About Skinny Dennis

Skinny Dennis is a country-leaning bar and small music room in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, at 152 Metropolitan Avenue. Opened in 2013, it was named for the late upright-bass player Dennis Sanchez. The calendar centers on nightly live sets and late shows that favor honky-tonk, Americana, and roots songwriting, with a working rotation of local and touring musicians. The room reads less like a club than a neighborhood listening post, where the bandstand sits close to the crowd.
