The had another session after the one we attended because we saw people lined up as we were leaving. Please remember to bring the debit/ credit card you used to pay for the event. One of the staff was a bit adamant about seeing the card we used to pay even after we showed her our confirmation email and photo ID. The small and intimate sitting area was full. The staff are strict with seating arrangements to ensure everyone has a great view which is accommodating. You are allowed to BYOB. Now to the best part, the musicians. We enjoyed a hour and a half of pure bliss. The musicians were so talented and played from the heart and soul and you felt it. The music was low key to sit back and relax and then upbeat to do a little movement in your chair. lol. This is definitely a place to visit and enjoy some cool jazz in Brooklyn.

We arrived at…read morearound 6:10, set didn't start around 6:30 and the place became very very crowded as the performance continued, to the point where from our positions at the bar we could no longer see the performers. Drinks are okay, my friend did also order the Espresso Martini which she remarked was very heavy on the Espresso as a heads up! Notes: The food served at the neighboring Cafe is entirely vegan. There is a discount to the cover charge if you are a student. We saw a few people bring their kids, so if you plan to do so come early to grab a seat.

Everytime there is a different vibe, with a different theme and also different people, especially how the place is like a Jam session place for local artists so I would highly encourage you to follow their IG page so you can stay up-to-date with who is gonna performing and any other event. So if you thinking of a good place for a first date, Barbes will be the spot. Since if you get a mix of those drinks, great and energetic Musicians/staff/people. You will definitely feel warm and happy after your visit.

They have live music in the back room which is a cozy, tight space that pretty much ensures you'll make eye contact with the performers. I'm not sure if we just got lucky or if the talent is always that good but the two bands we saw were both so great in their own way. There's a great variety of genres and clientele. Finding seating in the main front area can be tough but there was plenty of seating in the music area and the back porch. This is the kind of place I want to become a regular at!

A truly great, chill spot for some solid drinks and vibes!…read more Just what we were looking for after having an expensive dinner nearby - a lowkey and chill dive bar with amazing aesthetics and a fun atmosphere! There's plenty of seating, and it feels very warm and cozy within. Ordering at the bar took a little while, but the bartender was very friendly and once I had the drinks, it was a great space to relax within. We had some of the ciders, which were a great flavor and taste. I also loved the decor behind the bar and also throughout the building. There's a yellow, comforting warmth throughout the space, something that I loved on a cold winter evening. If you want a chill space with excellent vibes and a warm atmosphere, Skinny Dennis is definitely the spot for you. I think they also have live music frequently - no one was performing while we were there, although I did notice someone beginning to set-up just as we were heading out. I highly recommend!

But apparently i missed writing a review. Maybe because there are many glowing reviews already. But may I put my 5 star review on the pile. This time we caught the 2pm Sunday open jam. We were smartly near the front of the line so we got my favorite spot, right on the bar rail near the stage. The drinks were good and strong, the service was quick and succinct. The jam was incredible. I didn't know all the guys but the guy on drums is a legend named muppet. He held back on his solos on the first 2 songs. On the third, when the baton was passed to him, he ripped off an impressive solo that would be amazing for anyone, and he is 93. We had to dip out to catch our flight, but cant wait to stop in again next time.

This was our last stop during our must recent NYC trip. Were only able to stay for a an hour or…read moreso, because we had to run to the airport. Still, this was enough to get a good feel of what the club is all about. Just standing in line we got to talk to a musician, who had just played at another location, but told us the people playing there that day were amazing, including the 91-year-old drummer "Muppet". We went during the day so no cover charge, but think they do at later hours. We got some spots at the bar, knowing we would not be able to stay long. From any seat you are able to enjoy the whole atmosphere and set. They had one server and one bartender, and I honestly thought at first they would be scrambling with all the drink orders but the way they worked, quickly and still being personable with each guest was impressive. The band playing was great, we stayed a bit more than we should have because of how good they were. Very intimate, chill way to spend time enjoying live music. The only reason I took one star off is the restroom situation. I went down hoping I could use the facilities but the mold smell and other strong smell made me sick and I had to run out. Just make sure you go before you are inside or hold it. Apart from that, very intimate, chill way to spend time enjoying live music.

This venue needs an attitude adjustment of what it means to be a part of a COMMUNITY! Just because we might be different from you gives you no right to treat us with such hostility and hate. We have been nothing but kind, outgoing, understanding and patient neighbors in the face of nonstop hate and vitriol. The food that feeds some of these hurtful and hateful emotions is toxic and filled with an extremely low frequency agenda. A business and venue should pride itself on serving a community, not an ideology. Shape up and practice love or lose our business forever.

When we came in, it was like stepping into a new time period. The vibes were dark, cozy, and pretty close to my imagination of what a bar in a pirate ship would be like. As the night went on, the crowd grew as they were drawn in by the live jazz band playing. The menu was extensive with so many types of interesting cocktails to select at $15 per drink. I enjoyed the Gouldian Finch (I liked it so much I ordered it again) and the Damsel in Distress.  Highly recommend if you're in the area and if you're in the mood for good drinks with great company, great staff and a great live jazz band.
