Chris Beadles
8 years agoVery neat "West Coast" style bar. Old wooden bar, large mirror behind bar, two-story building with 1960's and 1970's era musical artist tapestries hanging from ceiling.
Maria Trumbo
8 years agoI am here fairly often and I can't believe the great service and atmosphere! Kat is definitely my favorite servet she takes the time to talk to us and gives us lots of attention and popcorn!
Jason Currie-Olson (Faithful Wanderer)
5 years agoIt has been 20 years since I've been in Skinner's pub. And while it is not the same as when I remember, and really nothing is, it is still a great place to grab a beverage and hang out with some friends. It still has that same warm welcoming environment. It still has that same awesome bar. It still has that same chill, relaxed vibe. If I lived in Brookings, it would be my go-to place to hang out.
Sasha Brandt

Leah Brink
5 years agoAlways friendly, always fun. Great service, great drinks, knowledgeable bartenders and customer-focus! Historical charm and the best outdoor patio in TOWN! You want Skinner's for happy hour, live music, game days, and pool!
Calla Bjorklund Jarvie
4 years agoSuch a neat place. This bar has been around since the dinosaurs, and I wouldn't change a thing. It's so dark in there, so who knows if it's night or day. They do have a lovely patio area, so snag a seat there in warm weather. If you are inside, get one of the seats by the big front windows. You can bring food in. Pro tip: Pizza King will deliver!!
