This place is a little hidden but once you find it, it'll be worth it. My girlfriend and I checked this place out on a Saturday night, it started off fairly quiet, but got packed within an hour or so.
This place has two levels, although the upstairs was closed. There's plenty of space to lounge around. Did I mention there's a full bar w/ high top chairs/stools? Full bar? OMG, YES, I can get my Pinot Grigio fix!
Would I return? Absolutely. I Found a new spot to pregame and lounge around before the night gets real haha…
Shout out to the Dj cause his playlist is off the charts!
*only been here for Sunday brunch
Came here for a friend's brunch. They had been raving about the unlimited mimosa options
When I arrived, I immediately thought- where the heck are whey serving or cooking food at? I meant this is a bar-bar with beer pong tables and all. Not exactly fine dining.
However, I even learned that try had taken a reservation for our large group of approximately 10 people (unexpected at a bar). The mimosas were a bit over iced. Uhmmm actually can we skip the ice? The thought of that in mimosa kinda grosses me out.
Nonetheless, they also offer a screwdriver option (I really like when establishments do that- they call it Sunday fun day for a reason) and they didn't skimp on refills. #winning
The food arrive a bit in phases, but I imagine that they have a small kitchen and cooking for 10 at once is not an easy feat.
Onto the food. I really like my meal. I basically had a breakfast sandwich. So good…except the bun/toast was really burnt and I knew a request for new bread may not go so well. I was already the last of the bunch to get my food.
In summary, good easy, reasonably priced brunch option that allows you to transition into the beer pong champion that lives inside of you once you finish up brunch.
Would I go again- sure! Would I go too far out of my way for it- possibly not.
The entrance is not very noticeable other than the bouncer standing outside the door. Once inside the atmosphere is comfortable, the service is friendly and dances and jokes with others and costumers. Not your fanciest bar, but definitely fun.
I went there at 10pm on a Friday night and the place was just starting to fill up, DJ started playing and more and more people started showing up.
Tip: if you're hungry through out your night out, stop here, they have $6 Delicious Burger and Crispy Fries, how can you resist! Cocktails are $12 but food is super cheap and good!
*also every table has plugs to charge up!
We had a living social deal, boozy brunch for two (4 drinks, 1 entree each) for $30. It was GREAT. I had the grilled shrimp eggs Benedict with Hollandaise sauce. It also came with spicy seasoned potatoes and salad. Excellent portion, the place is a little empty around noon-1 but starts to fill in after that. There are lots of tv's, high bar stools/tables, and a sofa/table area. Our waiter Jared was very kind and attentive. I'm glad after asking for the bill that they didn't charge us a bunch of junk after the living social deal since we stuck to the deal. Sometimes places still charge $$ after the deal, so the deal is to get you in the door – glad Skinny Bar & Lounge didn't! Oh also, the drinks were decent, not too strong (or much at all) but they were decent for the price they were.
Would definitely recommend, even without the deal – the grilled shrimp Benedict & potatoes were pretty good 🙂
Grimey, empty, and worst of all… A ratchet rude bartendress who made the worst lemon drop shots!
No sign outside so it was hard to even know this place existed. We had just left a show nearby and was looking for a bar nearby. I happened to see people walking in here and had to ask the bouncer for the address and name of the place so I could tell other friends that were meeting me there.
Pretty large place for the LES. I snagged an empty table in the back of the room where it was less crowded at the time we arrived (it did get packed later in the night). The music was great. The waitress was very attentive and was constantly coming to our table to ask if we needed more drinks. Mixed crowd (not too young or too old). I danced all night and had an awesome time!
I came here for brunch today. My friend got a deal for the Skinny: $29 bottomless brunch for two (includes 2 entrees and 4 drinks each). We arrived when it opened, but they clearly weren't ready to have us. They were still working on setting up the bar and menus. No one came up to greet us when we walked in, we had to ask to be seated. It took them about 10 minutes to get us a menu. We're already off to a bad start.
I ended up getting the Classic Eggs Benedict. They were pretty good. This was the first time I've had eggs benedict, so I don't have much to compare to, but I really enjoyed the dish. The classic also includes ham, just in case you don't eat meat. I had their mimosas, which were pretty good as well. They weren't too strong, but I only had about 2.
Overall, it was good. If they had better service, this would easily be 4 stars.
Went on a livingsocial deal which brought the already fair price of $25 dollars for 4 drinks and a brunch entree down to 15 per person (so 30 total). Burger was very good, fries were decent, drinks were strong. I have to dock them for a RIDICULOUSLY long wait for such a simple meal. We waited no exaggeration 1 hour from the time we ordered until the burgers arrived. The host/waiter was apologetic so I feel bad even mentioning it but if not for the drinks I would have been very upset. The place was not overly crowded to the point it should take an hour 2 get 2 burgers. I'd still recommend it given the deal.
