2 reviews for Skybox Grill & Tavern
I've been driving by this place for months now since I moved in the area and finally ventured in last night with a friend. It's definitely larger inside than it looks from outside! Sure, it's still a small neighborhood bar but just not tiny like I expected, which is a good thing.
Walking in there are booths to the left and right, and on the right the bar with stools around it as well. There looked to be four or five tvs but I can't say for sure since half of them I glimpsed in the reflection of the mirrors or window. I wasn't there to watch any sports but I did catch some hockey on one and was very happy to see each tv had a different channel/sport going on, including boxing. I think this is a huge *bonus* point as I really dislike going to a sports bar and there's only one or two games going on the gazillion screens.
We didn't eat any meals but had some kick ass drinks and an appetizer. If you like strong drinks this is the place to go! I actually felt a buzz after two drinks last night and it usually takes at least four elsewhere. More kudos: when we ordered drinks they asked if we had any particular preferences in brand.
The mozzarella triangles were so yummy I see myself visiting often just for them. We got three, but they were large, half-circle shaped, at least twice the usual mozzarella stick. During happy hour at half off ($7.99 original) they were totally worth it.
Skybox is definitely a place I can see going to by myself after a long day of work. I'd give a 4 1/2 stars if possible only because the crowd was a bit loud so it was kinda hard to hear at times. The music on the other hand, was awesome. Music was from XM stations and up until the last half hour it was rock/alternative, then it was switched to reggae. A good variety, not too loud but overall the music set a great "chill" mood.
A perfect place to hang out with friends and even small groups. If you're loud, you'll fit in, as the bartender wasn't exactly quiet himself.
Good times!
Impressed! Although it was a Monday night, there were a few people there and some drink specials. The bartender was a total sweetheart and the outside patio is small but has a cute ambiance to it. It's close to home so I'll check it out again eventually when it might be a bit busier. Try the Scooby Snack - amazing!
