We wanted a fun night in the valley so our group decided to give this nightclub a try. Especially since Friday was advertised as a throwback hip-hop night! We reserved a table for our large group of 16 and we were informed that it would be about $150 for the table. We were told it would include a bottle of prosecco and automatic gratuity. But we were warned that if we showed up after 10, we'd still have to pay the cover charge ($5). The inside has low lighting and there is a security guard posted at the entrance. The spot is surrounded by a couple of fast food spots, like the dog haus. And, of course, a taco truck and hot dog vendor show up later in the night! I appreciated that the music was at a good volume; I didnt have to scream to people to get them to hear me. They have a water station conveniently located at the bar. The drinks were great (they've got happy hour prices before 10). And its pretty empty until after 10. I enjoyed my margarita and the Mexican candy shot that I was able to request to have made. Honestly, the drinks were awesome! Since some people from our party werent able to show (down to 11), we were able to ask about the smaller group table, closer to the bar. Our original table was in the back, after the dance floor. Its great if you want to be isolated. Our table ended up being $100, probably cause we didnt get that promised prosecco and it didnt have table service, which worked for us. We had fun dancing. Even though, the music being played wasnt what we consider as throwback hip-hop/reggaeton. The bathrooms were pretty small, with an odd layout (a step before the two stalls). I'd check this nightclub out again! read more

Had the best Sex on the Beach cocktail of my entire life made here! I didn't catch the bartender's name, but it was a young Asian man who you want to order with! Loved their happy hour prices - from 9pm to 10pm all the cocktails were only $11. The place itself doesn't look as fancy as it does on the owner's Yelp photos, but it is still a decent bar to hang out and dance at. And the music was just right! read more

Probably one of the funnest clubs/ bars in all of north Hollywood! Security is cool, not extra. The bartenders are so quick and make bomb assss drinks, my favorite bartender is Steven!! He already knew my order and how many I needed before even saying a word. Will definitely keep bringing my friends here :) lol Music is poppin too btw read more

Drinks were good and atmosphere was cool but the main reason I left early from this place was because they were playing some really outdated and old music that's in no one playlist, majority of the songs were from probably 10-20 years ago and no one was feeling it. Only played a couple Spanish songs but hip hop songs for hours. No one was really dancing and or feeling it. Get better music that really killed my whole vibe and night. read more

Grace is probably the rudest bartender i have ever dealt with. Snarky, arrogant, gave me multiple stare downs all for talking to a friend real quick while ordering a drink. Would not recommend buying drinks from her, or anything as a matter of fact. The place is super cool, however minus points for pathetic service. read more

Amazing girls night out! Steven at Skinny's Lounge took the best care of my friends and me. It was our first time visiting, and he and the whole staff immediately made the birthday girl in our group feel like a VIP. Service was top notch, security was completely dialed in, the music was amazing for dancing (hip hop/reggaeton) and we felt safe and looked after to have a great night. Such a great experience, and highly recommend Skinny's for a fun time! read more

and her are so amazing. There was a situation that was handled very well very professional and couldn't ask for better service. If I could rate every individual I would have to give everyone a 10 out of 10 amazing customer service on everyone's behalf. Especially for all the attention the great hospitality. read more

Me and my girls favorite place to dance! Music is always on point. Bartenders here are quick and attentive. Have to shout out Steven! Takes care of us every time and always remembers our order. He especially went above and beyond when my pregnant friend wanted a special drink and made the most delicious mocktail ever! Thank you!!! read more

Bro the only good thing about this place is the drinks ... the dj has the same fucken playlist since 2010 like damn ... play some other type of music this is the 3rd time in here and I already know the order of the music read more

This place is and always well be my favorite spot to party i always do my bdays here and friends bday here .. I been here for years now and I still love it read more

I recently visited your establishment and unfortunately had a disappointing experience that I feel compelled to share. First, I'd suggest reviewing how your front-door security handles entry. A staff member named Matt requested $20 per person for front-of-line access, yet still expected us to pay the regular $5 cover at the door. This came across as unprofessional and misleading. Thankfully, the young lady at the front desk was courteous and said she would notify management -- a much-appreciated gesture. Inside, the bar service left much to be desired. The bartenders appeared more focused on taking shots with each other than serving customers. I was told to wait while the staff did a round of shots, and then got skipped entirely when another bartender chose to serve someone else instead. That level of service is frustrating, especially for paying guests. The DJ did a great job within the limits he was given. However, I was surprised to hear that he couldn't take song requests because certain tracks were deemed "provocative" by management and might cause fights. In my opinion, a good DJ should have more freedom to read and engage the crowd. Overall, the experience did not meet expectations, especially considering past visits. It may be worth bringing back some of the former staff or policies that made this place enjoyable before. I hope management takes this feedback seriously to improve the experience for future guests. read more

I don't care about how you treat me personally dont care as im a resident but tourists. It's so rude and over the top how you treat tourist read more

Stopped in here on a whim after work, fully expecting mediocre drinks and maybe one sad bowl of pretzels, but honestly? Exceeded expectations. The bartender (shoutout to Jamie with the mullet -- icon) made me one of the best Old Fashioneds I've had in months. Strong, but not I'm-texting-my-ex strong. Music was at that perfect "I can still hear myself think, but I'm also vibing" level. Only reason it's not 5 stars: bathroom situation was... mysterious. Not bad, just mysterious. Like, where is that pipe going? Why is there a single chair in the corner? Questions for another day. Overall: good drinks, cool people, slightly haunted bathroom. Will return. read more

asked for water from the gun here and the bartenders refused because they have water in a giant jug. my friend and i both tipped 20% and they can't give us water? that's honestly so crazy. i've been bartending for 11 years and ill never say such things to a guest because im being lazy. read more

Skinny's is a lot of fun if the right dj is playing, but the best part is if Steven is bartending. He is the best bartender in the valley, he's amazing . Skinny's wouldn't be skinny's without him. His drinks are A1! :) honestly only reason this place got 5 stars lol read more

Fun place but bartenders aren't skilled at balancing a well mixed cocktail. Depending on the night you go you'll get different music styles. We went on a Saturday night and it was decent enough to dance to but not our 50-year old-ish taste. Would I go back! Yes. It's a lot of fun. I'll stick to beer. read more

Please Fire Host and security On Friday, December 6th, I had a disappointing experience at this bar. Earlier that night, Brittney told me I couldnt bring in my empty Hydro Flask and leave it in the front, even though I had already brought it inside without issue earlier with no problem with Izzy and Mathew . When I was leaving, my Hydro Flask was nowhere to be found in the front check in desk and they told me to call back to check cameras. I called multiple times last week, visited the location in person, and even followed up again to pick it up. Unfortunately, Izzy, Mathew, and Brittney did absolutely nothing to help. They weren't willing to take responsibility or provide a solution and just told me to keep calling, which I had already been doing without success. This lack of accountability and customer service is extremely frustrating, and I wouldn't recommend this bar to anyone based on how poorly they handled the situation. Stop stealing from customers, and call back when we leave voicemails . read more

DJ for the reggaeton night doesn't play bad bunny. Explain? So far 3 Drake songs. It's a throwback, reggaeton, top 40s night and he doesn't play that but just a play list that's from 2008? Yeah... don't. Boomer club. Drink was not even that good so I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. Definitely a good spot if you're stuck in the early 2000s and are ok with a lazy DJ that plays the same playlist he did in 2005. read more

I love the ambiance always great music good drinks and just a place i would recommend to friends and family.

The music mix is horrible! Not much to actually dance too. The songs give a middle school dance vibe. Songs like, "you're a jerk etc," throw the vibe off. I enjoy all kinds of music but lately skinnys has not been doing well with the music they play. My friend and I use to come here all the time and stopped due to the music being lame but we tried giving it another shot recently and we were still disappointed. People constantly leave the dance floor. The dj plays the entire song even if the crowd isn't feeling it so you're there waiting it out till you hear something better play. I think all that needs improvement is the music. Bar tenders are cool. Service is smooth. read more

Bartenders, Steven and Matt, are the best bartenders in town! Come say hi and enjoy your night!

Was in LA visiting my sister and had a night to myself. Decided to find a place to go dance and this was it. The music was decent. The crowd was good. Service slow. read more

I was in there minding my business when security came over and let me know that there's no whistling in the club, he said and I quote " I'm all about everyone having a good time but there's no whistling " I'll go to a silent party next time motherfucker " bar staff is good, drinks are good but security is a mess... I go where the vibes up but Skinnys ain't it. read more

The security at this place and management are not the best. They claim to be about the ambiance but no, very disrespectful. So sad to see such popular place not have a nice easy guard... people are there to have a good time why are the security men all upon people. read more

Don't expect much from this place. It's a nice place to go dancing and have drinks. Place is outdated nothing fancy Good music though, DJ talks a bit to much for my taste but he gets the job done. Overall expect to have fun read more

I went to this place for the first time on a Thursday night and it was cool. Dj Laggz is a great Hip Hop classic music DJ. The bar isnt too big, but has a dance floor with lights, tables, seats to relax in with mirrors around and dim lights. The prices for drinks was avaerage. I took uber due to parking always a pain in the streets or alleys. Bar seemed very chill not overly crowded with people. I would come here again with people, that music makes you wanna dance! read more

We recently had my work Christmas party here and let me tell you.. we'll be back every single year. Brittney was SO amazing. She was fast at communicating, extremely accommodating, and an amazing bar tender. The rest of the staff, including security was awesome as well. The party was a complete hit. People are still talking about how great it was. Thank you so so so much to Skinny's staff for making our Christmas party such an amazing time! read more

We love coming to Skinny's! It's so hard to find a bar these days that can balance good music, great drinks and a fun atmosphere - but Skinny's always hits all 3. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive and the DJs play great music. The theme nights are also super fun. You can't go wrong with Skinny's!! read more

The bartenders are amazing. They make great, delicious drinks and work quick. The DJ on the weekends is perfect for dancing and gives a great party vibe. Always a good time here. read more

It's been awhile but I used to frequent Skinny's to dance West Coast Swing. Many fond memories here.

Bartender makes amazing drinks. Very friendly chill vibe. Dj is on point. Would def recommend

This place definitely feels like a good time. Bar is relatively small and it does take a while to get drinks. The dance floor also small but if you're not much of a dancer than that shouldn't be a problem. It can get crowded so you know is a crowd pleaser. there is a cover charge. So bring cash also dress code is strictly enforced read more

It was my first time here and I HAD A BLAST. Made lots of friends and danced the night away! Cheap drinks were a plus ;)

One of my favorite bars in town. It's always a great time at Skinny's! The bar staff are all very friendly and work quick, even on crowded nights you don't have to wait to get your drinks. The drinks are always excellent. I've enjoyed all of the themed nights as well! Especially 80's nights! The dancing/DJ's on weekends are a great vibe and I find it a great crossover between a friendly neighborhood bar experience and a small upscale club. Basically, there is something for everyone! read more

I went to this place last night which was Saturday and the security guy works there name Jorge took care of me and my friend all night. The place was very small and didn't really like the music and crowd, but the VIP room in the back was very nice and cozy. The bartender was very nice and got my drink very fast. I'm giving 4 star review and might be going back only because the nice security guy and great service lol read more

Skinny's Lounge - VIP room - Lounges Near Me - North Hollywood, California

The place is a cool spot ,the ambiance is just enough to enjoy.the drinks are well done .Bartenders are cool and nice,attentive.the doorman is cool.now the dance floor is small but enjoyable,as for the DJ who's playing his own style of music that nobody is interested in dancing too is extremely excruciating painful! DJ has a big sign that reads no requests!!! We should write a sign that reads your pick of tunes is lousy!we want to dance and not sit around and see you stand there acting as if your busy!!! Beside that skinny's is a good place too be read more

Skinny's Lounge is a neighborhood bar, located on Lankershim, very easy to find. It's nothing fancy, but pretty big, with live music. I've been here before, a few times since early 2000's when it had another name (I did a private event here back in the day). Recently I went to Skinny's again since a friend's band was playing here on a Thursday night. The place was booming on a week night, it was fun, lively, various types of people, nice crowd, fun, no issues. Cute Halloween decor, they serve a bit of everything - booze territory.Prices a bit high. It's nice since they have live music, local bands, everyone loved it. No cover during the week, $5 during the week (really?). Street parking, safe area, decent place. The music is a bit loud (not to sound like an old lady). Otherwise, pretty tight, there were 3 bands and they were pretty much on time. Cool venue in NoHo. Just watch it, though, it might get loud! read more

Train your staff... I will say that as a business man customer service is a priority specially with new clients!! Keep your high rating from usual clients I am NEVER COMING BACK... Got a vibe for good reviews on this app showed up got, charged for walk-in that's ok (cover charge) . As soon as I got charged I was told by security oh you can't seat here here..... oh you can't seat there either go to back......oh wait that's VIP, the dude didn't even know what was out of bounce cus he was harassing or felt like so I was done. He called his supervisor he was aggressive and I was done waiting for an Uber and he got insulting so I said call your super and he was cool and I said thank you but no thank you were done here. I don't recommend this place for a first time AT ALL!! Unless you like to be mistreated. read more
