Grand Forks, North Dakota --- I enjoyed myself at "Sledster's" thanks to bartender Mallory, and the outdoor drinking area in the rear alley area The day I was at "Sledster's" there was a red-carpet alley fashion show ... Got to meet some friendly interactive locals, including Chuck the Accordion musician Beer was a bit pricey but the atmosphere of the bar with "sled flair" gave it character. Myst be hoppin' when basement pARTy Zone kicks in pARTy On! Mallory ... (best bartender in Grand Forks ... so far ) "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! www.PartyReptile.com 08/27/15 read more

See all

im a 21 yr old in college so as far as my opinion this bar was awesome!... Iv only been 1 time but actually ended up leaving Gilly's on a band night because it was ridiculously loud to come to Sledsters. I fell in love! There was a bunch of drink specials, good dance music going with a nice jukebox on site and they had pool tables going along with a few beer pong tables. H-E-A-V-E-N. Check it out! read more

One of the best watering holes in GF. Go there, get shwasted and tell about it to your friends next day. Even better bring your friends over and get shwasted with them. Cheers! read more

If 'stormy' means 'smoky', then the name is absolutely correct. This smoky little bar is busy and loud, just the way a bar should be. I just wish the patrons would lay off the marlboros... Recommended. read more

Good drink specials, great food menu, 2 Dart boards, Pool table in the downstairs, Open mic night on Tuesdays, and a spinable shots wheel. New owner really cares about turning the place around and doing community events like the recent Beer and Bacon Fest. Recently added a new kitchen and food menu as well. Always have a good time there. read more

Like this place because it is a dive, has friendly service, and a back sitting area -which is downtown. Inexpensive. I would recommend avoiding this place on a weekend unless you like that fratty party scene. A weekday evening it is usually quiet and actually hold a conversation. Sometimes cool events in the basement of the building (bands, etc.). The cop station is near by this bar and they like to sometimes like to harass folks leaving, even if you cant see them in plain sight, so be careful. The management is fantastic (Ryan, I think) does everything in his power to make sure folks are happy and safe. read more

I walked into this place during a Tuesday night pub crawl to commemorate a 21'st birthday. It was around eight o'clock when we came in, and in the future, I would wait until 9, seeing as that's when they start their specials. The place is a bit small, but I wasn't complaining. They had the usual Jukebox (that costs 5 dollars to use) and Buck Hunter. Near the back are some tables, a pool table, and a door that leads out to a smoke patio. I was unsure if smoking was allowed inside because there were no signs, so I assume you must go out back to do so. We grabbed seats at the bar and proceeded to order. The beer selection here is mediocre at best. As for taps, they only had three, and this was including Bud Light, so I guess you could say it only had two real beers. The rest were in the little fridge with the glass doors behind the bartender. I ordered a bottle, and she served it. When I paid with a debit card, the bartender went into a little nook where the register was kept out of sight. I think the register is a bit old, because it took her a few minutes. Looking into the actual mini-fridge I could see their actual selection. If you are a fan of Pabst, then this is a good place. Then came the actual hard liquor. Remember when I said I would have waited until after 9 to come in? That is because their rail drinks specials are $1.50 a pop. Wow. Lets ignore the fact that Capt. Morgan and Smirnoff aren't included in that deal, these were, as I would discover later that night in a woozy stupor, the cheapest rail drinks on the whole trip. Just pick a spiced rum or their UV, and sit yourself down. The pictures people have posted show a more expensive price, but when I have gone in, it has been this price. In the way of food, I doubt there was any. They had some Miss Vickers Sea Salt chips for a couple bucks, but nothing in terms of burgers or actual prepared food. And if you want mixed cocktails, then come prepared with the mental knowledge, because the poor bargirl didn't have a mixer book. Sure, they had the Grasshoppers and Chuck Norris' that every bar in town has, but if you want something else, you'd better know what it is, because they won't help you decide. Thankfully, however, the bartender had the know-how to make Skittle Shots. In conclusion, there is no food, the beer selection is sparse, and the drink menu is nonexistent. But, and this is a big but, their prices are some of the lowest in town. And if getting smashed on shots of UV Cake is your goal, this is the place to do it. If the bartender had been able to give us a drink menu, and if there was some form of kitchen for food, I would give this place a 5. But cheap drinks only go so far. Go in for the shots, go elsewhere for everything else. I will be going back again. read more

Best part is the outdoor seating. You can catch a good buzz here, and chat with friends. Recommend the big beers after 9 pm, this is a much better beer deal then otherwise. Some nights are excellent. There's a deck a band could play in, but I haven't seen many bands around. In the back theirs two alley ways and the back of a pizza joint, and a walk through on either side of the bar. Bar hop to this place. It would be nice if the colors (outside and inside) were brighter. Great, if regular music that wasn't pay to play. Prices: Are a bit high ($$ plus a 1/2 $ buck sign in relationship to what your buying and diving atmosphere. Recommend specials and using cash. If the drinks were cheaper and the food was better they'd be an excellent place! Music: They charge extra for picking songs (that large electronic juke box that looks like an IPOD screen. :( On the other hand they have off sale (take out liquor)... but its 8.99 and up and has only about 4 servings of alcohol in the liquor. Parking: A 4 level structure is across the street. Don't park in 24 hour reserved.The police station is very near so be mindful as you pulling out of garage for rushing vehicles, and sirens. Nearby: Everything, and city hall, courthouse, police station. Group oriented customers. Staff is polite, and the spin wheel doesn't seem to be relevant normally. This is a small upcoming business I think. They have potential ....There is some amount of rift raft running around, You might want to avoid arguments with them even if you think they are alone (they're not). read more
