I like this place! It's fun and has great ambience. But they go out of their way to let you know they are conservative Republicans in this place and it has definitely turned me off from wanting to go there very much. I think just leave the American flags and the politics out of the business... It's really clear that Those are the types of people that are their goal .

Skinflints is incredibly beautiful. The location goes above and beyond with its decor. We went right after Christmas and it just seemed like there was a Santa in every window. We were seated quickly in the back dining area for lunch and ordered drinks and the French Onion Soup, Potato Skins and the Chicken Pot Pie. Drinks arrived quickly and the chicken pot pie was defiantly made from scratch straight out of the oven with some lovely puff pastry. I was a bit surprised about the French onion soup. It defiantly seemed to be made with chicken broth rather than beef and wasn't as flavorful as some French onion soups I've had elsewhere. The potato skins had veleta rather than cheddar and were fine. I was surprised by the service. Our server was able to pick up and drop our food rather quickly but then vanished for a really long time. We were able to finish all of our food and we watched as several people were sat with no attention for over 15 minutes and a few people were waiting to just get change before leaving. Closing out the bill was incredibly slow. Its was a nice atmosphere and I'll probably come back and just sit at the bar. I'm sure someone called out. I do wish the menu had more vegetarian options.

Beautifully decorated for Christmas. A must to come and see. It was nice and crowded but cozy- we were able to catch a seat at the bar. Service was great. Bartenders were friendly and calm despite the crowd. Burger was good and short ribs were even better - food is solid. I wish they had drink menu for cocktails and beer. No seasonal drinks. I think room to improve is here but nonetheless they Deserve 5 stars.

Went on Christmas eve at about 5pm and there was no wait. Decorations are very over the top but in the best way. Towards the end of our meal it got very crowded and service started to get slow but it was expected for the day so we weren't complaining. Our server was doing his best and was as attentive as possible. The food all came out piping hot. Coconut shrimp was somehow the favorite of the night. The chicken pot pie was highly recommended and the presentation was great but could use more seasoning. About halfway through it gets pretty bland. I'm definitely willing to come back to see other seasonal decorations and maybe try some other food

Cool bar/restaurant! The Christmas decorations were amazing and the service was great. We had to wait 40 minutes for a table but we just hung at the bar. Prices were reasonable. I had the french onion soup and it was perfect. Potato skins were just okay. A must see for the Christmas decorations.

I love the vibe of this place especially during the holidays with a floating train, giant Christmas soldier, ornaments and lights decorated through the restaurant/pub. Such a lively atmosphere with a great pour. Lots of beer on draft and cocktails to be made. Food is really good and not a bad price. My favorites are the mussels, French dip sandwich, and pasta. Calamari is ok , portion wasn't too big. Lovely staff and lots of cheers. This place gets packed on the weekends. If it's warmer out, they have a lot of outdoor seating.

It is more like a 3.5 than a four star review. Unfortunately due to the fact I cannot give half stars, this is what I have to work with. The burger is of a good size, but it is a little dry and needs more than just lettuce and tomato to bring out the flavor. The cheese draping is nice, and the fries are fresh and taste good, but they do not quite make up for the lack of seasoning this burger needs. I do like the English muffin as a bun. That works incredibly well. I would also recommend adding a fried egg as a topping. That with the English muffin and any burger would make this a burger I would get almost every weekend. The prices are fair too, considering if I were in Manhattan that this is easily a $20 burger. For lunch, it is passable.

Skinflints isn't the most appetizing name, but don't let that deter you from enjoying the establishment. It's part dive bar, Irish pub, sports bar, and vintage restaurant. You can watch the game up front with a rowdier crowd or have a lovely sit down in the back dining room. The food is great at reasonable prices. The service is attentive and friendly. The space is intimate with dim incandescent lighting and stain glass windows, but also eclectic with a miniature train running around a chandelier. The burgers come on English muffins. The zucchini sticks and fish n chips are crispy and not greasy and come with a hearty helping of tartar sauce. The shepherd's pie comes piping hot and will warm your soul on a cold night.
