Good happy hour. Most enjoyable. Nice staff. Patio where you can hear your friend's talking. Fish and chips and Mexican fried chicken taco are the places to start. read more

Terrible service and bouncers that love to assert their ego for the smallest of issues. However I cannot deny the chicken tendies are on point. read more

We had tacos, queso & loaded fries on the late night menu... everything was awesome! The bartenders Ian talked us into the late night menu and he wasn't wrong.. these tacos are dang good! Steven, Ian, & Ben rocked the bar as our group sat and enjoyed food and drink. The skellig has staying power and this place is a Dallas jewel. If you haven't been- go. It's great! read more

Oh my stars stripes, have you met Payton$? (I pray I am spelling her name right). This person was the most on top of it waitress I have ever met! It's not often you meet such a sweetheart yet is so laser focused on drink orders and personalities. The girls were jealous yet still crumbled their hearts all over the table at the end, because sweet Payton$ won all our hearts over in the end. I will never be the same after this experience. Thank you Skellig. Thank you God. Thank you Payton$. read more

Very unimpressed. My fiancé and I went here for college game day. We asked 4 different people to change one of the TVs to the Baylor game, all who said "sure" and never did. Also half the workers are high out of their minds. Pretty sure the server didn't even know he was supposed to be waiting tables at one point. The bar tender also wouldn't take my drink order because she said someone would come by our table. 30 minutes went by and no one came. I have nothing to say about the food or drink quality because after 30 minutes of waiting, someone finally tells us "we don't get ESPN+" so we couldn't watch the game and we stormed out of that hell hole. read more

Super fun bar! The line was down the block but moved unexpectedly fast. There is a bar inside and outside, which makes it easy to get a drink. read more

Hands down, The Skellig is one of my favorite spots in Dallas. It's a cozy pub with great drinks and their food is excellent. The cheeseboard might be my favorite in town because of the mini brats and honey mustard sauce... perfection. Super fun to try their seasonal hot drinks in the winter (tequila spiked mexican hot chocolate is incredible). The skellig is the sister bar of Old Monk, but with more seating and new outdoor fireplaces. They have great weeknight specials, tvs to watch a game, and something for everyone on their drink and food menus. read more

I broke a heel on New Years and one of the managers, Charles saw and came up to me and said if I wanted to go home and change I could and pay the new over and wait in line I could-- went home and changed and put on tennis shoes I could (lol) Went home and put on tennis shoes. When I got back the line was out the door and he saw me and said, "Come here! You were the girl with the shoe that broke, go right back in." Just have to leave a review to say he didn't have to do that for me and the staff are great people, thank you for great service. Peace and love. read more

Came here for a couple of drinks with the hubby and friends- their signature drinks did NOT disappoint!

The Skellig is an awesome chill and casual bar. I go there almost once a week and they have good Thursday specials on drinks. I have had their chicken tender basket and it is to die for. Something they do to their tenders that make them so crispy and good. They also have a great selection of beers. read more

Definitely one of my favorite bars to get an early start to the weekend - Thursday night specials bring in a lot of people, and you can't go wrong with any of the cocktails on the list. The atmosphere is uniquely lively, but dark and moody at the same time. There's plenty of seating at the bar or at tables around the periphery, but patrons stand around and are pretty sociable. I wouldn't mind becoming a regular here! read more

Bartenders are awesome & attentive! Huge bar; my issue with the bar area would be the lack of TVs. It's not very conducive to watching more than one football game or basketball game at a time. Happy hour is great for the sheer fact that freshly fried bacon flavored potato chips & chipotle lime peanuts are complimentary! They aren't from a bag people - real deal! We snacked on the Beer Companion Board & it was awesome! The jalapeño cheese brats were perfectly crisp & the pretzel bread was warm & surprisingly light. The beer cheese however was highly disappointing, it had zero flavor & was actually pretty awful. We will be back for sure! read more

Met my daughter and son in-law here for some drinks on the patio. What a nice surprise. Had a very hip/eclectic crowd and our waitress Adella was amazing. It was a Sunday afternoon and very busy but she was right on top of things with a great attitude. If you're in the Knox/Henderson area check it out. read more

Fish & Chips were ok paired with shoe string/skinny fries. Ordered the mini chicken avocado sandwiches as appetizers. Those were pretty good. Our bartender was cool and I like the fact the TVs were situated perfectly around the bar. It's definitely a place I'd go back to for the atmosphere and great beer choices. Lots of good beers on tap. read more

See all

Met up with some girlfriends that were already in line and joined them but the bouncer kicked me out of the line bc he insisted that I had to wait all the way in the back. My whole group wasn't going to let me stand alone so they had to leave and waste the hour that they had already waited. Bouncers seemed to be on some sick power trip. read more

I ordered a bottle of Prosecco for my friend and I and got the wrong bottle (no wine presentation) but she just opened it and gave it to us and walked away. We poured it not knowing at first it was the wrong bottle and after taking a sip we realized it was not what we ordered. I tried to drink it but it was so sweet I couldn't so I had told the bartender that I ordered a bottle of Prosecco and she responded with "okay well idk wines that good and idk if we even have that but I'll check." She came back and said they didn't have it so we had asked if we could get a different wine and she said we would have to pay full price and offered us free shots. Um no thanks we would like what we ordered and not a random bottle that you think will work cause you don't know your wines good. Absolutely ridiculous. Educate your bartenders. We will not return. read more

Bad experience all together. After waiting in line for 20+ minutes we entered the bar to a shoulder to shoulder crowd. The space was at capacity. When we tried to make our way to the patio we encountered a line to get through a simple doorway. We said excuse me to another patron which quickly tuned into a misunderstanding. The patron ended up squeezing her entire drink in my face. As this happened bouncers showed up and escorted me and my girlfriend out of the bar. Had this been my fault I would not have written the review. Awful experience. I hope to never be back. read more

Great spot, would definitely recommend anyone looking for a nice pub/sports bar to check it out. Great selection of beers and food. The old fashioned is fantastic and the whiskey cheddar double stack burger is a very proper burger! Taylor, one of the bartenders is the biggest sweetheart in the world and she was so thoughtful to write me a list of all the fun places to check out while visiting Dallas for a couple days. I was definitely impressed by this place, especially impressed by the quality of the staff, especially Taylor. Thanks for a good time! read more

Maybe we came on a bad night. OK food but inattentive wait staff... food brought without utensils. No water offered. I had to go to the bar to get water and utensils, while I was up, the waitress finally showed up and took my food away. Everybody likes the chicken. So did we - very juicy and well done. If only the service was a fraction as good. read more

This is the first time I've ever posted on yelp. Whoever the bouncer at the bar was on the night of Friday the 4th did not know how to do his job in the least bit. Turned down the only marine (who serves our country currently) in the group who was 22 and not drunk in the least bit. We were in a group of 15 and decided to move elsewhere to begin our night out. Quite frankly an absolute disgrace on this night. In terms of service and quality of food before this night (about 6 months in March 2022), no where near the quality or service expected in this part or Dallas. Dallas is a big city, I know I will never visit the skellig again and will shout to the rooftops why no one should again. read more

TERRIBLE! Do not waste your time in Dallas here. They have the patio blocked off, which is the center of the bar. If you need to go to the bathroom or have a tab open at the other bar you have to wait twenty minutes to a half hour in another line of shoving people in the center of the bar. They do this because of a "fire Hazzard" outside; however, they create a baracade in front of the door to get outside trapping everyone inside. It is the most poorly planned bar I've ever seen. I spent most of the not separated from my friends. We gave up and left. Any other bar would be better. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend and her dog. We ended up leaving after 30 minutes of no one taking our order or greeting us. We got attention from other patrons because of my friend's dog, so I know we weren't invisible. My friend and I both asked someone outside and someone inside what we needed to do to get service. Maybe they were understaffed due to COVID, but maxed out on the amount of guests? read more

I retuned to this bar after realizing that I had been charged over $9 for a $5 happy hour beer. They of course claimed easy mistake, similar buttons, could happen to anyone. They did refund my money but were extremely aggressive about ejecting me from the bar. Not a good experience, I would avoid at all costs. Both for the risk of being overcharged and aggressive staff. read more

Came here for a birthday brunch and the food was phenomenal! Best item was definitely the bread pudding! Our sever was fantastic and attentive. It does get busy a little after 12 on the weekends for the brunch crowd so I would advise making reservations to be safe. read more

First let me start by saying I love Skellig! My friend and I go all the time and share the cheese board (best cheese board)! Their brunch is great, the atmosphere is great, their sangria is great- crisp and not too sweet. Saturday, I had my first TERRIBLE experience. We tried to go for brunch around 1 pm. I wish I caught our server's name- he was short, bald, apparently always in a plaid shirt. Maybe he was having a rough day, but he was probably the rudest server I've ever had in my life. He was unnecessarily rude. In hospitality, you fake it til you make it. You suck it up and smile even if you don't want to. Needless to say, we ended up leaving and going somewhere else because we wanted to actually enjoy our Saturday afternoon. I will be back but hopefully won't have him as our server. read more

Best bar ever- I love the staff, management, the music (it's awesome), the drink selection (even though all I drink is Mich Ultra 99% of the time), the cleanliness, their newest addition outside (beer garden), and the atmosphere in general. Personally, I prefer it off peak times but I would say that about any bar now that I've passed 30. Skell employees (for the most part) do a great job of connecting with customers and making them feel like a part of the family. If you've had a bad experience in the past, try one more time- I'll bet you change your mind. I've been coming here since before it was even Skellig, and it gets better each year it's open. Best food: buffalo cauliflower tacos, fish & chips, turkey club sandwich and just a side of grilled chicken & avocado... all good choices. I don't like to play favorites, but Taylor, Lauren (little Lauren), Ian, and Brian are prob the most friendly and attentive bartenders. Donovan is awesome too. They're pretty much all great, though, I just know the newest round of bartenders yet. I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet- seriously come and give it a try! read more

I had to get up at 4:30 AM for a flight into Dallas and although I was exhausted by the end of the night, this place made the long day and the ensuing #litiness worth it. My homie got us a round of vodka Red Bulls promptly upon arrival plus some shots of...well, I have no idea but it was such a sincere gesture. Met a couple of their friends from the area and then somehow started talking to a girl that had a wand for some reason so I asked her to holding a knighting ceremony for me on the patio. So I guess I'm now Sir Commish...whatever that means. Anywaaayy, just want to say I enjoyed the vibe and will hopefully be back soon to sample one of your enticing cheeseboards, the chilaquiles, or the corned beef hash. read more

When we first moved to Dallas this was the most recommended bar we heard about. We came with high expectations, but I'd say it's pretty average. If you don't get there by about 10-10:30 the line gets pretty long, and I wouldn't say it's worth the 30+ minute wait. This place definitely has a college bar vibe, which wasn't really for me, but it delivers a pretty reliable experience every time. The drinks are strooong! read more

Exactly what you're looking for in a pub in Dallas. Great beer selection, semi friendly bartenders, and a GREAT patio to watch your favorite sports game or catch up with old friends. Loved my time, loved my beer and I think you will too read more

It's very fun. Love the new outside area. The music is so bad though. Wish they took song requests. The chicken nuggets are so good but good god the music is awful. No one wants to listen to screamo music. My ears might actually be bleeding. Please take song requests at all. read more

Horrible service! We got there and went inside and talked to the people at the bar and it was open seating. So my husband sat outside while I went to the ladies room and when I got back no server had helped him so I went to the bar and ordered our drinks. I asked the bartender if we needed to order from the bar and she said that we had servers at our table and that she would let someone know to come over to get our order. We were there for another 40 mins or so finishing our drinks and still no one came over and said hi or anything so we finished our drinks and left. read more

Decided to stop by since we found out they were also owned by the same people as The Old Monk. Definitely a different crowd than The Old Monk. I will say the food was good, but they didn't have two of the drinks we tried to order off the menu. The waitress was okay, but didn't check back very often. It honestly took a while for her to take our order, so we didn't know if we had to order at the bar or not. I would maybe come back for the food, but wouldn't go out of my way to come here read more

Amazing service. Jessie, you're great!;) Awesome drink selections and food selections!!! It is top notch. I have had : Cauliflower and cheese soup - delicious!!!! And I don't even eat cauliflower. Garden salad - Fresh and crisp. Ranch dressing was tasty. One of the boards w cheese, duck, chicken liver, grapes, and an assortments of bread/crackers. It was fabulous! Cheese's were so yummy and so was the duck! All around loved it. Duck leg entree - Down to the bone delicious. Amazing. Tomato soup - was not as good as the other soup but I don't know if I'm a big tomato soup person. Fried mussels- just yummmmmmmmmm!!! I think we had French fries here too that were the bomb. All in all. This is our new spot. Great seating, lighting, cooling/heating, entertainment, service and food! read more

So much better than J Blacks, the bar they replaced. They have several craft beers on tap, but not enough. I had something that was like a Ruben, but I hated it. No Russian dressing, but instead something made from Saurkraut. It was not good. My buddy really liked his chicken sandwich. Our server was super nice (and super hot). A little on the loud side for my taste. Plenty of other places within walking distance. Parking is a drawback as valet is likely your only option. We took an Uber there, so that wasn't an issue. Cool place. read more

The Skellig - Perfection - Pubs Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Place is usually ridiculously crowded on the weekends with drunkards abound. It's noisy as all get out. The food is 'meh' and nobody is in a hurry to get to you even if you are at the bar. Prepare to be roundly ignored. All that said, good special on Old Fashions on Thursday and, during the day, not a bad place to hang. read more

This place is great (a huge improvement from the old J Blacks)! We came here on Halloween, sat at the bar and had a couple drinks and snacks. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The one gentleman that waited on us was very passionate about their concept. He told us everything is made in house and when we got our food, you could tell. We ordered the pâté, cured salmon and the fried chicken biscuits. While they we're all delicious, it was the fried chicken biscuits that stood out as fantastic. If you go (and you should) you absolutely must order them. We'll be back very soon and I hope this place has a long life on Henderson. read more

Rolled into the very loud bar after dinner at Gemma - although I filled a tad over-dressed (and over old), as soon as we eased up to the bar, we felt right at home. Immediately approached by our bartender who took our orders and served us efficiently - nothing fancy; just a gin & tonic for me, a mule for the wife (and thank you Skellig for using Fever Tree products - only the best!). While just staying for one drink, we were left with a very positive perception - great service and drinks, a hip and happenin' atmosphere made it a nice stop before we headed home. read more

Been a regular here for about 6 months and can't say enough about these guys (namely Mike, Dawson, and Elizabeth). Service has always been awesome, and if you want just bar food, or a solid meal, they have great options for both. Everything is cooked fresh and is great quality for a great price. It's a perfect combination of a laid back, yet fun spot to hit up any day of the week. They always have new beers on tap, and are great at making recommendations based on the kind of beer you like. I even recently had my birthday here, which they were great at accommodating the tables, and providing great service. As long as I live in the Knox/Henderson area, this will continue to be my go to spot. read more

After I left the bar, I realized that was left my credit card. I then tried to retrieve my card and the bouncer wound not let me back I do to their busy state. I was then automatically charged on my card on a tab that was not approved by me. I would not recommend this establishment with its shady business practices. read more
