The Slammer

Great bar with a high quality beer and (extensive!) whiskey selection, set in a former jail house. Dog friendly with indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly and knowledgeable bartender. Beers were great.

Neat little bar! Love the outside area with the firepit and warm overhead heater! I wish they would serve a domestic light beer like Coors, busch, or Michelob.

Rare and barrel proof whiskey on offer by folks who know their stuff. Great beer list to back your dram. Built in the old historic jailhouse on Main Street, the surroundings couldn’t be more perfect. Close to the riverfront and the kayak shop, plenty of recreation post incarceration 🔐

Cool little hole in the wall spot in Buena Vista especially for whiskey and bourbon lovers. Had a cozy and fun time hanging out by the fire pit sipping whiskey on a cold March night. Can’t wait to return after a Summer hike.

The extremely affable owners of the Slammer have absolutely nailed a fun niche experience in BV: a highly curated American whiskey selection of which they are very knowledgeable, delicious craft beer representative of breweries across the country, a few fun small snacks, select canned wine/beverages, and an uncommon setting...an old historic jailhouse. All of which made for spectacular birthday libations and celebrations! Cheers to a job well done, fellas!
