What makes Slammers special

Marcia Riley ran the bar for almost 30 years, and in 2022 her nephew took over and kept much as it was. There’s a rainbow mural, a terrace, pool and pizza. During the week quiz nights fill the tables, and on Sundays there’s karaoke. The crowd is mainly female, and men and everyone else are welcome.
