Editor’s picks from published local guides
Slim's compresses live music, cheap drinks, stickers, pool, pinball, and a smoker-friendly patio into a narrow Wilmington Street building. Bands play close enough to erase the line between stage and crowd. New ownership has kept the 1999 venue's rough edges intact, preserving a room where volume, regulars, and accumulated history matter more than polish.
