The Frozen Coffee at this Williamsburg joint is the gold standard in frozen drinks . This bourbon-and-coffee filled slushie is topped with coffee grounds and more bourbon , named after Willie Nelson. Read more
This bar screams 1970s in the best way possible. Honky tonk ambiance in the middle of Williamsburg, it's great. Skinny Dennis was also listed on The Village Voice's top ten jukebox bars for 2013!
definitely an all time Williamsburg favorite. Inexpensive brews, Willie's Frozen Coffee , One Pound Margs , kitchy deco, games, and honky tonk. Great any time of day, and it really bumps weekend nights.
best dive bar in Williamsburg, featuring live country/bluegrass (those nights are best) and cheap ass drinks to make you forget your achin heart. go for the 24 oz Narraganset for $4 or the bourbon tea
Coffee . With whiskey . Need I say more? Also they have sweet tea and bourbon drinks served in ginormous mason mugs. Get that as well . Now go dance your butt off to the live band !
Come here for a relaxing fun night with a few close friends and definitely get the frozen coffee or the mint bourbon iced tea . Oh and ask for peanuts if you're in a snack mood.
One of the finer and most crowded watering holes in Williamsburg. Live Music can be hit or miss. Their mudslides are always a great way to get the night started
One of the best in NYC. Texas bar , order the micheladas . If you don't know about the puzzle under the cap then sorry. Go on Sunday afternoon for exceptional live music . They have soft pretzels .
coffee drink is good but the fucking DEAL is the 24oz. of coors, which during happy hour (12-7 every day) is THREE dollars—that’s a 2 dollar pint folks
A foursquare check-in cannot express my love for Skinny Dennis. It's apparently very douchey on a weekend but I'm calling it now: Willie's Frozen Coffee is the new Turkey 's Nest Margarita .
Me with my new skinny Dennis hat! National reserve has a residency here on Friday night. All the bands are fun and bar crowd itself is great!
They have everything you would want, live music , froze coffee ( a must), peanuts and cheap drafts including the banquet beer . They also have good craft beer too.
It’s got the customary Dive Bar game selection (Skee-Ball, Big Buck Hunter ), quality live music springing up in the corner of the room at the drop of a hat, and a floor full of used peanut husks. Read more
Awesome live music most nights. Free peanuts you throw shells on the floor. Friendly bartenders . Awesome atmosphere - one of my favorite spots in NYC! Try the frozen coffee drink!
Brings Austin to Willamsburg. My favorite bar is BK. Great juke box and fabulous live music that is not always country . Bourbon Sweet Tea makes for a nice Sunday afternoon, great Micheladas !
Cowboy up to the jukebox and fire up some twangy Randy Travis, Dolly Parton or Steve Earle to complete the boot-scootin’ scene. Read more
As far as new bars go, this place feels like its been here for 50 years. Call it kitsch or call it nostalgia, you can't beat cheap booze, southern fried tunes , and vintage decor . Cool your boots man.
Come before it gets too crowded and get a seat for the live set. Prob one of the only places where you can still hear good country .
Frozen spiked coffee is delicious, awesome country music on weeknights. Consistently draws a lively , good looking crowd. My go-to hook-up bar ! ????
Who knew you could find a good old Honky Tonk in NYC ? We also found one of our favorite pick me ups – the Frozen Coffee which is much needed after two or three Tito’s Lemonades .
Such a chill , quirky and cosy bar in Williamsburg! Just what we were looking for :)
Beer was good, live music was amazing! We saw a skiffle / jug band play their washboards and kazoos. Check this place out!
Really well priced drinks. And who doesn't love live music and peanuts all over the floor! Great spot
It's definitely honky, and it's definitely tonky. Sometimes country bands will play. If a weird night out in Williamsburg is what you seek, let Skinny Dennis be your captain.
Thoughts: fun jukebox , great playlist when the jukebox isn't playing, cheap drinks , great pretzel , it's OK to throw your peanut shells on the floor.
Willies Frozen Coffee cocktail is not to be missed! Oslo coffee + Bourbon make for a refreshing, delicious summertime drink.
It's hard to go wrong here with cheap , delicious, and generously-poured drinks like the frozen coffee and bourbon lemonade . One and done.
Can get excessively crowded during busy times. The clientele leaves a bit to be desired for a place that otherwise has a cool atmosphere.
Amazing Sunday night fun with a live band and incredible specialty drinks . Also a unexpected, reasonable prices
Love this place. The music is awesome, and it wasn't super crowded . Mind you it was a Monday night. Shiner on tap . Very happy.
I really like this place. Straightforward, reasonably priced, and country music
Live music , Texas
Bourbon sweet tea will help you forget all your pains, and the rest of your night.
You can get kolaches (From Brooklyn Kolache Co.) every Sat from 1pm to 3:45. Kolaches and beer
honkey tonk and cheap beers . Whiskey/Coffee slushie is great. The one pound margaritas will put you on the floor.
Rare to find a honky tonk in NYC ! This place was great with a fun crowd.
Skinny Dennis is my church--the music my hymns and the frozen coffee my baptismal water. And yeah. I'd dunk myself in it if I could.
we went for happy hour post northside festival so it was early. looks like a really fun place, great staff .
Willie's frozen coffee is pretty hype. Delicious iced bourbon coffee . Ask for the peanuts . Try to beat my Galaga score.
well drinks are also three dollars during happy hour . the coffee drink is $7
Get the free Peanuts . When I was there, there was lots of singing and dancing to classic country .
Get a Shiner Bock . This bar is like every bar in Austin—a little bit of Texas in Williamsburg
Get the coffee bourbon and the lemonade vodka , subtly strong! Great live music !
Have two alcohol-laced novelty drinks, put a few bucks in the jukebox and sing silently in your head, as to not be judged.
Amazing bar ! Cool decor, affordable drinks and good music . Great addition to the neighborhood !
Solid country music dive bar . They get good bands on the weekends playing shit like the Doors and Johnny Cash.
The frozen coffee , boozy iced tea , and micheladas are show stealers, but the tap selection is no slouch
Sitting at the bar watching New Yorkers sing along to Patsy Cline is sort of surreal. I love this place!
Favorite bar in town . Come Friday at 8, stay until the growing crowds drive you out.
Great drinks at good prices. Don't use the restrooms if you're a prude. Vintage naked ladies hung up for some reason?????
Great dive bar with excellent shot beer specials to get you going for the night :) - Jackson Isaacson

Cozy, roomy, and fun food specials based on the movies playing. Best way to see a film. - Marzy Hart
They have mead, live music and big steins of beer! Great pretzels too. - Ben Gasparini
Amazing chill bar that allows dogs...more dog friendly than any bar I've been in. - Amy Sagar
