Skinny Dennis

Brooklyn: Williamsburg, Greenpoint & Bushwick


No need to fly to Nashville – you can get your honky-tonk on right here in Brooklyn at this roadhouse saloon on bustling Metropolitan Ave. Aside from Kinky Friedman posters, a reverential painting of Willie Nelson, peanut shells on the floor and a Patsy Cline–heavy jukebox in the corner, you'll find country crooners playing nightly to a garrulous, beer-swilling crowd.

Eighteen beers are on tap but the thing to drink is the Skinny Dennis special: frozen coffee. There's a long happy hour from noon to 7pm on weekdays.
