Skinner's Pub — Restaurant in Brookings Township

Thought I liked the place. Thought they had a great tap list. Staff was unfriendly. First bartender had few words. Left. Second guy came in and was not much better. Ordered boulevard’s Oreo stout, “stuff of legend” and it came out clearly not the right beer. Like a chili ale. Transparent in color. Tasted like peppers not Oreos. Asked the bartender what beer it was and he insisted it was right. He even went down and checked the lines, which I appreciated, and said it was right. He then sent a guy who was sitting at the bar, clearly inebriated and frustrated, Riley was his name. He went downstairs and did the same thing and insisted it was right. I fully believe them it is mislabled. But I just wanted to let them know that it was a different beer and they refused to believe me and became quite rude. Bartender ignored us until time to pay and Riley acted like he wanted to fight me. Both insisted it was the ABV that made it taste that way. I’ve had over 4,500 unique beers and I can assure you abv does not make an Oreo stout change colors and flavor. Even after showing Riley pictures of the beer he continued to get mad at me. So frustrated his girlfriend had to escort him out. Meanwhile, I am just the customer, visiting this town, trying to try the beers they have. No reason for me to be treated this way. Tipped them way more than they deserve and will not be back. Nor would I ever...

Pretty good bar. My favorite in Brookings. It’s more laid back and not as rambunctious and loud as some other bars here.

You can have a conversation with people here. If you want to just grab a beer with a friend and catch up, I recommend this place.

Three pool tables here (costs $1.50 to play a game) and a fooseball table ($0.50 for two balls I believe).

Of the three bartenders I’ve encountered here so far, all three are good and social people. This place must hire great bartenders.

Surprisingly, this bar also has cheaper prices than other bars in town. In my opinion, this place is literally the best in...

I think this is a great place to grab a few drinks and hang out. They have decent prices and great specials. The bartenders are always friendly and helpful. The only downside is it's usually pretty packed and the service can be backed up on busy days. The crowd also creates a lot of volume. If you like the full bae atmosphere, which a lot of people do, the weekends are great here. Otherwise, Wednesday and Tuesday night's are...
