Woody honky-tonk saloon with live country music & boozy coffee
"Skinny Dennis is a honkey-tonk-themed dive bar, and it’s where you go to stand around and drink cheap beer with friends. They also have live music sometimes, so check the schedule if that’s what you’re looking for. Expect this place to be packed at peak hours, however, and take note of the little blue-and-white paper cups people are carrying around. These contain a slushy, boozy coffee beverage. Order one." - bryan kim, kenny yang, nikko duren, matt tervooren, will hartman
"If you’re looking for a classic dive bar with some live honky tonk, look no further than Skinny Dennis. Between their sweet tea bourbon, free(!) warm peanuts, and killer juke box, you’re bound to have a rockin’ good time." - Krrb
"Skinny Dennis is one of Williamsburg’s cheapest bars, best known for its frozen coffee ground drink served in a paper Greek coffee cup. Beers and well drinks are discounted at least a buck during a weekday happy hour from noon to 7 p.m. and on Tito’s Tuesdays, vodka shots cost $2 each." - Melissa McCart
"According to Google, a honky tonk is a “cheap or disreputable bar, club, or dance hall, typically where country music is played.” Yeah, that sounds like Skinny Dennis. This Williamsburg bar is cheap and disreputable in all the best ways. We suggest you lean on the bar, double fist some Lone Stars, and chat with a friend while you catch some country music with your peripheral hearing. Most nights there’s a band—just check the calendar to see what’s coming up." - neha talreja, kenny yang, nikko duren, molly fitzpatrick
"Even while Williamsburg rapidly evolves, Skinny Dennis always seems to stay the same, which is how the regulars like it. A holdover from the neighborhood’s punkier days, the unassuming honky tonk bar offers stiff drinks at the right price and is an energetic scene for country acts." - Paul Schrodt
