The customers and staff are aggressively left wing. LGBT whatever. They try to bully customers. It was awful and I will never go back. The bartender, kimmy stood up for the aggressive woke customers.

This place has gone through a lot of transformations over the years. Recently, they revamped the menu with the help of an amazing chef, and hired a bunch of new FOH staff, and its really really good. The menu is pretty standard bar fare, but all made with love, special seasoning blends in the breading for fried stuff, seriously good execution. If youve ever been here, you know what youre getting into - dive bar vibe with good energy, good people. And now the food and the staff are bringing the whole thing into focus. Its a good time.

The atmosphere died when they fired the best bartender Ive had. Management seems to always get rid of what was working well. I only went for the nice people who worked there and the good karaoke, now everyones gone.

No reason to return. Management fired/pushed out their best employees who MADE the atmosphere what it was. Now its just another boring and forgettable bar- like all the others i cant bother to recall. But hey, they got a new pool table thats sure to always be free, seeing as they just lost most all of their customers. Apparently you can climb on it like a jungle gym too if you dont know how to play!

Not what it used to be. Staff was very friendly and the frosted mugs are still nostalgic for me. Unfortunately, the smoke and dark and dingy atmosphere just miss the mark these days. 25 years ago this was the joint though .

Possibly a gay bar; Drag fashion show. I went there on a Saturday night and it was cross dressers and he-shes. Take a walk on the wild side song....it was like the blue door on Police Academy movie. Captain Harriswell...what went on down there? Dancing sir....mostly just dancing.

Went to Skooners for the first time in years. The place hasnt changed much over the years. Our server, unfortunately I didnt get her name, was trending to every table in the place and did a wonderful job. She made sure ever drink and food order was delivered in a timely manner. The kitchen ran out of cheese so the nachos were just a plate of chips with ground beef, lettuce, and jalapenos. They did come with a side of salsa, not sure if that was because they were out of cheese but the nachos werent bad. The jalapeno poppers which consisted of jalapeno halves, stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in crispy bacon were wonderful.

I ve never been to this side of town until today. My friend invited me to brunch at savage and informed me the parking was terrible. I drove around and thought I found non-towing parking spot. There were 10 spots and only two towing signs. After eating, we went outside and our car was no where to be found. I apologize for taking the 1 of 25 spots that were all empty. At least the towing company is getting business today. I wish I had a zero star option.

If youre looking for a safe, all-ages-friendly (meaning 21 to 101) dive bar, this is it. Theres always an eclectic mix of people from college kids to thirty-somethings, to middle-aged folks and older in there. The menu and prices are worth it and its always a fun time. Warning: this is a dive bar and as such, it is smokey AF! Otherwise, general good times. I will note that if it became non-smoking, I would definitely go more often and change this to 5 stars.
