Chill place. I liked the vibe of this place. Just really layed back and the bouncer was really cool at the door. This place is very small though and people seem to love to stand in the 2 foot area between the bar and the wall when the front of the place is empty. Also I only gave 3 stars because the DJ was terrible. I took a night off from my job (djing) on saturday and I hope they weren't paying the girl because a Itunes playlist could have done the same thing. The guy that seemed to come on at 12 was for sure better but I ... read more

Banquettes greet guests of the narrow, low-lit space, with a bar leading to further seating in the rear. On weekends, DJs entertain the crowd with rock, funk, '80s and a little old-school hip-hop. A rotating pool of local artists' work hangs on the red walls. The entire scene can be observed from a small balcony. Drinks are simple, with domestic and imported bottled beer and well cocktails...

Have your party there Held my 23rd bday celebration last night and everything went perfectly. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical at first, reading all the reviews--the birthday party breakdown just sounded too good to be true: drink specials for my friends and I drink for free?! But everything worked out as such even despite setting up the specifics with the booker (who didn't provide much detail about anything over the phone). The bartender (didn't get her name unfortunately) was great and even offered to call the owner ... read more

Perfect Party Place My friend and I threw a joint birthday party at the Skinny last Saturday. From the initial conversation with Sean to the end of the evening, the Skinny was perfect. The mezzanine was reserved for the party of about 35 people. My friend and I received wrist bands to drink for free all night and they arranged an optional top shelf open bar for the rest of my guests. The DJ played a perfect mix of hip hop, 80s, and pop. The Skinny is great for a night out; it's an excellent place to throw a drama-free, fun p... read more

nice find Just trolling the lower east side last night and happened upon the skinny at about midnight. Cool spot, good D.J., relaxing vibe, and bartenders were cool. One of the bartenders was an owner and he had a shot with me. I suggest if you're ever down there, check it out. Oh and drink deals were great! I'm definitely making The Skinny my spot when i go down there from now on. Pros + service, music, prices

Good prices on drinks at The Skinny Went to the Skinny with several of my friends recently for a few drinks and while it wasn't my favorite place, I can't say I had any major issues with it either. The staff was friendly and attentive at the front door and inside. The drinks were prepared well and at pretty good prices. It was a little quiet when we first got there but it got busier after midnight, with a decent crowd rolling in. It's pretty narrow inside and not the roomiest place (hence the name ""The Skinny"") but getting... read more

Best Birthday I threw my boyfriend a birthday party here. Everyone was so helpful at getting things set up. The bar really gets crowded after 11:30. The music was great and everyone had fun. Pros + Friendly staff, great music Cons - a little hard to find if you're not familiar with the LES

Rad place to dance and have a good time Went here for the first time last night, and this place is awesome!!! It's kinda small and narrow, but it was low-key and the dj was playing great danceable non-crappy (think 80's, motown, pop, weezer, etc) music. My friends and I must have danced for three hours straight. Drinks were inexpensive, and the bartenders and owner were super nice to my friends and I, supplying us with free shots till after closing and humoring our overly drunk/half passed out friend. Definitely the kind of ... read more
