Slim's Restaurant & Lounge

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.

Fun atmosphere, bit of a drive from my place, met friends there for a late night drink. Don't go there expecting cocktails, they pour a stiff cheap drink, they have a decent late night menu and it's a fun dive bar to go to play pool with your friends in ST johns.... What more could you ask for?

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!

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. Food is good. Dog friendly for good dogs.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love the salmon, tuna and curry that’s lifts me up when I feel lost from sight. With bars lost to trends, I love thee with the depth of time the wood paneling and Olric’s beard took to grow- solid and filled with mementos. Laughs, dates, and good times, I love thee freely, without pressure to be this or that like those hipster bars, but firm in character and charm. If God chose, never change. I shall but love thee better next time St. John’s.

If you wanna get yelled at because they got your order wrong like it’s your fault this is the perfect place. Every time I come here I’m getting harassed. Ulrich is condescending Not someone that should be in customer service. I wanted to like this place having moved to the neighborhood recently, but it is not a friendly environment

This is the best neighborhood bar in Portland. Great food. Strong drinks. It's the perfect dive bar.

Pretty decent dive, good divey prices. Falafel was sub par, but as to be expected. They did have Pfreim IPA though, and other good beer choices.
