Slammers Sports Bar S By Geneva Nodland
Slammers Sports Bar, part of Red River Lanes, is a historic and beloved spot in north Fargo. Like many others, the dive's community is close-knit. They've shared years of memories, drinks, and laughs—some for a few years and some for decades. Slammers is a local legend when it comes to its regulars, low-key events, and, of course, delicious pizza.
It's evident that Slammers has a rich yet somewhat complex past, with some uncertainties about the exact details, we know the building that houses Slammers has been around since the 1950s. At some point, the establishment operated as Pizza King, while we don't know exactly which years held this iconic restaurant, you can see that there's a coupon for the restaurant in a 1981 issue of NDSU's Spectrum student newspaper! Inevitably, about 30 years ago in the 1990s, Slammers Sports Bar officially opened, marking the shift from pizza to pounders... kind of—while the vibes are different, Slammers does offer some delicious handcrafted pizzas!
