Best

I was looking for the perfect place to hold a low key/stress-free 25th birthday party and read amazing reviews about the SKINny. This place was incredible! I called a few weeks ...

Worst

I went there to have my birthday. I spoke to a party rep repeatedly and let her know how many people would be there, and there really wasn't enough space, thankfully people came l...

What a Crowd! 11/16/2006

Great place to hang with a crowd. Kinda hard to keep more than two people together due to lack of space. Bar service was pretty good considering size of crowd. Absolutely worth checking out. Pros: Crowd; music Cons: Lack of space to move. more

Cheap, non-pretentious, great time. 11/5/2006

If you're looking for a non-pretentious spot to have cheap drinks and talk it up with your friends, this place is it. It's not even that hard to get a nice spot in the back on one of their couches, or head upstairs for some pool. The bar area is kind of narrow but if you've ever gone out anywhere in this area you know how to navigate that. There's even some old school arcade games to go with your PBR or cheap well drink. Seems to be a good place to meet other single people. Music is pretty cool, different every time I go there, and they have real DJ's that spin vinyl up above the bar. The night I went, they were playing some cool old-school hip hop that kept the energy up. Highly recommended. Pros: Unpretentious staff. Cheap drinks. Good tunes. Cons: Can get pretty packed late on weekends. more

beyond my expectations! 3/26/2006

These folks are by far the friendliest bar staff you will ever meet. I hosted my 25th birthday party here over the weekend, and Sean was sure to take care of all of our needs. We had our own space in the back, and my only complaint is the location of the bathroom - the line to wait bisected my group. The music was awesome, the vibe energizing. And the open bar policy is unbeatable in Manhattan! Great drinks, great people, great night!! Pros: friendly, cheap, accommodating more

The Best Bar in Lower East Side area 2/19/2006

I've been to this place so many times, and have always had excellent experiences. The bartender is so cute (the blonde with blue eyes), the drink is dirt cheap, and the people there are really cool (not the bridge and tunnel kinda people). They play good music, from 80's to house music, not to mention that they have a cool very cheap jukebox (i think it's $1 for 5 songs). This is definitely the best deal in LES area, and you totally wanna be seen in this place. Oh yeah, one more thing, the bouncer is really cool and friendly. Pros: Drinks, Scene, Inexpensive Cons: Sound System, Moderate Size more

What a find! 12/4/2005

The dj's are great & fun, the bar & door staff are a dream, drinks are stiff & cheap, crowd is diverse & interesting and attitude clocks in at 'absolute zero'. Mid week here is very chill and laid back & you can't beat the 2-for-1 happy hour. Fri's apparently don't crowd up 'til late, which is great if you want the place all to yourself! But even w/a bachelorette party(?) going on, we still had PLENTY of room! Service here is wonderful and some of the coolest 'real' people. Moved out of NY 3 yrs. ago..this place alone would be a reason to move back home. The best of what the lower east should be. Pros: Awesome staff, Cheap drinks/no cover, Zero attitude Cons: Parking's challenging more
