I absolutely cannot get service here.. The first time I went to Skinflint's, they told me I would be seated in "a few minutes" then left me standing in the bar until I almost literally passed out from hunger. The second time they seated me promptly, then completely ignored me. No one even offered to bring me a drink. I felt a black woman trying to eat at a white restaurant in 1950s Georgia.

There will be no third time. Far too many good restaurants in NYC to waste my time a place that treat its customers poorly.

Cozy comfort. When dining here, you forget you're in a "pub." It is comfortable and dark. Great menu. sandwiches, ribs, appetizers, chicken potpie all delicious. The only thing on the menu I didn't like was the French onion soup. It has a lighter broth and just wasn't what Im used to. Anyway, overall great place and they have a lovely outdoor dining area with a fountain as well. Service can be a little slow on the weekends.

This is one of the best places in Bay Ridge.. The food is awesome in a comfort food kinda way. From the creamy to die for mashed potatoes to the amazing spare ribs to the entrees which are never too complicated but always hearty. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff are fun and friendly. The crowd is always diverse and the music is usually good. Its the kind of place a single girl can hang out without feeling vulnerable! Check it out!

Good food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere.... I have been going to Skinflints for over 15 years.. Staff is great, friendly and makes you feel very welcome. Very good burgers and ribs as well as everything on the menu. They also have a great Sunday brunch.

A must go and check it out ...Highly recommended..

Friendly, cozy, good food, reasonable prices. Skinflints has been a successful bar/ restaurant for 30+ years, so that alone should tell you that it is a place worth trying. The staff are friendly and attentive, the decor is quaint, the food is just plain good and reasonably priced. There is nothing fancy about Skinflints, it is simply a cozy establishment with a wonderful atmosphere. Having been a patron there since it's opening, I highly recommend it to all.
