Slim's

Regardless of what bar/pub/club you go into, you don't expect to be refused service after only a couple of beers.
Unfortunately for me, thats what happened at Slims.
Now I know it's not because they thought I was drunk, because after the

You can't beat Slim's I have been going to shows here since the 80's, they usually have something good playing and the drinks are gooood! You have to stop by Slim's to take a peek if you are in town!

I Love Slim's. I've seen Rx Bandits,Gym Class Heroes (twice), Bayside,The Pack, Cobra Starship, & The Fall of Troy all at Slim's. Slim's is small, but not too small. Its small enough to get really close to band & perhaps meet them after

Xzibit & San Quinn played at Slims last night and they were awesome. The stage is within reach of the standing area and the bar staff were cool. I purchased my ticket in advance online through http://www.slims-sf.com and it was waiting for me when I got there.

i saw crackpot theory there once it was a pretty nice place. they have a lot of bands performing there that are hard to find performing anywhere else (like crackpot theory). i dont want to call it small, it was "cozy." you get really upclose to the band, which was nice.

My friend went here to see her favorite band from Japan which is a very rare occasion and it made her very happy. This is a great venue for both local and well known bands.

PROS: Great bands play here.
CONS: Get's very hot.

I came here to see Rooney and Everybody Else perform in April and the venue and bands were great. This place is a bit on the small side, but it makes you feel really close to the band. The shows are also all ages which is a plus. The stage is really close so I was literally right under the band! I got there early just I could be near the front.

One of the best places to go see shows at whether your seeing a local band or a more popular band. It is all ages, even though theres a bar. You are not allowed to Crowd Surf or Stage DIve (there are signs that say you cant) but you can still have fun singing to the lyrics with your favorite band. The stage is really close so, you can be right in front of the band without any guard rails or anything. If you want to be up front though, make sure you get there early so you can have a for sure spot held up fornt.

For bigger-name acts, Slim's gets absolutely jammed -- to the point of not being to move, get a drink, etc. It's smaller than you'd think. But the music is always good. And parking's not too bad at night.
