For over 25 years, Slim’s Dive Bar has been the heartbeat of downtown Raleigh’s music scene, showcasing some of the most exciting up-and-coming local and regional bands.
Our stage has played a role in the rise of several artists who have gone on to make a name for themselves on the national stage. Bands like Drive-By Truckers, American Aquarium, and Bully have graced our stage, delivering unforgettable performances before their journeys took them across the country.
Every show feels personal, allowing you to get up close with the artists and enjoy performances in a way that larger venues just can’t match. The small space pulls the crowd and performers together. It’s a true Raleigh original—raw, authentic, and unforgettable.
If you’re in a band and eager to make your mark, we want to hear from you!
