Cozy Sunnyside pub with friendly bartenders, live music, and a broad American menu; food quality is mixed but value can be good via specials and portions.
The Skillman delivers solid neighborhood pub appeal with warm, inviting design and genuinely friendly service, but variable food execution—particularly on burgers and steaks—prevents higher grades. Pub staples like fish and chips and shepherd pie earn consistent praise, yet the kitchen's inconsistency and local-focused rather than destination appeal keep this a reliable neighborhood spot rather than a standout dining destination.
One caveat: Burger and steak temperatures occasionally miss the mark
