"What can be said about the Slammer that the Slammer does not say about itself. An imposingly precarious edifice overlooking one of Sandy Boulevard’s stranger intersections, draped year round in Christmas lights and concertina wire, there’s nothing quite like it in city limits. Inside the cramped-yet-labyrinthine interior, seasoned bartenders sling beers and shots with ruthless efficiency, knowing all too well that the drink line is a traffic jam waiting to happen, especially during the holiday party rush. A true economic melting pot, it’s not uncommon to see Wieden + Kennedy execs slamming shots next to the neighborhood crust punks under the unwavering glow of approximately one million LED Christmas lights." - Ben Coleman
