Slim Jim's Liquor Store in Islington

I used to be a regular.The guy with the pony tail called Rory apparently is incredibly rude to everyone and kick’s people out just because he doesn’t like someone.We didn’t even get served and the other group complaint about him too. He should be ashamed of himself shouldn’t be working in hospitality with this bad attitude

Dodgy rock bar with good vibes and well priced beer. Apparently they have good live bands on a Saturday night, but wasn't happening the Saturday I was there. The tunes they played were still pretty good.

Would definitely recommend visiting Slim Jims, we was in the area and it was first time we’ve been and would certainly be back.The doorman (think his name was Sayeed) was excellent, dealt with a incident quickly and efficiently. Made us feel very safe. The service of the bar staff was great with a good atmosphere. 5 stars

Really awesome venue!Has a good stage and great selection of beers pouring, which includes my favourite E1 Brew Co IPA and Pilsner Lager on tap.Friendly service and love the interior. They’ve got a really good selection of branded neons and a cool bra art installation and plenty of atmospheric lighting and darker tables in corners which are perfect for weekday date nights!Good happy hour deal and love the bathrooms! Full of stickers and doodles.Great lineup of live performances on the weekends.Will be here again for a gig.

Had a great time. Celebrating my daughter having chosen her wedding dress, tried two bars beforehand, one far to noisey, second needed to book, so ended up here, glad we did. Great atmosphere, place looked great, spotted the BRA's!!!!! Very interesting, just the right setting xxx

Used to come here back in the day when it was Matt&Matt.... which was cool and classy. This place is a dive.Went there on Saturday at 4pm with a mate and had the worst welcome to a bar i've ever experienced. Immature, unfriendly bar staff. We didn't spend any money and left straight away due to the unwelcoming atmosphere they masterfully created. Wont return, wouldn't recommend. Went and spent plenty of money round the corner at the Queens Head on Essex Road who gave us a very warm welcome!

It was a great night, I was there to see the band who were doing a warm up free intimate gig before appearing at festivals. Overall definitely a five star down and dirty rock bar that is highly recommended. However one down side was the bar manager who seemed determined not to smile all night. I was sat at the bar for about three hours and had five pints of the also excellent Signature Roadie IPA, good price at £5.60. At one point after it had got busy with band playing only a few feet away a young lady asked if she could squeeze between me and the next person to get a drink, yes of course. Unfortunately the bar staff, who'd been otherwise excellent, missed her and served a couple of people either side. With her frustration creeping up I tried to attract their attention with an "excuse me", the bar manager noticed and served her and she thanked me. However the bar manager then indicated he had a problem with me and after twice failing to hear what he was saying across the bar I walked round to meet him at the end. He told me not to do what I had done, that I didn't know all that he was having to deal with, indicating his radio receiver, and basically that I had been out of order. I was very surprised as, being a bar manager myself for many many years that's the last thing I would do and felt I had been polite and courteous. No matter I apologised but I must say if I'd spoken to a customer like that is be surprised if they ever came back. He wouldn't even give me a smile as I left. Given how good the bar was, the rest of the bar staff who served me more or less the instant I needed a refill, they interaction I had with the owner (I think), and the excellent band I will probably go back but it did sour what had otherwise been an excellent evening. He may well have been having problems but you don't take them out on customers.

Slims feels like home. It only takes walking through the doors to bring out your inner rock star. Confidence and swagger and a banging juke box. Everyone who works here is fabulous, the atmosphere is perfect, the happy hours on cocktails are long and very happy. I've been coming here for many years and it feels just like your favourite lived in leather jacket.

When people talk about 'the place to go'... this is it. Great little venue with some top rocking music! Friendly staff, and a brilliant sound from the live acts (I think the bras hanging from the ceiling help acoustically!)Not too far from several tube stations, so pretty easy to get to.

Great American style bar. Relaxed, good music, great selection of whiskies and bourbons. The staff are always friendly and quick. They managed to keep the bar seating even post lockdown here's to more good times. Can't recommend enough!
