews im reading on this website . It was only when i mentioned this bar to a mate that he got back to me mentioning this website and had he looked up the same bar.This bar ROCKS and if a few Muppet's don't like it well good they can @#*$ OFF somewhere else.Ignore this website and go down and make up your own mind im sure you will not be disappointed.
Its an amazing hidden away bar that you would miss if you blinked. Dark and dingy and nothing more. Bringing friends back here.
