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.

Went to the Skinny with several of my friends recently for a few drinks and while it wasn't my favorite place, I can't say I had any major issues with it either. The staff was friendly and attentive at the front door and inside. The drinks were prepared well and at pretty good prices. It was a little quiet when we first got there but it got busier after midnight, with a decent crowd rolling in. It's pretty narrow inside and not the roomiest place (hence the name "The Skinny") but getting to the bar to order drinks wasn't an issue. Decor was certainly nothing to talk about either, but again no major issues with The Skinny.
Pros: Great prices, attentive staff
Cons: Lack of space, bathrooms need work, and overall decor. (No serious issues)

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
