This place had a great vibe and was a fantastic venue for the show I went to tonight with a group of friends. The staff also had great vibes- joking and chatting with concert attendees and getting into the music as much as the rest of us. The staff was also great sports when the band we were seeing did a conga line out of the venue and body surfed a band member up and down to and from the balcony level. As the concert was wondering down, I noticed how careful the bartenders and staff were about disinfecting and keeping the bars clean. Was a little disappointed when I found out that they don't do food anymore, but over all the experience was pretty great! I'll definitely check out this venue for events in the future!

Had a blast at this place last night. Went to go see a metal show and can't wait to go back. The bar was open but nothing for food so I guess that's for smaller shows because it was packed last night. The sound quality was great and my wife said the drinks were delicious. I'll definitely be back for another show.

I was shocked by how large this space was. I had driven past Skully's so many times and had heard about it a lot but never got the chance to come for any events until a Tuesday evening to see Pale Waves perform. The line outside was barely a line. Most people were inside since the performances started at 7 and we had arrived around 7:30. The people helping to check names, IDs, and give wristbands were not overly personable but they weren't rude. The girl giving wristbands did make a bit of some conversation about how cold her hands were. My friends and I had ordered our tickets as "will call", which meant that our names were on a list and we didn't have physical tickets. It was the cheapest option. Parking is not great here. There's a lot next to it but I'm not sure if it's theirs. Otherwise, parallel parking is your best bet. We didn't want to do the meters on High street, so we turned down a side street and found free parallel easily. It was almost an 8 minute walk to the venue. When we got in, it was dimly lit. The front area is the eating area. There were people sitting at the bar and others eating at the booths. Bathrooms are also to your right. Walking towards the back, there was another bar and a medium-sized room which is where the performances take place. It wasn't overly packed as we stood near the back and then later moved to the front by the left side of the stage. You can definitely get a good view from most anywhere if you get here early enough. They also have an upstairs area to stand as well. The mirrors on opposite ends of the walls was interesting. It made the place look a bit bigger. There were ledges on them on which people placed their jackets and empty cups. Overall, great venue! You can hear the music pretty well. Acoustics are still better at Newport, in my opinion, but I don't mind coming back for another concert! I can't speak for the service at the bar since I didn't order anything. Tickets seem to not be all that expensive. My ticket was less than $20 and I saw The Candesecents and Kailee Morgue open for Pale Waves.

I don't want what I read in other reviews to impact my opinion of this place, but I really wasn't impressed. For me, it was the service that really disappointed me. Again, I was there, photographing a concert and I can't say I was given the warmest welcome. I had just finished a long, labor-intensive day at my job, so I was pretty exhausted when I reported to shoot. I introduced myself and someone told me where to go (upstairs) to set up. No one escorted me or gave me any special direction. I went upstairs and told them that it was pitch black up there and I couldn't get to a central position to shoot. I was told that that section would not be opened up and that the lights would be off. I couldn't see a thing, so I had to use my flashlight to set up. I later told them that I needed a chair, instead of a stool, having had knee replacement surgery and suffering from dehydration. I wasn't given one. I asked for a glass of water and was given one. When I asked for a second, explaining that I was feeling dizzy (the air was stuffy up there), I was told that I would have to purchase water. I would gladly have paid for it, but I was taken aback to learn that the bartender was more concerned about the sale, than my health and safety. After speaking with the promoter that hired me about the setup, he became upset about the situation and made arrangements for me to get water frequently. Knowing that I couldn't go up and down the stairs and shoot the event, I was pleased to know that he took care of me. I also had to set the timer on my watch to remind me to run out and put more money in the meter, in the parking lot, so I wouldn't get towed. Being there for a concert, with a meter that expires after a few hours, its very easy for customer to forget. If a business owns a parking lot, parking fee should be a one-time thing. I didn't enjoy the experience and opted out of an offer to shoot there, weeks later for a different event. Normally I take gatorade with me to events to prevent dehydration, but I could see them telling me that I had to purchase their drinks. By the way, I'm not a cheapskate, but most venues are more than willing to accommodat me, knowing that I'm on assignment. Don't think I'll be going back.

Super unique place. The bar tenders really hustle. It's intimate enough where you can watch the bands up close, but turn around and order a beer. I love skullys.

I ordered a grilled chilled cheese to be safe because I suspected the quality of other items would be questionable. Unfortunately, the grilled cheese is made with one single slice of Kraft American Singles. Not even real cheese and it wasn't fully melted. The fries are frozen crinkle cut fries, also somehow cold. The bacon was gross, tastes dry and just low quality, like microwave kind? I tried my son's kid waffle which was surprisingly decent. Hash-browns were okay just unseasoned. Overall would not recommend if you're looking for quality ingredients but if you're looking for a greasy spoon you're in business. The staff was nice, probably the only positive for me.

First time my wife and daughter stopped before our daughter headed overseas for two years in the Peace Corps. Scotty''s is super close and convenient to the airport. Scotty learned of the imminent departure and came with cookies and treats for the long flight! And now this morning it was another airport drop off. It was my turn, dining alone but nothing about a table for one at Scotty's is lonely. The staff are immediately welcoming and every customer is every employee's charge. Four different people helped me or just checked in. The Gina breakfast combos have lots to offer for breakfast. But I was thrilled this 9:30 am to be assured the whole menu was available. I was looking for something less common and was excited to see potato latkes with sour cream and apple sauce as an option. That would have been great but then the waitress (Salome maybe) said, "Do you like corned beef?" The Schmoozer is 3 enormous latkes with thinly shaved and lightly grilled corn beef on top with an over easy egg atop that. Seriously, I can declare victory for finding something I'd never had before. Never would have found it without the nudge. Had to cut myself off with all the coffee offers. Just a great vibe. You rarely see a 4.9 rating and even more rarely that high based on so many reviews. But I understand why - like in so many things in life, it is about the people. And the joy they bring to every conversation. And I will just add, in this age when some would divide us, this dining room is filled with all manner of folks, reveling together over food in fellowship.
