a "dive" bar just the way i like it. non descript, great music AND happy hour until 8:30. refreshing bar in WV that isnt date-y, girlsnightout winebar, or bro-y. my favorite go-to in this hood

During the day, Automatic Slims is a casual eatery known for its burgers, but when the sun sets the party starts. Patrons rock out to the oldies and turn the restaurant into a dance floor.

Perfect for when you're over in meatpacking but don't really want to be.
David BanApril 6, 2014
This distinguished dive has one of the best remaining happy hours below 14th ($4 drinks till 8:30), but I didn't tell you that.

One cool bar with great food and excellent bartenders

One of the best bars in Meatpacking District. A small watering hole in an otherwise Los Angeles style neighborhood

Great and late happy hour, awesome playlist, but super grumpy rude bartender girl. 🤦🏻‍♀️
Matt BFebruary 27, 2011
Great bar, but they post 2-for-1 drink specials on Foursquare and then the bartenders won't honor them. If you're gonna do a social media marketing campaign, coordinate with your employees.

Get some live music. Chorizo tacos are tasty.

What happens in automatic Slim's stays in automatic slim's said the bouncer and with that we closed the doors and danced on the bar top.

Love this bar. Great bartenders, interesting crowd!

Good weekday happy hour. Weekend nights are a madhouse, but fun.

Umit Benan, famed Turkish Designer: "If you want to slum it, then Automatic Slim's (or Hogs and Heifers) is my favorite."

Starts off low key, gets weird, good vibes throughout.
Eoghan O'DwyerDecember 6, 2015
Good vibe and a decent IPA on tap.

The old school R&B and reggae playlist is the best after work remedy.
Jack GashiOctober 18, 2014
Great music and neon lights, love it
Tanya Palmer-LabeckJuly 26, 2011
Says it's open 5:30pm to 2 am mon-thurs... and til 4am fri and sat. It's Monday, 9:15pm, and closed!

Our guilty pleasure. You head to this place when your friends want to go home and you want to keep on dancing.

Legendary place, used to be John Kennedy Jr.'s watering hole. R.I.P.

The workday is like a play date :)

Two locations: Memphis and NYC. It's like Joshua Tree and Martignetti's except fewer D-bags. Arrive before 10pm on weekends, unless the M:F ratio is less than 1:1

I'm just saying this is basically the only venue I've ever seen with a "C" rating from the health department.

Natalie the bartender on Thursdays should run for President.
Marieka JacksonSeptember 6, 2012
Shitty ass place. All beer was 86ed (and wrapped in toilet paper),7 bucks for bottled crap like Bud/Heineken, and the waitress didn't offer us water, or ketchup for our fries/burgers, or check on us

Cheeseburgers & Cranberry Sodas! #PSH

Strange crowd

annette is the best bartender ever! But I shall be seeing Risa soon!
Deanna FJuly 14, 2014
Terrible management and super sheisty. Don't have a party there or they will try to cheat you out of money, then kick you out when you call them out on it.
