I've driven past Skippers a million times on the way into or out of Oxford and every time my…read morethoughts were that I've got to check this place out some day. Today was the day! I started smiling as soon as we walked in. Such a cool and fun atmosphere. Chicago sports memorabilia everywhere you look along with Chicago food favorites on offer. The bar is old and wooden with comfortable seats. It has a really nostalgic feel, like an urban neighborhood pub from decades ago. Plenty of tables, and I've heard rumors of an upper deck that is open at appropriate times. There is also outdoor seating on High Street. The atmosphere is undoubtedly very different on a Friday night when it's packed with upper classmen throwing back shots, but on a weekday late afternoon suppertime I'd say it's family friendly and welcoming to all. (I even saw a sign behind the bar: No explicit lyrics before 9 pm.) There were several staff members at work either making food or behind the bar. They were all quite young, and quite friendly and cheerful. I'm holding off on the fifth star till we get a chance to try the food. We had already eaten and just stopped for a couple of beers (a Truth and a Mich Ultra, on tap). But now I'm writing this I'm getting a serious craving for Italian Beef, so hope to be back soon.

She ordered the Malbec and raved about how smooth and rich it was, while I tried the Owlfather--absolutely delicious! Hands down one of the best cocktails. We also shared the bruschetta and stuffed mushrooms--both were packed with flavor and perfect for snacking. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Bonus: it's conveniently located near a bunch of hotels, which makes it a perfect stop if you're visiting the area and want something local without the usual chain feel. Definitely worth checking out if you're in West Chester!

Atmosphere here is really cool. There's a couple rooms decorated with cool paintings. It has a pretty large selection of beers. It doesn't make any of these in house. They have a few local beers including the Middletown Brewing Company collaboration with True West, the coffee stout. It's about $5 for a 16 ounce. This is strong and thick. It tastes a lot like an iced coffee. The rest of the beers on tap are mainly from the Cincinnati or Dayton breweries including MadTree and Warped Wing. The atmosphere is the best among the bars. It doesn't get more relaxed. There is usually a show every weekend.

They offer $12 flights so you can try a few. Today we shared sauerkraut balls which are crispy out, soft and tangy in, complemented by a very tasty creamy mustard sauce. You get eight in the order and they are plenty big. My husband got the avocado bacon burger which was a delight for the eyes as well as the palate. It must have been a half pound and done to perfect medium as requested. I was in a bratwurst and potato pancake mood and after the app I was craving more sauerkraut, so I went for the King Ludwig. This is listed under Sandwiches but believe me, this is knife and fork, and you might also need a ladder. This dish could feed three people. Big thick brat sausage patties and huge potato pancakes. Delicious! Pro tip: ask for some sour cream and some of that mustard aioli. The beer cheese that it comes with is good but didn't seem to go with this particular dish. I dipped some chips in it instead. This was our second visit. Glad to finally return. It can be an adventure getting here, not the least of which is the parking nightmare of Oxford. The descent of the iron railed stairs is kind of fun. There is a handicapped access at the rear of the building, leading to an elevator, but it's designed for wheelchairs or scooters because the ramp is very long. For a person with mobility difficulty who can still walk, this would be a very long walk and they'd probably do better with the stairs. My husband has this issue and he concurred. The wait staff is young and enthusiastic, neatly attired, and so very kind and helpful. The German decor is delightful. What a treasure! Get down here, you'll be glad you did.

We had the Mac & cheese bites as an appetizer. There is a burger with Mac and cheese bites on it which I heard is really good but I didn't want to have too much of a good thing. The waiter recommended an onion and jam burger even though I told him that I didn't like onions. He said there weren't any onion pieces in there so I took his word. The burger had a light, sweet and very tasty flavor. It didn't need any ketchup. The rest of the family had burgers and chicken fingers and everything was good.
