    Pizza and burger
    Olivia B.

    Solid local place for drinks and quick food. The wings were really good, recommend the sticky Guinness sauce! Pizza was better than expected for an Irish pub place. There was only one person taking care of the bar and all the tables... she was killing it!

    Great new spot, nicely renovated, friendly staff, nice dining area, patio and bar and clean spotless bathrooms. Food was excellent Patty melt seasoned and cooked to perfection ,Grilled Reuben and fries were great as well. Stopped in on a Sunday night so ticket times on food was over 30 minutes, but those things will be worked on as Skeffs get going. Can't wait to come back. Chef Speciality egg rolls are always unique. Sold out of those. Looking forward to many return visits.

    Kettlehead - Fantastically

    Definitely a place you need to check out. The food is delicious. The craft beer section is decent for sure. Went on a dismal recent Pats loss. The crowd was good and attentive.

    Awesome patio with nice chairs and tables! Umbrellas at the ready to be deployed!

    What a great place! The owners have done a fantastic renovation. This used to be one of the older bars in the city and now it is bright and vibrant! It has basically an open floor plan but there is seating around that gives the feel of your own space to visit with friends. Tonight was my first time in here and I was watching people order fried whole belly clams, lobster rolls, Guinness beer, and also there was a trivia for music bingo that started. The place is fantastic the prices were great! It also appears that every night there's a different event going on!

    Peanut Butter Porter and a really nice pub atmosphere.

    Skeff's, in any other town, would be billed as a "gastropub"--that is, a bar that cares about and serves really delicious food. Somehow, in the back of this unassuming little bar there's a magician doing prep, creating really interesting recipes, and making a go of doing something really fun and interesting. On our recent visit we tried some of the rotating types of egg rolls--ours were filled with artichoke dip and they were piping hot and tasty. We also had a cheesesteak and the fried chicken sandwich, and both were outstanding. The cheesesteak would have made Philadelphia proud, and the chicken sandwich was so juicy and flavorful. Oh, and they cook these shoestring fries that are fantastic--crunchy and hot, and they'll toss them with one of several different seasonings. There's also interesting beers and cocktails on offer, in addition to lots of old reliables. To top it off the person behind the bar was super friendly and knew the menu and the bar up and down. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Here in EP where options are minimal, it's great to have not only one more but one that's truly good.

    Have been wanting to try this place as it just opened up within walking distance of our house. We were very happy we did! The food was awesome and reasonably priced. The service was friendly and attentive. Good drink and beer selection. Wonderful outdoor patio to enjoy on warmer nights. What's not to love! Highly recommend Skeff's!

    Ordered the bbq rib special

    Great beer options and seasonal menu. Server was great and I'm looking forward to trying other food items as the seasons change.

    The place looks awesome... New neighborhood bar.

    New neighborhood bar. Amazing service. Cleanliness and "brightness" is a surprising turn-around. Food is amazing! Thank you for a great time!!!!

    We were going to the Comedy Connection and got there early. We stopped here which is next door…read more This visit we just went for drinks. Inside was nice with a large bar, high top tables and then some lounge chair seating. When I went to the bathroom, I discovered they had an outside patio with table and chairs. We ended up sitting out here and enjoyed it. The drinks were good but my favorite part was they have games to use while at the establishment. We chose the hook and ring toss game but they had cards and I think chess too. We did not have food on this visit but would come back to try it. It is a good place to go before or after going to the Comedy Connection.

There were a few 1s and 3s, and if you dig deep, they were not reliable reviews. Anyways, if you come here knowing that it is a bar and lounge with limited menu for food, but good selection of canned and draft beer, plus full bar, then you will be happy. We had the nachos with BBQ pulled bork, and lemon pepper dry rub wings. The rating for these are solid 4, not like the 3s some folks left. The only thing that prevents them from attaining 5 is the attention to details and care that it takes to make them true 5 stars. But again, this a a bar and lounge. I think it would not matter much if come here later in the evening, after you have been to dinner elsewhere, and want to hang out with your friends with late night snack and drinks. I thought the service was friendly but a bit relaxed, but again, if you come here to chill, being the "relaxed" atmosphere will not upset you. If you want a speedy and attentive service, this place is not it. We did enjoy the vibe though. Probably a good place to come before or after the show at Comedy Connection next door.

We were absolutely blown away by the quality and taste of all of their dishes -- everything was packed with authentic, bold flavors that had us savoring every bite. Here's what we ordered: - Steamed little necks and linguica in tomato sauce - Stuffies - Calamari with hot peppers - Shrimp Mozambique - Pan seared scallops in a lemon garlic parsley butter sauce - Grilled octopus with roasted sweet potatoes and garlic toast - Margarita flight - Espresso martini Our personal favorites were the grilled octopus and the steamed little necks but we honestly loved everything we tried! To top it all off, the service was outstanding. Tyler, the manager, was so welcoming and gave us some incredible recommendations. You can really feel how much the team cares about what they're creating, and that passion shines through in every dish and every interaction. Berta, the owner, is doing something truly special here, and this is definitely a spot you need to check out!

We ordered the nachos with everything, who put balsamic vinegar on nachos??? Not a great choice and the guacamole was very salty. I ordered the smelts that were supposed to be served with a vinegar based sauce and fava beans. I like both so why not. It came with seven smelts and three fava beans but plenty of cold vinegar sauce and onions. The sauce should've been warmed up, not so greasy and more beans. I think the smelts were $15, which was fine if it was what was listed on the menu. I'm hoping it was an off night, I know food costs are through the roof and I don't mind paying for great food but this wasn't it, tonight. Maybe the new owner wasn't onsite, we will give it one more chance.
