They have a jutebox but also a DJ who doesn’t take requests even if it’s old school country. So people pay on the jutebox and their songs never play.

This is not a restaurant. It's a great dive bar where they play excellent country music. Always people dancing. Great bartenders. Highly recommend

This is one of my favorite Bar in Brooklyn / Williamsburg. I love to get there on Saturday afternoon, they have always a nice live session.
Although you are not in Texas or Nashville, you can have a nice Honky Tonk in New York City.
Good beers, friendly staff, nice vibes, good Music!

Not sure when this became a cover charge place but it has lost its way. What a shame

The place wasn’t that bad and the live music was good. The reason I give one star is because of the behavior of the staff and specifically the security at the door. The bouncer was very rude and after I went out for a phone call he asked me to pay a cover charge again. Apparently he forgot to check my ID when I entered the first time and he couldn’t find me in the list and I had to pay again due to his incompetence. And he was talking to me with the worst attitude. Never going back because I don’t want to be treated like a second class citizen by the security staff.

Really bad policy at the door - they take cash but dont accept $100 dollar bills - so the only way to get into this place is to pay the cover w small bills!? 🤯

Denied entry despite having an Australian license and 32yo. Security said I need an “ID” not sure what qualifies?

Home to the worst bartender in NY. You know the one: Long Hair, Thousand Yard Stare. My friends and I have been patrons of Skinny Dennis & Horses and Divorces for over 7 years, but that era must now come to an end because of this miserable miserable man. Here’s a quick laundry list of his infractions over the years:
- charged me for drinks I never ordered
- overcharged me for drinks I did order
- smoked a cigarette outside H&D at peak hour for a good ten minutes, leaving the bar un attended as dozens of patrons waited to be served
- typed away on his phone for 3 minutes as I stood there waiting for a drink

Each time I go, I give this man a clean slate and he continues to impress me at how terrible and hostile he is at his job. I see him bark at other unsuspecting customers every time I’m here. I feel like he needs a hug.
Here’s the thing. I love this bar when anyone besides him is working. The rest of the crew are stellar, so if you guys could just tell me which days this zombie works, I’ll remain a patron and show up the other days

I honestly wanted to love this place. Inside, everything was awesome — the bartender was super friendly, the drinks were amazing (highly recommend the frozen coffee one!), the band was great, and the vibe was really fun and lively.
But the night started off on a really sour note because of the bouncer. Instead of being welcoming, he was rude and condescending. I misheard him, and instead of just clarifying, he decided to shame me and even tried to “teach me how to interact with people.” Not exactly the kind of greeting you want when you’re walking into a bar to have a good time.
Thankfully, the bartender and band turned things around and kept the night from being completely ruined. But honestly, the first person you meet at the door shouldn’t make you feel unwelcome. If it weren’t for how great the staff inside were, I probably would’ve left right away.
