THE SKINnY

Great for parties, cheap drinks and local art lure the neighbors. . .

  • Dj's everynight.
  • Happy Hour everyday 5pm-9pm
  • Late night drink specials.

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.

Editorial Review for THE SKINnY – by Erin Behan

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.

I threw my boyfriend a birthday party here. Everyone was so helpful at getting things set up. The bar really gets crowded after 11:30. The music was great and everyone had fun.

Pros: Friendly staff, great music

Cons: a little hard to find if you're not familiar with the LES

Went here for the first time last night, and this place is awesome!!! It's kinda small and narrow, but it was low-key and the dj was playing great danceable non-crappy (think 80's, motown, pop, weezer, etc) music. My friends and I must have danced for three hours straight. Drinks were inexpensive, and the bartenders and owner were super nice to my friends and I, supplying us with free shots till after closing and humoring our overly drunk/half passed out friend. Definitely the kind of place you'd want to go to regularly. Thanks for making my night!

Pros: Friendly service, great music

Cons: Crowded
