Loved that the booths had walls, so it made the experience more private. Our table was a tad short, but we made it work. All the food was hot when served. Server was attentive.

Not great. Visited…read moreHarwood Arms for one of the FIFA game watch parties and yeah, don't bother. I don't think Harwood Arms was prepared for how many people were going to show up- it seemed completely disorganized, chaotic, and just ridiculous. We were sitting down at one of the tables outside in the alley area and the walkway was clear- at first. After the game had actually started, I guess they just let everyone in and the entire walkway was PACKED with people to the point that our once clear view of the TV, was gone in an instant. As the night progressed, obviously a girl has to pee, so as I was walking into the actual restaurant/ pub to use the bathroom and I guess the "bouncer" stuck his arm between me and the door and dismissively said I couldn't go in. Excuse me? After telling him I literally have a table outside, he yanks at his collar and speaks into his little walkie talkie asking if there's a table of 4 outside under my name. Sorry, I didn't know I was watching the Mexico game at the freakin White House surrounded by Secret Agents. Give me a break. So when he magically confirms I have a table (because I do), he lifts up his arm and gives me the ALL CLEAR! It's actually funny looking back at it. But give me a break. When going back outside to sit at my table, the same bouncer/ Secret Agent/ FBI dude gives attitude to my boyfriend and myself for the commotion caused earlier. The actual police officer next to him told us it's ok and to just have a good time. The only nice thing someone said to us and he doesn't even work at Harwood Arms lol. To management, if you do not want people "off the street" to go in and out of your pub or inside to use your bathrooms, then I don't know- maybe come up with a wristband method so your paying customers can smoothly go in and out to use your bathrooms? Just a thought. OR just don't be unwelcoming to people that are actively spending money at your pub. Harwood Arms was NOT prepared at all for the high velocity of people coming in to watch the FIFA games. Quite frankly, it was a MESS. I did visit Bar W a few days after that and had a MUCH BETTER experience-- go there instead.

Nowhere on the menu was it mentioned there would be a credit card fee, nor was it articulated by a bartender. That sort of fee makes me wonder what's going on in this establishment.

I LOVE SKELLIG Besides the service industry discounts, what brings me back every time is the staff. They're incredibly welcoming, super friendly, and always take care of me when I come in. They've always been so kind to me and they are what keeps me coming back. They don't feel like my bartenders, they feel like my friends and you don't get that kind of treatment many places!! Forever recommending Skellig Months later: I STILL LOVE THIS PLACE!! the bartenders are amazing, kind, and on top of their game. They never met you down even if their busy. Their old fashions are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Ian, Elizabeth, Ricky, Lauren, and Stephen are phenomena!!! (They all are actually, so if I left you out I'm sorry!) Love you all!! read more

Wow, why isn't 0 stars ever an option? Beware Oklahoma 21 years olds! The staff and manager can't tell a fake ID from a real ID! Don't waste your time here. In town from out of state for a 21st B-day celebration, and happened on this place. The manager came to our table and accused all three of us, who are all 21, of having fake ID's and would not serve us alcoholic beverages! What's the point of checking ID's when they still won't serve you, even when you present legal proof of age? These are state issued Oklahoma driver's licenses!! The manager said 'you girls look pretty young', and ignored that fact that 21 is 21 no matter how young it looks!!! Very poor management, very poor! read more

The only reason I will not give 5 stars is because at 9:45 the new server told us that we would have to leave at 10:00 PM for the next reservation.
