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 ...

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...

Everybody should know the SKINnY 4/22/2005

Cheap drinks, good music and a staff the treats you like you are at ""Cheers"". First off it is always nice to find cheap drinks downtown with out feeling like you ARE getting what you paid for. The service is some of the best I have ever had in NYC. The owners were there both times I have been and are always willing to sit down and chat with you. Sean who I talked to the longest is such a down to earth guy. You would never know that he is an owner of this up and coming hot spot. From the bartenders to the doorman everyone is so friendly. The music is cool as well. A hot oldschool mix keeps the crowd guessing. I can't say enough about Skinny. Go check it out!!!!!!!! Pros: Inexpensive, Fun Crowd, Very Friendly Cons: 2 toliets, small more

STILL the best 1/18/2005

I was one of the first people to hang out here at the Skinny when it first opened. ""Great music, Unpretentious"" was my initial review years ago. After some time of not frequenting the Skinny, I came back last night (Saturday) to find that nothing has changed except for more business.\r \r The music was EXCELLENT. After roaming through several bars in the LES and stopping in places like La Caverna and being disappointed by the crappy music all around, I decided to take my girlfriends, as a last stop, (we were having a bachelorette celebration) back to my old stand-by. As soon as the bouncer recognized me and let me past the door, I knew we were going to have a blast here. \r \r Poisen (the song, not the group-I know that's not how you spell the word, but citysearch thought the word was inappropriate so I had to alter the spelling to get it posted) was on and I ran back out to hurry the rest of my friends. We parked ourselves along the wall of the skinny part and danced the night away.\r \r There's still an owner there every night to keep things real and while I didn't recognize the bartenders, they were all wonderful. The outside bouncer came in to monitor the mezzanine party and stopped to ask if I was having fun yet. How sweet!!! I STILL LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! Pros: Great 80s, 90s, old school, Fun crowd, Close to subway/buses, GREAT staff! Cons: NONE!!! more

The Skinny right on!!! 1/6/2005

I heard about the skinny from my friends, and so I gave it a try thinking it was going to be this pretentious trendy spot. I was wrong It's the most comfortable chill spot in the Les. the prices were crazy low and Sharon was the coolest bartender in NYC. Definitely worth checking out. Highly recommended!!! Pros: ladies, music, prices more

Great time. 11/19/2004

Unlike most bars downtown, the barstaff here was extremely friendly and it's one of the few places that was open until 4am. The DJ was awesome. The atmosphere was great. Our drinks were cheap, but we didn't feel were in a dive bar. Highly recommend. Pros: Cheap drinks, Friendly barstaff, Great music more
