We had an amazing first lunch in St. Pete at Skulley’s. The food and drinks were amazing, and dolphins swimming by made it an experience comparable to no other. Our serve Casey was so nice! Very professional and knowledgeable about the menu. Thank you Casey!!! We’ll definitely be back.

Fun place for a late night meal with good service, a lively friendly clientele of mostly locals and excellent karaoke. Every person who got up to sing did great and or had a great voice! Really, so impressed to see so many talented singers & we had an enjoyable night! Service was excellent, our burger & garlic Parmesan wings were tasty , cooked perfectly and came out piping hot. The DJ/announcer was excellent and brought a lively upbeat vibe. Great bar tenders! This place should be a must on your bucket list if you’re in the area.
