The Skinny Bar and Lounge

I hosted my birthday party at the upper mezzanine floor and it was perfect. Crystal was incredibly helpful with preparing the space for the party and Jim was of great help with getting my DJ set up. Jess was a perfect bartender. everyone and everything was greatly accommodating, kind, and attentive to my party needs and requests. I would absolutely host another party with SkinnyBar!

Avoid this bar!!!! The bar manager here is horrible. He was very rude and aggressive. I am visiting New York from another country and when I asked for a drink he started screaming at me. I must have done something wrong which would never be my intention but his reaction made me extremely upset and ruined my night. Maybe he was having a bad day but I wouldn’t risk interacting with this individual again.

I hosted my birthday party for about 90 people at Skinny Bar, and it was a fantastic experience. Crystal was extremely helpful in reserving the bar and securing drink specials at no extra charge. We also made a last-minute request to rent the top floor, and Riley was great in making that possible. Thanks for the amazing time! Overall, I highly recommend Skinny Bar if youre looking to host!

My friend and I did a Pulsd deal for 2 entrees and 2 hours of brunch drinks. I got the chicken and waffles, she got the lox and eggs Benedict English muffin. Both were really fantastic. For unlimited drinks, each drink was pretty strong (we tried the spritzer, the mimosa, and the screwdriver). The staff were also really friendly, cool and attentive. Id definitely come back here. For a Saturday brunch, it was really relaxed.

Fun place but don’t charge me two different prices for the same Bud light just because you think I won’t notice

Sooooo dead when we went on a saturday night but nice bar!

Skinnys is definitely one of my favorite places to visit after a long stressful day at work or during the weekend. Great atmosphere, drinks and food. Have to give a big shout out to the staff , as they are always courteous , attentive and positive. My favorite bartender Pablo is always there to make my favorite drinks and put a smile on my face. The rest of the staff is amazing as well, they are always on top of things especially Pamela who is one of the best servers. Overall 5/5 stars, definitely recommended if you are by t LIC piers and are looking for a great Latin vibe with great food, drinks and staff.

Cool bar

Very nice bartenders. Food was good. Cobb Salad with Cajun chicken. Comedy show was dope and interesting. Blue frozen margarita wasn’t that good thou. Moved to regular margaritas after.

I had a great time singing karaoke on Monday. Nice dive bar in LES

I came in with my lady and we literally sat for 50 minutes no service , we got up to order at bar waited another 30 minutes so we got up and left , the service is horrible i would never recccomend anyone to cone here

Not gonna lie wasnt expecting much on a Sunday afternoon. Dope place with amazing staff (Maddison 🙌) and music play list!

Not because my friend Jim owns it but Ive been a regular at the bar since 2005 and its just the neighborhood spot. Now they have more food at the bar, good wings but as of 2 weeks legit one of the best chicken parm sandwiches Ive had in the city.

Great crowd, great vibe and thank you for that beautiful person who gave me an spontaneous and sweet kiss on my cheeks, you made my night complete!!!

Down to earth bar. Generally the kind of place groups go to before/after something, so the crowds come in waves, but weekends can be pretty lively. They went above and beyond with their Christmas decor, which could explain why its still up in the middle of January, but the lights are no less magical.

Big fan of this bar! There’s good bar food and excellent service. Arrive earlier in the night for chill vibes and later for a DJ & dancing. They have events too like trivia, comedy nights, and one time they had fighting games set up. Pretty cool they are always trying something new. Will be back!

One of the Best Bars on the Lower Eastside.. Great drink, Great Service..

Ok, I was here on a Saturday night. And for the place being jam packed. Everything seemed to be in order. The drinks were strong as hell. The bartenders were so sweet. Security was patient and amazing with checking in. My only complaint is the bathroom sucks lmao. But I’m deff digging this spot as a new weekend turn up.Also they have the cutest cups for the drinks and the wings were fire!!!!! Thank you Skinny! I’ll be back.

Witnessed a truly unfortunate incident this weekend. Saw bar security staff accost a patron trying to use the ladies restroom. This persons party was trying to defend their friend, but were not being listened to, and ultimately decided to leave. I felt so bad for the beautiful young lady - and what a misguided look for this bar. Ironic, seeing their Pride events advertised everywhere. Do better.

Majorly underrated bar. It’s never as crowded as some of the other cool bars in the area and they have rad decor, reasonably priced drinks and lots of seating. The burlesque show upstairs is pretty fun too. Always a great time at The Skinny!

Went here on a Friday night with a few friends. The place was packed with men who would not leave us alone. They were like piranhas. It was annoying when all we wanted to do was have a few drinks and dance. Bouncers did not care about these predatory men who went from one woman to the next. They are too busy watching the bathrooms hoping to catch people doing drugs than watching the floor to make sure women aren’t being harassed.

The espresso martini was disgusting. Not even sure what it was. Dive bar. The Christmas decor was nice.

Good drinks, food music and vibe. Definitely going there again 😁

I found this place on pulsd and thats how I tried them but service was horrible we had to get up like ten times to place our orders at the bar... no one greeted us when we walked in. I had the chopped cheese with fries not good fries tasted old and burnt mean while the bartender lady was eating behind the bar fresh fries and wings.... my friend had the fried chicken sandwich with fries and her fries were also burnt and her chicken was overcooked and dried and they still thought they deserved the right to charge a 20% gratuity for horrible food and service. I originally went there because my friend said they were good. The manager looks like he drinks all day. When the bartender brought us the food she didnt ask if we wanted ketchup or bbq sauce for our food, she gave us no utensils and no napkins we had to get up every single time and walk to the bar to constantly ask for all of this..when she brought us our drinks before the food she said to us that the napkins and straws are at the bar and to grab it ourselves if we need it... never again.... but my drinks were nice and if I would ever go back it would be for a quick drink only because my drinks did taste good. Whats even more said about this horrible service and food we were the only people sitting at a table the rest of the 4 people in there were sitting at the bar and there was no vibe..

A delightful time at a party upstairs - which I understand you can reserve - and equally enjoyable time downstairs at the bar. It was loud but NOT outrageous (you could stills speak - but I would lower volume just a hair). It was festively done out. Near enough a subway. Well, heck! Nice place to go.

Great Food and drinks. Friendly Staff. Clean Facilities. Very spacious. Amazing music by Dj.Pumpkin. 2 floors with booth seating.

I hosted my birthday party here and it was literally the best night EVER! Crystal was so easy to work with and was able to give us recommendations on which space/drink options would be best for your group. The bouncers, bar staff, DJ, honestly everyone at the venue was so incredible!! I would 100% do it again!

This place looks awesome after remodeling! As always, great spot to stop by and grab a couple drinks after work or for a night out. Great beer selection as well as convenient American food to snack on.

I forgot the bartenders name, but it was slightly tall bald white guy. (Stay away from the female bartenders, they don’t know what they’re doing) Tipped that dude $20 and he gave me a drink and a shot for no charge. Offered more, but don’t want to throw up in this establishment. Great time Friday nights

Stopped by for kareoke Mondays, and it was a cool shootout it was near closing. I like the app used to request the songs.

We got dress coded at this bummy bar like we’re in elementary school. Nowhere on their website does it say anything about a dress code, which made it seem a bit racist since my group is mostly asian but it is what it is. Better bars exist.

Beware of scammers!!! I was here with a few of my coworkers tonight and we ordered and paid for a round of drinks (hard seltzers and shots). As the night continued on, the topic of the bill came up, and we collectively realized that our bartender had vastly overcharged us for our drinks. What must have happened is that the gratuity was added automatically and we didn’t realize, so we tipped additionally on top of that (resulting in an almost 50% gratuity). When we asked for an itemized receipt, the bartender was extremely rude and refused to give it to us, nearly throwing a marker in our faces as she crossed things off of our check. I felt totally disrespected and I would never consider going back to this place. If you place any value in your own dignity I encourage you to never go to this bar. You will be sorely disappointed. If I could give negative stars I would.

So happy to see this party utopia is back up and running.. Great hosts and awesome memories.. Looking forward to seeing you soon..

My friend and I went here after Pianos to continue his birthday celebration and seemed like a good spot. Good music, good crowd, but it was a long day after work so my friend decided to put his head down for a few seconds while we were drinking at the bar. All of a sudden security approached us and decided to kick my friend out because the manager or owner name Jim thought he was too drunk. I tried to explain my friend was just tired, but it got to the point where we started arguing because of his assumption so I refused to leave until I got a actual explanation, but Jim the owner decided to take my beer away and gave me $10 and decided to kick me out as well. The fact that he didn’t ask if my friend was okay or ask if he was doing well instead of sending his security team to surround us as if we were problematic was absolutely absurd. Jim (owner/manager) is trash.

Came here on a Pulsd deal for Brunch. This place is probably fine as just a bar, but my experience was sub-par. They do not honor the terms of the voucher, and no one came to my table to check on me and my group the entire time, despite it being almost completely empty. They also added on an auto gratuity despite receiving zero service whatsoever. Fine as a dive bar, I guess, but don’t come here for the food. Misleading advertising.

Went here for a brunch deal from pulsd. Was surprised at how good the food was at a dive bar. The only reason Im giving 3 stars for service is that, there was only one person working the floor and bar area.

This is my new local happy hour place (I would like to try brunch here but the grade has been pending since February). But the happy hour deals will make you want to come back always. $4 drinks on most days, 25cent wings, $15 pitchers on the weekend, half priced drinks. You seriously cant go wrong.

Came here on a Monday around 5. Their beers are 8$ on tap and drinks around 12-13$This place is a nice spot to come with a friend and have a drink.. if you’re needing bites they serve finger food such as corn dog, wings, chicken strips and fries etc..I ordered their chicken tacos and fries,Their tacos are somewhat bland they need just a tad bit more seasoning on the chicken and they would taste super good !Fries were skinny and good with Cajun seasoning..If they had happy hour I would come back!

I came in on nye at 7pm, I asked for a drink and food menu and the bartender said there isn’t either

This place could use some thorough disenfecting and cleaning. On the way to the bathroom there was garbage stacked up against the wall. Flies inside could be due to the garbage or the front door being left open. I went on a Saturday around 7pm and it wasnt crowded. Inside of the ladies room one of the stalls is missing a lock. I had a burger which was just ok the fries tasted like they were cooked in stale oil.

Sometimes the door guys are annoying and create problems via dress code for no reason. Be ready to be turned away even tho youre appropriately dressed for this bar(not a club). Other than that, its iight nothing special but the upstairs VIP area

Bar was nice but had a terrible experience with our server. Sat at our outdoor table for 20 minutes without service, finally asked the host if we could place an order at the bar ( which we couldn’t because of covid laws/restriction) just so we could get a drink and he told us we had to wait for a server. I expressed to the gentleman that we had been waiting a while and I wanted to be respectful to the staff/servers working tonight, however we were approaching 30 minutes without even an order. He was very kind and polite and said he would get my server to us. Within 10 minutes our server, a young blonde woman aggressive walked up and stated “ let me take your order since you guys made a complaint against me”. I’ve never in my life experienced that hostility with a server. She then bent over the table and took some orders, while looking over at my friend and I, stating “I can read lips and know what you’re saying, so what do you want”, in the most aggressive tone I’ve ever received from a server. I was shocked. I didn’t even giver her my order because I was so nervous she was going to spit in my drink considering her hostility. Overall this was my first time at this bar so it’s hard to give it such a low rating, however I can’t ignore how unprofessional the service was this evening. Hopefully if you end up here it’s on a better night with a better server.

Amazing spot the manager was super cool he had an amazing Playlist of hip hop music and modern stuff. The cocktails were just as great we had the Pitcher Mai Tai. The guy followed the social distancing guide lines. Tables and chairs outside were separated by plastic I love it here!

Great bar, music was nice as well. We had less than an hour to have a break in, before continuing on a road trip. Absolutely no regrets about spending it here. Lovely vibe, good cocktails, cool art.

I had a terrible experience here. My sister called in the morning to see if we need to set reservations for the bottomless brunch for 2 (They have a promotion of bottomless brunch for 2 @ $38 total) She was told no that’s not needed, all we need to do was get there by 3:30pm to get the full experience and we can order it when we walk in. We get there at 3:30pm as discussed and make it completely clear to the server that we’re here for the bottomless brunch 2 for 1 deal. We even asked if we can order two entrees just so we’re all on the same page and the server says yes so we make our order. At 5pm I ask for another round of drinks and the server says the time limit expired but I told her we arrived at 3:30pm and it’s only 5pm. The promo said for 2 hrs. She said it’s only for 90 min. I was willing to let it go because she had a nasty attitude and I didn’t want to be there anymore so I ask for the bill and I see we’re charged for 2 bottomless brunch so I bring it to her attention and she acts as if she doesn’t know what I’m talking about. Her manager comes through and we eventually settled it but it was completely unnecessary.Besides that I noticed we would sometimes go 10+ minutes without hearing from our server and if we tried to get her attention she would snap back with “I’m busy”.

Great place, a little busy but thats a good thing right? Friendly staff! The door guy was very polite, helped us with a food recommendation as we were leaving and was extremely professional compared to other security at places Ive been. THANKS TO ALL THE STAFF!

Originally I was going to give this place 3 stars but there was a turn around once another server came on shift so then service really kicked up a notch. The decor is...interesting to put it simply. What really saved the day besides the Bottomless Brunch option on Pulsd was Ivan (pronounced E-von) He was a breath of fresh air, kept the drinks coming and accommodated my pescetarian needs. He was very understanding and in such short interactions he was able to tell us a little about himself.The food was decent - not mind blowing - but definitely decent and who goes to a bottomless brunch for the food anyways? The drinks were pretty strong. I personally enjoyed it.

My rating is based on an evening on Saturday night... It was a very young crowd, I would say 21-25. Some kid punched my hip dancing behind me lol. He was dangerous! Hahahaha. The bar was very crowded and hard to get a drink and not an ample choice of popular beer. They did have a great tequila special. It was a very mixed crowd. The music was good, mostly Hip Hop. It just wasnt my cup of tea.

I went in for brunch the mimosas were really good but my food took over an hour to make the place wasnt even crowded. I ordered the steak and eggs and when i finally received the food was cold ugh!! They waitress wasnt even there on time when me and my friend arrived so we where clueless for a minute or 2 on where to sit down. The waitress was nice they just need to cook the food a little faster. But i wouldnt recommend this place for food just drinks!

Absolutely great bar! I love the atmosphere, and the DJ for karaoke night was fair and inviting 👍

The Kj & Bartenders were very good however I wish the sound quality for their Karaoke was better.My friends and I had fun visiting though

Used a PULSD voucher with some friends to get dinner. The vegetarian options were poorly lacking - they were out of a few menu items and so we settled on some tacos and burritos. I hate to say it but they were actually atrocious, just filled with mushrooms - I was very hungry and couldnt stand to take more than a couple of bites. Not to mention the whole situation was a bit confusing because the voucher said enjoy any cocktail on the menu up to $13, which is how much the cocktails cost. However, they told us we could only have well drinks, not the cocktails we were looking forward to. Would not recommend the food here but the drinks were fine.

The Skinny Bar and Lounge is a casual, art-filled space with funky, over-the-top holiday lights hung throughout the bar year round. I especially love that the Skinny is not only a bar, but has weekly food specials and entertainment on different nights off the week. I loved their $2 Taco Tuesday special and $8 margaritas. Check out @theskinnybar on Instagram for weekly specials like fifty cent wings and $10 sandwiches on Friday!

Worst experience of my life. The bouncer was patting me down but something felt off. He started rubbing my groin aggressively. I told him to stop but he continued. Only when he saw other people on the line staring he stopped but after all that he still didnt let me in. I felt violated and unsafe. If this isnt handled internally i will file charges against this establishment.

Monday game night and karaoke is amazing!!! Fridays are a vibe

Was at a private party here. Took too long for staff to remove people who were not invited- probably would have resulted in a brawl had not someone got a bouncer. Probably wouldnt ever go here based on the crowd which is like soccer/foreign/disrespectful men.

Jerom made our night! He made our drinks worth the money and was super friendly and kind! It was our first stop on our ladies night out and a great choice for the first stop to set the tone for the night!

Organized my birthday party there and had a blast. The staff was very responsive, and it was very easy to make the arrangements in a timely manner. Recommending this spot to all my friends

I got my wallet stollen here and they couldn’t care less I’m seriously distraughtUpdate: I see the owners reply but it wont let me send a reply so Im writing it here. It was late Saturday night. I understand it might be difficult to locate a person since I didnt see it happen, but Im sure there are cameras and no employees I told did anything to help find it while the thief couldve still been there, so of course its gone forever. This should be taken more seriously since some people have precious items in wallets that cant be replaced

Amazing time here great place to have fun with friends and have a few drinks

Great scene! Love the people, Angel is an above and beyond bartender! I adore Mariela and Ivan is mad chill! If you havent been stop by!

The staff is friendly, music is usually good but ladies watch your purses! The last party i went to 4 bags got stolen including my friends. We later found out that this was a known fact about the place. Eyes open!

Came across this little neighborhood staple on a date night with my honey. After bar hopping, we ending up at.....The Skinny Bar for frose and 25 cent wings (conveniently when I ordered the frose , it wasnt available but another girl, it was available) but I can say, there was a pretty awesome promo to make up for the minor discrepancy; free shot with purchase of a drink. We sat at the bar, and were assisted by the gentleman with the really cool high top no so faded.. he took our drink orders (two margaritas and two orders of wings). He even went above and beyond and gave us extra shots in our drinks. Not sure if the wings were as slamming as I thought (since I was pretty much drunk by then) but they definitely hit a spot. I would definitely swing back around with some girlies next time.

Bartenders are very nice, great vibe. But, the bouncers are aggressive and will act confrontational when there is no major issue.

I went here a couple of times. Last time I was waiting for wings for quite a while and so was the other person. Im told that I paid 25 cents for them. Yes but I am also waiting and paid for the draft beer full price. Really poor customer service. Should have said that he will check on it. I could have cooked these wings myself by now.

The best bloody Mary ever! Also great food at reasonable prices. I had Shrimp Benedict with a generous serving of home fries for brunch. A fantastic deal, $16 includes a drink (bloody Mary, Mimosa or Screwdriver ).

Awesome Sundays with polish bella and mega mami Megan, the best bartenders ever, great cocktails trust me you wont regret it

Had a bodypainting day event and went here for our afterparty. Everyone was mostlt naked but the owner/manager had a real problem with the guys being mostly naked. But was fine with the ladies.... for a bar in the Village i would say that is a bad attitude to have towards men.. it was all art...

Skinny is a local dive bar. It needs an upgrade. Seats ate ripped and bat is a bit smelly. The drinks are either watered down or over poured depending on which person is serving you. The food is not recommended at all. Sorry, fried several times and felt ill the next day.

Bartender tried to short change me. When I brought to her attention, no more than 30 seconds later, she pretended like she had no clue or idea what I ordered, how much the cost was or how much change I should have gotten back.Count your change, pay via credit card or dont even go to this bar.NOT COOL

Great DJ and loved the art on the wall. Bartenders werent the friendliest but everyone has an off night. Place is still great. Definitely would go again.

Good food and drinks. Small and intimate but packs a punch. Bound to get busy quick.

Walked into this place a few nights ago and new we were in for a good time we love the skinny but this night was one of the best nights ... such a great staff Natalia had us laughing all night long if you want to feel like a local in nyc go to the skinny a hidden gem espically in the Les which can feel so intimidating

TONY THE BARTENDER WAS AMAZING, PROMPT, ATTENTIVE AND SUPER FRIENDLY. I CAME IN FROM UPSTATE AND HAD A BLAST. AFTER A FEW SHOTS I WAS SUPER THIRSTY & IF IT WASNT FOR TONY THE EMS WOULD OF NEEDED A FEW SHOTS THEMSELVES! ASK FOR TONY & DONT FORGET ABOUT KAREOKE MONDAYS!!

Would not recommend. Saw this place on tiktok. The bartender Ivan clearly hates his job which he mentioned to his other bartender in crime, and he wouldn’t know customer service if it came up and slapped him. Food was subpar and the drinks were weak.

The mimosa brunch was fantastic, although the staff was not top notch and I would even say a bit unfriendly. The food and drinks per se were great - I would definitely recommend this place for a brunch with friends.

False advertisement went yesterday Sunday because the said it was Latin sundays... they were playing techno!! The only advantage of this place was The chicken wings spicy and sweet and a lot of varieties of beer.

We went there on a Groupon voucher, food was great, even though the place appeared to be small and dingy. Prices are reasonable

Great bar next to VR Arcade! Moms were happy shopping in SoHo, Kids were happy in VR Arcade, dads were very happy here. Our bartender Evonne was awesome and learned a thing or 2 about Old Crow! Just ask him. Caw! Caw! Caw!

The food is great. Waitress was wonderful. The only thing I would say is. If its crowded be patient about your food it was only one chef when we went on Sunday but it definitely worth the wait

Bouncers are rude and they add a lot of fees if you pay by card. And that’s not counting the tip. Too many other good spots nearby so I won’t come back to this place.

We did a meetup event here after they remodeled and reopened. Large open space so its great for large parties. Good selection of beer on draft. Nice HH and good burgers.

Vibe was pretty relaxed and energizing. Drinks were quite good, but a little weak. Overall l enjoyed it though. Glad I found this place!

Cool fun spot on a Sat night celebrating gf bday. Have some cocktails and take some selfies on the upper floor. Nice long bar/stools and couple of table service seatings on the side. When ur ready to play, head down stairs to dance away to some cool beats. They have water jugs to help quench ur thirst. Fun crowds. *Remember to bring 10bucks for the door.

My friend had her wallet stolen here and then ran into another person who’s wallet was stolen the week before at Skinny too. Apparently this is a really common thing about this place so watch out (even if you don’t have your wallet stolen, this bar will steal your money with their absurd prices too)

Great vibe, nice crowd, friendly staff and owners who really care about their customers. My favorite bar in the city. Check out the great art while you chill!

I came on a Tuesday night floor wings and was told I had to pay $5 to attend a comedy show. After Id walked from one side of LES to another this isnt what I wanted to hear. Youre missing out on money.

I was harassed by their bouncer who tried to take my drivers license claiming it was fake. He only gave it back to me after I pulled out my phone threatened to call the police on him. After I walked in, realizing he messed up and I was pissed he tried to play it off as a joke.If the owner of this place is reading this, this was the bouncer who was there Saturday 8/19 working the 10:00 shift

I love this place. Covid can stop locals who need an escape from the lockup that has become our apartments. Great staff, patrons & affordable drinks!

Worst wings i ever tasted Got the buffalo wings they were way over cooked taste like wood horrible i would never recommend anyone Trying them

Used to come here many years ago when it was half the size, before it doubled in width and was less skinny. My friends and I enjoyed the long island iced teas

OMG!!!!!! Jared was the Absolute best he was the waiter/bartender.. 🔥🔥🔥🔥The Waffles and the French Toast deliciousssssss!!!!!!!!! The Bacon was like the cherry on top.. Truly Awesome Brunch and the DJ.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥...

Cute outdoor dinning, safe environment, super friendly staff, quick service, always great energy, good vibe. One of my fav watering holes in LES!

Don’t ever go to this bar! First of all it’s super dirty. Secondly I had a horrible experience where I left my debit card at the bar and when I called the worker confirmed they have my card. I had advised them I will be coming back for it and next thing you know my card was charged $500. I called the bar and requested to speak with the owner. The owner called me saying some group of guys might have taken the credit card holder. But he had to check the surveillance footage and will get back to me the next day. The owner never called me or picked up my calls. Be careful as the workers or owner scan peoples debits cards if you leave it there

I went when they redressed the entire place in Christmas decor, and rebranded the place as Jingle Hells. It was very crowded with a line to get in. All the beers were $7, even thhe Budweiser and pbr!

Love that this has turned into a holiday pop up bar with great drinks! The happy hour is a great deal.. was only confused about the lack of people in there!

There were people doing coke in the middle of the bar… my jacket also got stolen and i paid 45 dollars for 2 vodka red bulls ☺️

Love this spot not pretentious best DJs on Orchard St mix of Old & New Hip Hop R& B Rock n Roll Top 40 and the line is fast

Fun!

2 level bar with extensive holiday decorations.

Great time

Extremely fun cocktail lounge with an amazing selection of inventive drinks. Super fun staff and yummy food. Fun games to be had Santa too.

This bar is very uneven. Depending on the ever-revolving door of bartenders and the DJs that they hire sometimes, it can be a very fun time or a total dud.

This place is rough around the edges, but the music was dope and the staff is lovely.

If youre looking for a bar with really good food and drinks.... did I mention really good food? This is the place. I recommend the chicken fingers.

Cool bar, but tooooo pricey

Waitress was great , drinks on the menu were not available and the comedians needed more work....

Disgusting place, watered down drinks, filled with people to the brim. No class in this place whatsoever, just some teens doing tequila shots.

Super fun experience during the Christmas season.

Good priced brunch and drinks but kinda grungy and overly busy

Verbally and physically abusive bouncer. Very disappointed because bar itself is a solid & a good time.

It was a bizarre experience.I left a 3 star review because of the way barwoman started questioning number of drinks I am ordering (me and my girlfriend bough open bar tickets and I ordered two drinks).After that hey somehow saw my review and one of the barmen became really aggressive and told me he won’t be serving me any drinks.I can not recommend this place.

Chill environment, good music, friendly staff, great specials. I would definitely come back!

Bathrooms Are Disgusting! Food Is Good! Brunch Time Is A Good Time To Go. Again The Bathrooms Are Disgusting!!!

A+ staff. Cold drinks. Great location. Corn dog is amazing.

Music and drink specials were great. Decorations made it feel like Christmas for a small gathering we had. Service was friendly. Food was solid for bar food.

Lots of room. Went for an anti-holiday event. Drinks are good, thoughit can get busy.

Rude bartender, horrible drinks

Riley is the best bartender! Had the best time, must stop in for a drink or two.

Love the wings and the staff is always friendly. Great place to chill and relax

Skinny burger: best burger in the world! Staff are great, beers is great, what more do you want

Good food better music fun place to go on the weekends

Not a fan… we were trying bars in the city in our first night in the area and ended up here.Was patted down quite intensely by the bouncer. And then got inside. Once inside I understood why. The place had quite a rough vibe.I can’t really explain any further but the other customers were quite rude… left quite promptly…

Was there for their weekend brunch. Try their classic Benedict eggs, they are pretty good!

Need more alcohol in there drinks but its a fun place to chill..

Long island was expensive and olives were dry but I liked the atmosphere very chill

$20 shots, gross drinks, rude bouncer and disgusting bathrooms. Never again.

This is my home away from home. Ive only been coming here for a 1yr 1/2 and I love the place. Everyone is great! They have become my Familia!!! Definitely A1

My girlfriend was humiliated by security at The Skinny Bar last night because she is trans. A security guard followed her into the “women’s” bathroom and reprimanded her for being there. Afterwords he came for her again when telling her she was not allowed to wait for her friends outside the bathroom. She was trying to have a well deserved night out with her friends and came home in tears. Unbelievable this is still going on in New York City. Do not visit this bar if you are a supporter of the trans community. Tell your friends.

Loveeee jimbooo. music, dj, music, and private events top!!!

You can go during the week and still have fun and crazy times!!!

Doing my best to impress my future gf but this spot was the worse service ever. We came in at 2am hoping to get drinks. Waited 15 to 20 mins. I tried my best to signal the female bartender and she spotted us but walked away. After 20 mins waiting she finally came. We finally got frozen drinks but then it was too frozen. I had to ask for water to water it out. My girl wrote a note saying she disappointed at the service and gave it to the white female bartender. We ended up getting kicked by the gay black bartender or manager for stating facts..... Security service was way better than the bar service. Truly the worse. Only thing great is the music late nights , service sucks!!!!

The Skinny Bar posts on their Instagram about LGBTQ+ and hosts events for pride all for performance. My friend went to the skinny bar for a girls night out, and when attempting to use the restroom she was followed and kicked out because she is trans. If you are part of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally, do not go here. Oh, and they have flagged certain words so the review wont show. Found out after posting the original version of this review.

GO HERE ASAP. NOW AND GET A STARBURST/JOKLY RANCHER SHOP. ASAP

Late night drinks is impossible. 2 bartenders servicing a room of 30 or more. Bartenders are overworked. If you complain about waiting you might get kicked out. A black gay bartender was quite rude if asked questions... This place is for chilling after 1am nothing more past that. Service is Terrible

Bottomless brunch, great eggs benedict and grooving music! I will return.

The vibes were nice here but lady bartenders were very rude & making up their own prices for drinks. My friend and I ordered a drink, & I asked how much, she said “Um I don’t know, $25?”.. then when I told her we were paying separate, she said $11 each. Now I know I wasn’t that good at math in school but I know 11 + 11 = $22. So she was trying to swindle me for $3 extra. I noticed this & I gave her the 11. My other friend had ordered a drink at the bar and we were in a rush for an emergency. He was signing a bill that was overcharged when he just ordered one drink which was $36? Doesn’t make sense. He was in such a rush he didn’t even notice but I did. We didn’t have enough time to address the matter. Then the bartender had the nerve to say “& you’re not gonna tip me?” & the other bartender who helped me was like “yeah they didn’t tip me either” with a nasty attitude. I would’ve tipped if you all if you didn’t make up random prices & try to swindle me for more money. Plus I consulted the manager about the matter & instead of listening to me, he claimed his bartenders weren’t at fault & they didn’t know what we were talking about. So much for “customer comes first”.I would honestly say, hire new bartenders because this bar definitely lost a few customers with this terrible experience. I would rate 0 stars but there’s not an option available.

Great prices; love the pool table and trivia nights

Atmosphere was boring. Crowds made it hard to move around.

...this is the place you have to stop by if you are in Manhattan Lower Eastside New York City...ONLY FUN and JOY 🥰

Nice ratio, clean people. The bouncer seemed ready for the rougher crowd

Friendly staff reasonably priced healthy menu.

Est. 2004Food/drink*Food menu available

Brunch was great. The atmosphere was very relaxing.

Strong drinks good music what more do u need to know

I love stopping here on my trips to NY. Always friendly people.

Nice spot for Saturday brunch. DJ was cool.

Definitely my top bar/lounge Ive been too. It has two levels and both have bars on it. The bartender on the second floor was really nice. I keep going and going because of the ambient.

Omg the front man on the street is so mean avoid this place unless you want to be harassed

Was headed to the bathroom when I was attacked by 3 ebony gentleman before I could even get a word out I was escorted out by bouncer who was on their side Literally didn’t even get a word out felt very uncomfortable would not come back very ghetto

Amazing bartenders! Jess and Natalia are great, Friday and Saturday nights are the best 🙃

Rude bouncer never coming here again do not recommend.

Went on a Thursday night and was pretty packed. Dj played great tunes and a variety for everyone. The food and drinks were bomb ! They also had interactive games to win random prizes

Good for groups but not he best atmosphere

One of the great LES bars. Period

The room upstairs is a good location for private parties.

Decent spot.you can rent a private room as well

Absolutely awful bar, groupie at the bar is here every night acting absolutely awful.

Great Djs, Bar Food on Supreme, and Great staff.

Never go here the security guy is obsessed with starting trouble

Great service. We came in just to reminisce what this place used to be but the bartender was very friendly & welcoming.

Friendly . Energetic and kind drinking prices

Great food and drinks very affordable

The security was ungodly , the guy was so weird and rude for no reason

Good place for a Wednesday, other times its ok

The prices here are HIGHHH but make the best green tea shots EVER

Spent a few hours on a friday night in this bar/club while on a visit to NYC. Barkeepers were friendly and getting drinks was easy and fast. But there is one security guard (?) that looks a bit like Samuel L. Jackson (avoid him) who seems to have some kind of problem. This guy was constantly running back and forth between the washrooms and the bar with his flashlight, acting in an aggressive manner and harassing guests who did absolutely nothing besides enjoying themselfes. He also dragged my friend to the bar and randomly accused him of not having bought the beer he was drinking at Skinny Bar. Thankfully the barkeeper told him that my friend had in fact bought his beer at the bar. However the weirdest thing was, that this security guy stood in the door of the male washroom all the time and watched people go about their business in there. I get security checking the washrooms every now and then, but he was holding the door wide open for minutes, staring at male guests and exposing them to the views of all other guests in the bar. It was literally impossible to use the washroom and not get stared at by him.

Great spot ... drinks, food and sports on the screens.....

Love the vibe here. The bartenders are fun and make you feel at home. Karaoke on Monday’s!!!

Hospitality super star!!! Bottomless mimosas the size of my face!! Came in to watch football with my mother. As soon as we walked in they offered to put on our game for us. A few friends came to join us and they moved tables and chairs so that we could keep watching the game since there was not enough space at the bar. So nice and willing to bend over backwards for us. Had a great time!

Friendly service and the city’s best wing night.

Very nice place drink not water down

The worst- will never be back. Used 2 vouchers from puls’d for bottomless brunch and the waitress could not ever be found, we had to go find her all over the place to keep ordering drinks. Food was OK…service is beyond horrible check was all wrong and she tried to add 20% gratuity what a joke…this place should be embarrassed

What you expect in the lower east side. Was it divey, dirty, and crazy packed? Yes. Did my boyfriend accidentally put his arm in someones throw up at the bar? Yes. But there was a good vibe, dj seemed cool, music was on point, and we (and everyone else there) had a great time dancing.

Megan and Natasha are the best - great music, vibes, and fun

Small place not to crowded great music and the drinks was fabulous. Visiting from Tulsa Ok for my Nephews wedding. Had a blast loved NY

Went here on Halloween and left my license, they kept it for me!

If youre looking for another hipster spot in the lower east side then this spot is not for you!But if youre looking for a chill ethnic spot with a mixed crowd good drinks and a few locals from the neighborhood with hip-hop vibes DJs and no cover charge and good bar food then the skinnys is the perfect spot for you

Great music! Bring your dancing shoes.

Ive rented the upstairs area at the Skinny for my birthday the past 2 years, and its a been a hit each time. Everything is super easy to set up, and the staff is great (Djinn wins Bartender of the Year). Would highly recommend for anyone looking to get a big group together!

This is a serious question have you ever had to prepay before your meal? This place made us do that. Fairly odd. Don’t want to feel like it’s because we’re black but is this a regular thing here ?

Well, our waitress sat us, and offered us drinks. After bringing us WATER, she continues to slowly walk around the restaurant, doing almost every activity that will prevent her from serving us… including scratching one of the costumers backs at the bar. I made eye contact with her many times and she would look away every time. I wish I knew her name so i could write it but why would she have a name tag? Anyways probably the worst restaurant experience so we left since we could not get food:)

The food was GOOD. DRINKS from the BRUNCH was AMAZING. My one bad review was the BATHROOM. It was NASTY.

Cool bar, good drinks, fun vibe. Had a number of great times here with friends. Fun crowed.

This place is awesome. Cheap drinks and some of the most interesting decor to be found in NYC. Go for the scary Christmas theme and stay for the dancing.

Excelent experience!! Love the place, drinks are good. Food is very good too. Environment is very good.

Overall not a bad place to hang out, not a good place for a date! Good music, good drink selection, low prices. I ordered the steak sandwich and it wasn’t bad for the price. Minus 2 stars for the venue being a dive, ie a badly beaten unimproved wall when you walk in, an atm randomly in the middle of the bar, cheap furniture, and Halloween decorations thrown over Christmas ones they never got around to taking down.

This spot is a staple. Its what you make it. If you corny it will be corny. If you live it will be LIVE!

Nice spot, was at a gathering in the upstairs lounge area.Lee was the bartender that took care of me tonight and he was very friendly.

Nice layout, good tunes, good location. A solid spot. Our group was celebrating our friends engagement and had a blast here. Would stop here again

Great place! had a lot of fun. food is great and cocktail options are pretty expansive.

One of the last non bro bars left in the neighborhood. Lots of space, great tunes, reasonable priced drinks and food.

The bartender (believe her name was Anastasia) was very rude. Bad service and then they complain about their tip. Theres so many better places to go around the area. Avoid here if you dont want to be disappointed!

The servers were very rude and unfriendly. One guy asked about the amount of tips before serving a drink in a very agressive way. After a quick remark, he refused to serve me at all. Do not recommend and definitely not coming back.

Was a pretty fun dance bar with a mix of music just way to many people all the time, its hard to dance and a pain to get a drink. The bathrooms could be cleaner too. Still fun though lol

Awesome staff and happy hour specials

Amazing vibe, check out the upstairs lounge.

Their djs are pretty good!
