Maybe 1/4 artichoke, and the rest was full of cheese and spinach. If you like cheese, then get this item. However, if you are looking for that artichoke taste, skip it. We also ordered their salad, and that was the only item that I finished. Their pizza is terrible. They poured Parmesan on top of our pizza. That's a no-no. We will add it ourselves if we wanted it. Something is also wrong with the crust too. I guess there are restaurants where they don't know how to make a good pizza. Service? What service, they were only interested in serving those people who are drinking and ordering alcohol drinks. As for diners like ourselves, they did not take care of us. Unfortunately, we went when the soccer game was being broadcasted, so there goes the ambience: loud and noisy. Turn and run away from this place.

Unfortunately, the Caesar salad was way too overdressed for our taste, and the egg rolls were served cold, which was a letdown. Service was okay, but you could tell our server was juggling a lot since he was the only one on the floor besides the bartender. The atmosphere had a fun sports bar vibe that we enjoyed, making it a decent spot to catch a game. Overall, it had its ups and downs, and while we loved some things, there were areas that could use improvement.

The nicest thing our party had to say about our single round was, "I guess I prefer a weak Piña Colada to an overly sweet Piña Colada?" On the upside, at least the drinks were "only" ten dollars. I can't say the combination of blasting music and the overhead lighting of a dentist's office made for a particularly pleasurable environment. We actually went for food because the menu they have posted online looks great. Latin American with a bit of Caribbean influence. Unfortunately their kitchen is being remodeled and will be closed until "next week". Maybe we'll try again at some point and just skip the drinks? (Nah.)

Beyond the great food and drinks (and prices), what makes this place special is the people. As a woman who often comes in by herself, I've always felt safe, welcomed, and comfortable. The bartenders are attentive, friendly, and truly on top of their game. They remember their regulars and have created the kind of neighborhood bar where it's easy to feel like you belong. Shortly after moving to Denver, I experienced an unimaginable personal loss, and during that difficult time Skippy's became a place where I could get out of the house, watch a game, have a great meal, read a book and simply be around kind people. I'll always be grateful for that. I've also met some wonderful friends here--people I've gone to sporting events and concerts with--and that's something I never expected when I first walked through the door. The food is fantastic, especially the wings. If you haven't been on Thursdays for the $1 wing special, you're missing out! And with more than 30 TVs, it's the perfect place to catch a game. They never hesitate to switch one of the TVs so I can watch something that's not always popular in Colorado, like Nebraska football, Nebraska volleyball, or a WNBA game, which I really appreciate. Whenever family or friends visit me in Denver, Skippy's is always on the itinerary. It's more than just a sports bar--it's become one of my favorite places in the city and a place that truly helped me feel at home.

I did not get sick or anything, but my cousin said the same thing when I gave her a piece. It didn't taste odd but there was nothing special about it. None of the meats had a smoke flavor to them. The brisket was dry as my skin in the winter. My cousin ordered the Texas twinkie and it was hard as a rock. The potato salad is straight up nasty. I don't know for sure, but I do not think the food is cooked at the restaurant and perhaps microwaves are used to reheat the precooked food. Service (4 stars) Bartender was extremely patient while waiting to take our order. Recommended one of the in-house beers. Atmosphere (4 stars) Seems like they have a decent local following. I would go back and sit at the bar and enjoy a beer. But never going back for a meal. Cleanliness (3 stars) Bathrooms are not clean.

They are soft, warm, and go perfect with the dip so well. Cherry Cricket this time was a great experience and we would come back for the pretzels alone.

Aaron has personally victimized me and another "person of color" but has allowed the two people of her decent to return as while she laughs it off with racial slurs to her "peers".

I can't say anything nice about this place...the beer is warm, pool tables unbalanced, it smells horrible, and the bathrooms are broken...I'm surprised they have running water. It's a local favorite for the homeless and criminal element.....if your looking for a fight, you've found the right place. The owner will help start one, or the drunk bartenders. I've never seen so much behind the bar drinking, makes you wonder how a profit is made. read more

The first thing to greet you when you come into this place is unfortunately a stale basement/cigarette stench which has clearly been there for many, many years and probably won't ever go away. That's the reason for maybe 1.5 stars taken off. The other half star was because we were there at a non-busy time and still had to pay per hour and per person to play pool. There are many pool bars downtown that don't even charge for playing as long as you buy drinks. I would maybe understand per table but per person? That seemed a bit much especially for what was being offered. They do show at least the Fight Night UFC events here though which is nice... but without volume.

My Google Maps said I had arrived, yet out of all the shops in the strip mall none of them said Rack'em Billiards. Turns out it's located in the back behind the Mexican restaurant. This is a 21+ establishment and if you're playing pool they will hold one persons ID until you return the balls. The entire place needs a major remodel. There were holes in the ceiling and the carpet was dirty. Not to mention, it was hot as hell in there. Then I went to the restroom and had to venture to three different stalls to find toilet paper. We were given table number 5 which was all the way in the back and I'm not a professional or avid pool player so I thought everything looked fine. However, the chairs that were at our table were wobbly and my seat was falling off. As for food, it's your typical bar fare. There were wings, chicken strips, a salad and some other items. I ordered the chicken strips and fries and thought they were actually pretty good. The service was slow even when the place was extremely vacant. Thankfully playing several rounds of pool kept us busy and having fun. At the end of our night we received our checks and weren't aware that it cost $5 to play pool. Yeah, it's only $5, but I wish they would have disclosed this verbally instead of putting up a sign that no one reads and then finding out on the check. And come to find out it's cheaper on every other day except Sunday, the day we went. Overall, not the best place for a night out, but if you like pool they have plenty of tables.

I got there around 7:30 before the band started and parked myself at a small high top table next to the pillar which is about in the middle of this place. (I'm glad I did because once the band started the crowd quickly grew.) While the band was doing a soundcheck the bartender came over and took my drink order. She mentioned if I wanted food that there was a food truck in their parking lot where I could order Mexican food and pay for it. (I could then come back inside and the people from the food truck would bring my order to me.) I hesitated for a moment because I had a good seat for seeing the band and was afraid it would be taken if I left the place. But once she brought my drink I figured that would show that someone was sitting at that table. At the food truck I ordered chips and queso, paid and went back to my table. Shortly they brought my food. The place has a long bar to the right when you enter (at the north east corner of the building). Then there are a few high top tables to the left. Between the stage (on the south end of the room) and the high top tables is a pool table. There is another table and some video games near the south exit to the enclosed patio. The management was nice enough to close off the one pool table that was between the audience and the stage so we could enjoy the music undistracted. Once the band started playing a lot of 40, 50 and 60 somethings came to listen and dance. It was a good crowd, great music and an enjoyable time. I'd go again the next time they have a group I want to see.
