    Best brunch spot around this area! We go here almost every weekend. My favorite dish is the chicken and biscuits definitely need to try! The traditional breakfast and breakfast tacos are my friends and family’s favorites. Mimosas are good and the service is always on point.

    The door guy who was working Saturday night was extremely hateful and has major incel vibes. He is mean to women. Why would a business allow their first point of contact of their business (the door guy) to be mean to people attempting to enter their business?. Might want to reconsider. Dallas has a million other bars with less hate meeting you at the front, we will go elsewhere from this point on. BEWARE LADIES!!!

    7$ beer in a chipped glass. When I mentioned the chipped glass, my beer was poured to a different glass instead of being served a new one. Also, no itemized receipt, so if you’re accidentally overcharged you won’t know. Fried chicken is pretty good.

    DO NOT EVER GO HERE. i have been to this establishment 3 times and out of the 3 times i have gone here, they have fraudulently charged me $96 dollars the first time and $119 the second time. It is beyond disappointing and ridiculous that this is how they “value” their customers. I came here to enjoy a night with a couple family members in town to continually have to turn off my card because of their lack of security and how they do not value their customers. I shouldn’t be afraid to order a $10 drink because I think over $100 will disappear from my account. Whatever card system they use saves everyone’s card information after speaking with my bank, so BE CAREFUL before they screw you over too and you are out $200 in 2-3 weeks… I spoke to the manager immediately and have not heard back from him in days. I will not return to this establishment and I hope the rest of you take my advice! I am appalled by Skellig and their employees and every moral characteristic they lack!

    It was my first time here and we went during the day. We were going somewhere that doesn't get too crowded. We also had an amazing waitress named Kassandra. Her smile was beautiful, and she recommended us plenty of choices they offered. Her service was great. The food was good. We will definitely come back and hopefully we get to run into our new favorite waitress.

    The tacos and 'el chapos' are a great combination here! Great patio spot for those with dogs as well.

    Vibes are immaculate. Chapos are iconic. Happy hour is on point. Staff is always nice. Food is very consistent. 10/10 will be back every weekend.

    Cool place in a cool location. Definitely one of those LOUD bars though. If you're there to talk at a normal volume, good luck. But if that's your vibe then this place is cool.

  • 5/5 Marina S. 4 months ago on Google
    Amazing staff and admin! Food is great as well as the drinks!

  • 1/5 Norma E. 6 months ago on Google
    The bathroom waiting line situation is a mess. On my way back, I was redirected to a long waiting line to re-enter the seating area to be with my party. We had guest from out of town and the line to return back to my seat was at least 25 minutes. When you first arrive, we were not told that we'd have to wait to be re-entered back into our seating area. The establishment is allotted XX amount of people in the main area that we were sitting in (according to city code) so if you go to the restroom, you have to wait in line for people to leave that area so you can get back to your party. I won't be returning.

    Pretty good bar experience! A little crowded and some intense Dallas bro energy iykyk but fun and lively! Our server was fantastic so she would def get 5 stars. I didn’t really get strong Irish energy.

  • 4/5 Rick F. 4 months ago on Google
    This is a good place to eat lunch drink a beer and watch football games. Pleasant atmosphere and it is family friendly. Prices are reasonable as well.

  • 3/5 Bobby C. 3 months ago on Google New
    I thought the place was good. It was a really closed area place so not the greatest for going out. The worst was definitely the crummy people working there. They have no respect and are very self entitled.

  • 5/5 paul r. 4 months ago on Google
    Great space and great food. Servers were so nice and accommodating. We had a big party and they were excellent. Definitely coming back.

  • 5/5 James F. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful bartenders and servers, great service, cold drinks and many laughs. Highly recommend sitting at the bar and making new friends

    Came at the right time on a Saturday night. We arrived around 10pm and was able to walk in fairly quickly. We left around 11 and there was already a long line waiting to get in. Got a Moscow mule and loved it. They take tap to pay so it's pretty nice. Parking can be difficult around the neighborhood but they do offer valet parking, which helps.

    Great atmosphere and always a great staff. Will was our bartender for the World Cup game, and he was wonderful.

  • 4/5 Francisco V. 1 year ago on Google
    Like the place. First time coming, watch the game had great food will come again. Also tried the El Chapo drink and it was wow

  • 5/5 Mike W. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a great time for drinks and mingling... even really good food. Favorite spot.

  • 4/5 Westin V. 1 year ago on Google
    A bit divey and can have rough crowds at time since it’s a lot of drunk college kids but the grilled chicken sliders are amazing and the el chapo shots go down very easy.

  • 5/5 Thomas R. 1 year ago on Google
    The Skellig might be my favorite bar in Dallas. It always has a fun atmosphere in which you can mingle with other patrons and make new friends. Football Saturdays in the daytime are also a great time. This place knows how to create a fun experience. The volume for the music is usually on point, not too loud. They know people would rather hear each other as opposed to trying to shout over the music. The Skellig is always a fun experience, and you will probably also make a few new friends each time.

  • 4/5 Rich B. 1 year ago on Google
    Never seen so many attractive people in one location other than at my college. Bar was super crowded, somewhat difficult to get a drink. Seems like a place to start the night out with friends. It was so loud it was difficult to interact.

  • 5/5 Zakiya B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great customer service, clean atmosphere, delicious drinks, even better music! I’ll definitely be back soon!

  • 5/5 Laura N. 1 year ago on Google
    I loved coming here for happy hour. The prices were great and our server has outstanding recommendations

  • 5/5 Edgar V. 1 year ago on Google
    Good restaurant bar 🍻 in a neat area of Dallas. Good tacos but the Fish and chips will make you ask for more. If you are drinking beer, try the Texas blonde, if you're not drinking beer... Try it anyways 😜 In conclusion, a great place to hang out with friends.

  • 4/5 Estefania B. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a lot of fun with friends! Loved the staff's helpfulness. I even saw one of the waitresses go into the restroom to ask someone that was clearly drunk if they needed help with anything. Very sweet gesture 👏
