Slim Jim’s Liquor Store is a late night rock bar and grassroots music venue at 112 Upper Street in Islington. The intimate setting combines a carefully stocked back bar with regular performances, club nights and a jukebox devoted to rock classics. It is a lively choice for drinks before a show, an evening with friends or a full night of live music.
Whisky is a central part of the drinks selection, with bottles chosen from different producers and regions around the world. The range gives curious drinkers room to compare styles while keeping familiar pours available for regulars. Other spirits expand the options for guests who prefer rum, tequila, gin or a straightforward mixed drink.
Classic cocktails provide a more composed alternative to a neat spirit, while cold craft beer covers an easy choice during a busy gig. The focus remains on recognisable drinks served in an energetic bar rather than formal dining. This direct approach suits the venue’s music first character and makes the selection accessible throughout the night.
Live bands and solo artists appear regularly, with DJ events running across much of the week and many performances offered with free entry. The award winning jukebox keeps the rock soundtrack moving between scheduled sets. Together, the drinks, close quarters atmosphere and support for local performers give Slim Jim’s a distinct identity within Upper Street’s nightlife.
