Skip’s Tavern

We love skips it’s a little hole in the wall with cheap drinks and a pool table. The new owner is cleaning it up very nice. They had carribean jerk grilled food there one day for the game and a new out door TV to watch the game which is Impressive given the whole inside was plastered with dollar bills dating back to before I was born lol .Wish they had craft beers.

Shawn’s review was good. However I decided to give it a try. Knowing what to expect I was prepared for the worst. Actually it was not that bad. It’s a watering hole so I wasn’t looking for a meal. Just pool, drinks, watch a little sports on one of the many Tvs and a little conversation. The bartender was very welcoming and polite. The mixes were really well done. I only had three but tried different types to test each. The pool table though not the best was still playable. It’s not professional grade so not sure I would play if I had money riding on it but for casual play it meets the need. There are no booths or tables, it’s pretty much a BAR. While I was there a few ladies stopped in which made the night memorable. I think with more patronage and advice this place has a lot of potential.

Crappy Dive bar, almost no food!
The category calls Skip’s a restaurant… okay, you can eat a pre-​made frozen pizza (you know the one that fits into the small ⁷⁄₁₁ pizza oven) about 8in round for $ 6 or you can dine on chips, pretzels, or popcorn. That is the extent of Skip’s delicacies. Skip’s will let you bring takeout food into their place!!! That’s the only thing going for them.
The place is right off of middle river road, and while everyone calls it Skip’s (look at my picture), on the sign you can barely see Skip’s name in the fine print, but Checkered Flag stands out monumentally!!!
This seedy little establishment has a humongous bar, a small packaged goods store, Internet capable jukebox, a dartboard game and a single crappy pool table. Alas it is that crappy pool table that brings Sheri and I here on occasion as this place is in our division for APA 9-​ball. The beer and soda are overpriced (last night a bottle of Yuengling and can of diet coke cost $ 4.25, a bit much, unless of course you count the pristine ambiance of Skip’s atmosphere, yeah right!!! You wouldn’t catch me dead in here, except for once in a blue moon pool night.
This is another rendition of: «If you don’t expect much, you won’t be disappointed»!!!
