    Hot in more ways than one....
    Great atmosphere! Love, love, love the indoor and outdoor space. The dj was phenomenal. The bartenders were incredible The only issue..... and to me it's a big one, was the heat in the indoor space. The fact that there's only two 'window-type' aircondiioning units in a space that large is ridiculous. I enjoyed myself because part of our group camped out in front of one of the air-conditioners most of the night. The other people in our group left looking like they'd just finished a 2-hour long Zumba class.

What a Joke
May 2018 • Friends
This place is such a joke. Don’t waist your time. There is a reason anyone riding a Harley is down the street at Skallywag.

Stoped in today Memorial Day. The were just starting to open and the girl behind the bar was a total If I owned the place I would fire her rear end right on the spot.

Came down to Skallywag greatest with smiles and positive attitudes.

Local money must keep it going.

Awesome Time!
May 2015 • Friends
Great place to hang out with friends/family for a drink. Great atmosphere!! Tiki huts outside are a perfect spot to relax. Sean is an awesome bartender! Music was great. Drinks are yum. Drive up on a motorcycle for perfect parking.
