What's Phat? How 'bout THE SKINnY? Downtown's newest bar/lounge incarnation. Towering 20'ceilings emphasize the sleak narrow bar + couch areas, illuminated by hovering space age lighting, allows patrons in the private mezzanine party room and the bar below to reflect on this establishments namesake as well as their normal perception of the proverbial "Happy Hour" as drink prices here define reasonable (aka The Cheap). Friendly and unpretentious barstaff will help make this the new destination night spot for locals + party goers alike. For Private parties call 212-228-3668 or visit…

In Short – 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 coming in at less than $5. – – Hits: Once you're on that balcony, the bar feels far, far away. – – Misses: Cocktails are served in plastic cups--which is either…

Whew.. Finally, a reason to go out on Sundays!

by White Leather

I just had to take a moment from my very hectic life to turn people on to my favorite spot on the LES called Skinnys Bar &

Lounge @ 174 Orchard st, Ny. I went there one Sunday night a few months ago and then, swear to God, had gotten my days off at work changed so I could become a regular there every Sunday!

The DJ's there are off the Motha **ucking Hook!!!

The DJ"s there are DJ Uncle Tone and Chilly B and what a mix they play!! The eclectic mix of various genres that they play is OFF THE CHAIN! They play everything from old school hip Hop, to classic rock to current favs and just when you think it can't get any better, your head is soon spinning cause it just won't stop! I have ceased to end up soaked in sweat from hard dancing every Sunday...... and it's not just me.... they get EVERYBODY on their

feet and despite the diverse mix of people there, their music seems to please everyone... and I do mean everyone!

They're so masterful at their craft that it's as though they're tag teaming your dancing soul. They're constantly playing songs you forgot existed and are grateful for the reunion. I have not missed one Sunday since the first time and have never had the same experience there twice. Always, always, always happy that I changed my work days to get my fix of this musical, dancing escape into my life.

I HIGHLY suggest you check it out for yourself and if after you go, you think that I lied or even exaggerated about anything I said, than I'll certainly be willing to buy you a fresh battery for your hearing aid!

  • Pros: DJ's are Masters of their Craft
  • Cons: Toxic Bathrooms

Fun Fact:

While you're waiting for you drink, look up at the wall beneath the DJ booth and see if you can identify the cult movie--classics like "16 Candles" play on loop all night on a large projector screen.
