It is a southern bar so don’t expect a fancy scenario! The music is at a level you don’t have to shout to be heard. They have this 24oz of beer for a very affordable price! You HAVE to try their signature coffee drink it amazing. And you should definitely stay for the live shows!

The best little country dive bar in Brooklyn. Loved the decor, antique beer memorabilia and cool graffiti covered bathrooms. Small dance floor but music/sound quality was good. Would definitely stop in again.

Wow, am I happy this is in my neighborhood. Cheap beer and really good live music. Sure, it's country stuff but good musicians trump a meh genre and the bands (sometimes 2 a day) are exceptional. A very, very fun place to have a beverage or 6.

Always a great time here. The prices are reasonable, the live music adds a fun vibe, and the frozen coffee is a staple that never disappoints. Mixed crowd of all ages. Definitely a go-to spot.

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.

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.

Typical dive bar with country music. Good place to start your night and have a drink while listening to band. Cocktail drinks were below average and overpriced I would recommend sticking to beer.

I honestly wanted to love this place. Inside, everything was awesome — the bartender was super friendly, the drinks were amazing (highly recommend the frozen coffee one!), the band was great, and the vibe was really fun and lively. But the night started off on a really sour note because of the bouncer. Instead of being welcoming, he was rude and condescending. I misheard him, and instead of just clarifying, he decided to shame me and even tried to “teach me how to interact with people.” Not exactly the kind of greeting you want when you’re walking into a bar to have a good time. Thankfully, the bartender and band turned things around and kept the night from being completely ruined. But honestly, the first person you meet at the door shouldn’t make you feel unwelcome. If it weren’t for how great the staff inside were, I probably would’ve left right away.

The place wasn’t that bad and the live music was good. The reason I give one star is because of the behavior of the staff and specifically the security at the door. The bouncer was very rude and after I went out for a phone call he asked me to pay a cover charge again. Apparently he forgot to check my ID when I entered the first time and he couldn’t find me in the list and I had to pay again due to his incompetence. And he was talking to me with the worst attitude. Never going back because I don’t want to be treated like a second class citizen by the security staff.

Home to the worst bartender in NY. You know the one: Long Hair, Thousand Yard Stare. My friends and I have been patrons of Skinny Dennis & Horses and Divorces for over 7 years, but that era must now come to an end because of this miserable miserable man. Here’s a quick laundry list of his infractions over the years: - charged me for drinks I never ordered - overcharged me for drinks I did order - smoked a cigarette outside H&D at peak hour for a good ten minutes, leaving the bar un attended as dozens of patrons waited to be served - typed away on his phone for 3 minutes as I stood there waiting for a drink Each time I go, I give this man a clean slate and he continues to impress me at how terrible and hostile he is at his job. I see him bark at other unsuspecting customers every time I’m here. I feel like he needs a hug. Here’s the thing. I love this bar when anyone besides him is working. The rest of the crew are stellar, so if you guys could just tell me which days this zombie works, I’ll remain a patron and show up the other days
