Skinny Dennis.

Worth it, says Antonina. Skinny Dennis is affordable daylong, so the only justified fear is losing your date to a strapping small-town visitor intent on showing a big city gal the true meaning of Christmas in Ohio.

What I wrote thereFold it away

New York City is no stranger to the occasional cowboy, know where you’ll find them? Skinny Dennis, where Honky-tonk meets big city. There’s more than 18 drafts flowing while the likes of Alan Jackson, George Strait and Johnny Cash serenade the lively crowd.

Skinny Dennis is affordable daylong, so the only justified fear is losing your date to a strapping small-town visitor intent on showing a big city gal the true meaning of Christmas in Ohio. The bar also hosts live performers nearly every day of the week, see the lineup here.

What I wrote thereFold it away

152 Metropolitan Avenue, Williamsburg. A honky-tonk bar with live country music, a stuffed rattlesnake on the wall, and $5 cans of Lone Star. The frozen margaritas ($8) are strong and taste like summer. There’s live music most nights and it’s always free. The crowd is a wonderful mix of Williamsburg hipsters and people who genuinely love country music. Two frozen margaritas and a night of live music for $20, including tip. Try getting that in Manhattan.
