Skinny's Lounge — Restaurant in Los Angeles

A Night of Throwbacks & Trade-Offs!

If you’re into early 2000s and 2010s bangers (Lil Jon, Daddy Yankee, Rihanna) this spot hits. We got in line at 10PM, reached the door at 10:02, and boom, pay up. So be INSIDE before 10PM.

Drinks? Stick to beer or champagne. My margarita and tequila sunrise tasted like they were mixed by someone who learned bartending from TikTok. VIP was cool in theory, but getting through the dance floor was like trying to weave through Times Square on New Year’s.

Bathrooms? Ladies had it easy, clean, short line. The men’s? A horror movie. Vomit in the sink, urinal looking like a crime scene. Do better, fellas.

The crowd? 30s-40s, more dudes than women. If you're expecting fine dudes or an IG-model scene, nah this ain't it.

Music was fire, bartenders were chill, but the experience? A mixed bag. Would I go back? Maybe, but only with a beer in hand and low...

• Added after Response from Owner** If there was 0 stars i would give 0 stars worst place to ever go to was sitting at a table and the bartender came up to us and said sorry this table is reserved without having the RESERVED SIGN. Drunk unfriendly people no security...BEWARE NOT A SAFE PLACE TO GO!!!

Like I said no Reserved sign on the table (the signs are pretty noticeable) and one of your male guests was making threats at one of my friends while we were dancing. As he was saying things he was putting his hands in his pockets like he was about to pull something out. The guards were outside we seen them when we were walking out taking our business elsewhere. First time we go to Skinny's and last time. After the shooting in a club in the Valley a couple of weeks ago my friends and I are staying away from...

I've been there twice already and it was pretty much the same thing. Nice local acts performing, both times it was metal and both times they were pretty good musicians. Bar services was a little slow and careless but what would you expect at s metal bar. Price of beer was ok tho. They don't really have a green room, it's more like a green patio that I don't know how helpful it might be in rainy days. Sound is decent and the audio guy takes good care of it. Stage is decent size for a regular 5 musician lineup, any more than that starts getting tight. I like that it's not too high up and it gets easy for performers to interact with the crowd. The crowd by the way was pretty nice and energetic both days and not many drunken metal heads, although I actually left ki d of early both days so maybe later...
