My recent visit to Skinny Dennis, located at the intersection of Metropolitan Avenue and Berry Street, was a memorable experience, capturing the essence of a quintessential underground bar. The ambiance of Skinny Dennis is intriguingly dark, creating an intimate and somewhat secretive atmosphere that sets it apart from your average bar. This shadowy setting contributes to its unique charm, making it a great spot for those who appreciate a more subdued and private environment for their evening outings. One of the convenient features of this bar is the availability of an ATM on-site. It's a thoughtful touch that adds to the ease of the experience, especially in a cash-preferred setting. The service at Skinny Dennis was notably good. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring that our needs were met promptly and with a smile. Their professionalism and warmth greatly enhanced our overall experience. Skinny Dennis strikes a balance between being a quiet spot to unwind and having a slightly messy, lived-in feel that adds character. This combination gives the bar a unique identity – it's neither too polished nor too rough around the edges, which I found particularly appealing. In conclusion, Skinny Dennis is a fantastic choice for those looking for a good underground bar with a dark, cozy ambiance and excellent service. It's a place that seems to capture the spirit of a hidden gem in the heart of the city.

Reminds me of a classic texas bar. Band was great and they even had lone star in bottles. Nice bartenders too. Can get crowded on weekends but not a bad thing.

Saved our New York experience. After a rough night in a bad hotel, we rolled into skinny d and found our time out. Best bar I’ve been to in the area if you’re looking for a bit of a dive but with that country oriented playlist that makes it feel so down-homely. 100% will return next opportunity.

I love this place specifically in two occasions: in the early evening, before it gets packed —the vibe is great, the beer is affordable, and the table and bar next to the window are cozy and nice. Also on Friday nights when the house band is playing —even if the crowd is a bit too much, the music is amazing and it's a guaranteed fun time.

Was staying in Williamsburg, stopped by twice. Great beer, great music, perfect atmosphere. Until next time, "Here's to you, old Skinny Dennis."

If you want to feel like in a different state, it is an interesting country bar with nice vibe and good prices of drinks. One star less because it smelled pretty badly inside.

I really liked Skinny Dennis - it is exactly what you expect it to be. The stools were comfy, and it was clear it was well cared for. We enjoyed the music and atmosphere of the place - it lived up to expectation.

Get a frozen coffee, it’s similar to the 1970’s cocktail, mudslide, but better. Warning though too many will put you on an express train to a blackout. 🚂🍹Skinny Dennis is a what a dive bar should be it’s lots of fun and the music is great. It gets really busy through the evening. There’s a shrine to Willie Nelson.
