Slim's, the San Francisco nightclub that presented an eclectic array of live rock, blues, jazz, folk, R&B and rap artists for over 30 years, has been sold to new owners promising to book "mostly EDM, Top 40 DJs" and "no live band[s] like what Slim's had." The new club in the former Slim's location at 333 11th Street will be called YOLO, according to a permit application to the City of San Francisco. The application also promises a dress code, ropes or barricades for lines at the front entrance, and security staff in suits and ties. In other words, it's not at all like Slim's, whose closure in March marked the beginning of the pandemic and the end of a Bay Area institution. Owner Boz Scaggs said that the closure was planned before the COVID-19 pandemic. In its three-decade run, Slim's hosted a constant stream of live bands, including intimate shows by #radiohead , #Prince, #Coldplay, #BrunoMars and thousands of others inside its brick walls. #slimssf #alwayssf #streetsofsanfrancisco
