ABOUT THE VENUE

Hidden behind a retro diner façade, Slim’s is one of Perth’s most iconic late-night haunts for underground music lovers. Step through the faux fridge doors and into a neon-drenched world of deep basslines, local selectors, and off-beat energy. With a gritty dancefloor, arcade corners, and a 5AM license, this place pulses with raw, unfiltered sound – from underground house and techno to hip-hop and leftfield electronic. A staple for night owls chasing something real.
