Small bar playing cheesy music with bras on the ceiling – what morecould you want! Can get a little crowded but is definitely worth visiting – gobefore 9 at the weekend and you get in for free – go after and it is about 3.
This place is brilliant, although they weren’t serving food when I went it’s all about the feel you get the minute you walk in. Like walking back in time. There is a lot of whisky on offer and that is never a bad things. Good old fashioned rock and roll playing as well.. This is a fix for when you need some rock nostalgia
A playful, 80’s L.A. style bar with a working jukebox that’s always backed up with requests from everyone having a great time. It’s not hard to make friends here and I’ve easily had one of my more memorable nights here, despite the amount of drinks knocked back. Dress code: No suits, ties or formal wear. Strictly casual. The door staff don’t hesitate to refuse someone they think doesn’t fit in.
Slim Jims stays open later than most other bars on Upper Street so is always reasonably full on weekends and week days. The place has been successful in replicating the style of the kind of American bars you see in the movies. Think Coyote ugly; the place is dark and the music is loud. The bar is lined by raised red stools and the walls are covered in posters of old rock stars. Bras hang from the ceiling due to the bars old gimmick where girls could flash their bras at the bar staff for a free glass of Prosecco, or, for those in a particularly naughty mood, donate their bras to the display for a free bottle. Unfortunately this seems to have come to an end, but the bar still maintains its distinctly mischievous feel.
The atmosphere at Slim Jims is just fantastic. It’s a short walk from Angel tube station and is well worth a visit if, like me, you are after a fun bar with something a little different about it.I went there for happy hour with friends and had a great time.The quirky decor of hanging bras and graffiti’d walls transports you out of London and is a real experience. The service was on the slow side, but that’s my only complaint.Slim Jims is a hidden gem andI highly recommend the ‘Parma Violence’ cocktail.
Slim Jims models itself on a traditional American dive bar. This place is dark & dingy with a generously stocked bar. It’s most in your face feature though is that the bar area has covered the ceiling with bras! If you want to donate your bra to their ceiling they will give you a t-shirt for your troubles. This bar has a great atmosphere, a good soundtrack and a very reasonable happy hour, so it’s a great place to start the night.
Slim Jim’s is great for a night of boozy fun with friends. They have a jukebox which i loved and a fantastic selection of tunes. The vibe is sort of an edgy indie-rock vibe, which for some reason encourages me to drink whiskey, so I have never had a bad night in Slim Jim’s. By the end of the night everyone will be dancing.
