Slim's Information

Slim's - Concert Venue in San Francisco.

Opened by renowned R&B artist Boz Scaggs in 1988, Slim’s is one of San Francisco’s coolest nightclubs. Situated in SoMa, the club was designed to serve up a spicy gumbo of musical tastes.

Echoing a New Orleans aesthetic with rustic brick walls and glowing chandeliers, Slim’s features two levels, the ground floor with the stage and a 30-person balcony area, in addition to a long L-shaped bar. The venue offers an extensive menu of both food and drinks.

Previous concerts at Slim’s include performances by Radiohead, Kings of Leon, Pearl Jam, Bruno Mars, Young the Giant, Prince, and Tyler, the Creator.

Slim's User Reviews

Jim Parkinson Feb 20, 2013 4.0 stars The BEST Let me start by saying that Slim's is my FAVORITE place in the city to see a show. But in all honesty, I may be a bit biased and here's why. First, Slim's hosted two of my favorite Japanese pop bands, Puffy and Stereopony, so points for that. Second, there was plenty of parking close to the venue (though that may have been because the performers have modest followings in the States). Third, I was able to get right next to the stage and close to the headliners (come to think of it, THAT may also have been because the performers have modest followings in the States). These factors all came together to make my two experiences at Slim's absolutely flawless. But really, there are other things to like about the club. It's small and intimate. The main floor in front of the stage is just for standing, but there are tables in the back of the room and in the upstairs balcony (for an extra fee, I presume). The stage is just high enough to provide a good view if you don't feel like standing among the crowd. There's also a bar and food served, and the staff is friendly and prompt. But the club's most memorable attribute to me can be summed up by one word: CLEAN. It's the CLEANEST club I've ever seen in SF, and I've seen a lot. The place is damn near sparkling, and the bathroom is more hygienic than mine at home. I almost wanted to eat in there. Obviously, this may change depending on the performers and the crowds they attract, but I remember being shocked at how well-kept Slim's was during my first trip there, and when I went back a few years later nothing had changed. So here's the rundown on Slim's: nice location, great setup, obscure headliners, good service and clean, clean, CLEAN. If a band you're even remotely interested in is on the schedule at Slim's, mark your calendar and make the trip.
Jackie DeJesse Dec 4, 2012 3.0 stars Fun Shows Slim's is a classic SF venue that gets a lot of great small artists from across the country. You can buy tickets for the floor, or if you prefer you can sit at tables upstairs. I think the floor is great because you're literally right in front of the artists and amid all of the energy. Tickets are really cheap and are worth snatching up because they tend to sell out quickly. While they tend to bring in alt/punk bands, they also bring in indie hip hop artists like Blue Scholars and Atmosphere, so you never know who will be featured next on their calendar.
Tenaya Ende Nov 28, 2012 3.0 stars Nice venue I've only been to Slim's once, but thought it was a pretty nice venue. It's nothing too special but there's enough room to hold a good amount of people without it being too crazy. There's also an upstairs, which is nice if you don't want to be on your feet the entire time. This is definitely the place to be if you're into smaller punk rock bands!
Rachel Golden Nov 21, 2012 4.0 stars Small, but Big Slim's isn't the biggest of venues in the city, but this is the center for all that is underground rock and punk bands in the city. I saw The Adicts here this past year and I can't even tell you how amazing it was. The Adicts has got to be one of my favorite punk bands ever. Slim's not only held this band really well in it's venue, but they also let the chaos build and build! If you have never seen The Adicts or heard their music, once you look them up you can see how crazy it would seem their shows would get and it got wild! I have to say, one of my favorite venues in the city to catch some great punk rock bands.
Dana Greene Oct 5, 2012 3.0 stars A venue you can breathe in! Finally, a spot that keeps it cold inside and is roomy enough to house a large crowd. As a music lover I appreciate small venues just as much as the next gal, but there's something to be said for a little breathing room. And a killer ice cream sundae. That's right, if you sit upstairs (and I love to sit at shows) you have to order food. Ice cream sundae for $5 you say? Well twist my arm. Not only do I get a great show but I get a great sugar high followed by a great beer buzz. Sounds like a good time to me! If you're like me and you have to drive to SF ($1800 for a studio? Are you nuts?) parking can be a nightmare. But I find the SoMa to be quiet on the weekends so parking was easy. And there's a great little mexican restaurant close by for dinner before the show.
