Had high hopes because of the positive average rating but have to say I was left disappointed. The Korean Pork Belly appetizer was really delicious. It had so much flavor with all of the different elements and a great balance with the pear to go with the spice of the kimchi and pickled watermelon rind. So I was excited thinking my Seafood Paella would be equally as flavorful but it sorely lacked in the flavor department. Everything was pretty bland for the most part and the dish simply relied on the different flavors of the different seafoods. Everything was cooked nicely and the food came out hot but it just wasn’t satisfying. My wife did enjoy the halibut she ordered though and it seemed to have a better flavor profile than my dish. We also had to wait what seemed like an inordinate amount of time for our food and I think it was mainly because there was only one server working. The pork belly was good enough for me to consider returning to try other dishes but I’m not going to go out of my way.

Me and a girlfriend went here for an early dinner and drink. We order these cute drinks. A little too sweet for my taste, but still good. The food was great. The fried frie was on point. I also got the pork belly which I loved. I am giving it a 4 star review because the location of this place was surprising. The vibe is relaxed, but also trendy. Parking was great though.

What an absolute revelation! I came here with a coworker for a random Tuesday dinner. We had the pork belly, elk sliders, and birria flatbread. All were lovely. The elk was perhaps a bit dry but still quite nice. We had mains of the ribeye and mushroom risotto. These were both immense dishes! Wrapped up with lavender creme brulee and tres leches. I cannot say how much I loved this out of the way restaurant. Well worth the drive.

My friend brought me here for dinner Saturday night and all I can say is AMAZING! The drinks, food, and the service was impressive! Summer, our bartender was so sweet and personable, we never waited for anything! Definitely will be a favorite spot from now on!

Not really. Kids are allowed during lunch hours but menu is pretty eclectic. Not going to find much in the way of kid friendly foods.

Who originally named Skeeters bar?

N Gilmore | Dec 16, 2018
BAR BISTRO (Owner) | Dec 17, 2018

Not officially sure since we have no affiliation with prior business owners. However my understanding is that the owner back in the 90’s had the nickname of Skeeter and his family and friends encouraged him to name his bar Skeeters Lounge.
