J's Judgments
TA Slammers is exactly what a dive bar is supposed to be — cheap drinks, smoking inside, pool tables, and a narrow “one long alley” layout where you can see everyone the second you walk in. No draft beer, no kitchen, just chips and boiled peanuts — survival rations for when the drinks hit faster than expected. Come for drinks not dinning.
The bathrooms… listen — I don’t recommend trying to discover spiritual enlightenment in there, but if you absolutely need to drop off a tax deduction, the option exists. Function over comfort. Blink-and-you’re-done type bathroom where you lose your soul on the bowl 💀😱
There is some atmosphere but it isn’t the building — it’s the bartenders service. They are 95% of the identity of this place, and the reason people come back instead of wandering next door.
Tori is the grounded core of the bar — the one with quiet heart. She’s got that “older sibling who came back from the military and chilled out” vibe, but with more warmth and realness under it. She’s steady, calm, and stoic but genuinely gives a damn about the people who sit in front of her. No theatrics — just presence, loyalty, she knows the people and has the kind of heart that makes a dive bar feel like a home base. Think warm heart, steel spine — kindness first, consequences on deck.
Taylor is pure spark and chaos in the best way — if an e-girl clown and Roz from Monsters Inc. fused with a dash of Harley Quinn energy, that’s her. She doesn’t just make a drink, she performs it — attitude, comedy, and delivery all in one shaker. And if you start acting stupid, she’ll 86 you with a smile and make it look effortless.
Together, they are Slammers. Without them, it’s just a smoky hallway with alcohol with a door that slams. With them, it’s the kind of dive bar people actually come back to and slam for!

Stopped in here to celebrate a friend’s birthday! Never been here before but the bartenders treated us like regulars. Fantastic bartenders, great music, crowd, etc. We live about an hour away, but we plan on going back soon!

I’m specifically here for Taylor’s hilarious fart jokes haha. Hope, Abby, and Jay are pretty cool too though. The staff here is really welcoming and kind. Come here for reasonably priced drinks and good company!

Boiled peanuts here are the best I've ever had. Bartender with blonde pixie cut is best bartender. Drink prices reasonable. 👌 place is a lil smokey, but very welcoming to everybody who pulls up. Me and my friends love it.
