Slim's Restaurant & Lounge

"This place is awesome. Food menu is good and priced well. Fantastic atmosphere. Moved from Texas about 2 weeks ago and this place makes me feel like I'm back home. Open late as well, which is rare around this part of town"

"Maaaaan I wanted to like this place, I really did. My partner and I just moved to the neighborhood and weeve gone in a few times together and separately a couple. Everytime we have had a somewhat weird experience. It’s a dive bar, right? Seems pretentiously divvy with how unfriendly staff is. It’s just odd I don’t understand being treated like you’re unwanted in a space when you’re literally just there to say please and thank you, tip the bartender and give business. Food sucks too so shrug I guess."

"Didn't eat but smelled good. Sweet dive, good vibe, pool table, board game table, low lighting, 50's style diner grill that you can see them cooking up the goods on. I didn't drink but they have a good selection of whisky and they have beer on tap. Update: Burger was great too"

"Definitely your classic Portland dive bar. The atmosphere is great. Clean restrooms. Good service and a pretty decent breakfast. There is some seating out front for those that like to people watch! Definitely recommend."

"I ran into Hamad and was very pleased since he has been out of town for a long time and his bar staff has largely done a good job supporting any needs that should go to him. The staff here historically has always upstanding. Gunner was the single most talented and capable and human rights advocate person to ever grace this place! People don’t get rowdy. It’s a chill spot. Neighborhood AF. Breakfast is banging and I literally get the blue cheese steak to go more than once a week sometimes it’s so good. Breakfast has great vibes to start your day and it’s never rowdy. You can catch people chilling and having meetings throughout the day. I enjoy the bench style outdoor seating booths that are kind of cozy and intimate. This is THE spot for downtown St John’s historically so I will be back hoping for great vibes. Most of the bar staff know the neighborhood I well enough but I do have a little problem with the enabling of the rumor mill around here. I personally get villianized by a regular patron who approached me romantically— we had no prior history than him knowing my late ex and that I planned to move back here. Rumor mill has it wrong. Not changing spots for dirty looks. Food and company are too good!"
