Iconic Hole in the wall

In the heart of downtown Raleigh, Slim’s Dive Bar has been a cornerstone of the community since it first opened its doors in April 1999. For over two decades, Slim’s has been Raleigh’s go-to dive hole-in-the-wall bar. April 2024 welcomed new owners keeping the bar’s nostalgic history. As downtown Raleigh continues to evolve, Slim’s stands as a true piece of the city’s heart and soul!  Cheers to another chapter of fun, music, and community at Slim’s Dive Bar!

"This should be your dive bar of choice when in Raleigh. Live music, a pool table, and a vibe that is unmatched anywhere else in Raleigh. I went there with my buddy and had a blast. The staff were awesome and the beers were ice cold. Go to Slim's. It's good for you."
