We’ve been to Skully’s Music Diner several times now and each time we’ve had a blast. The drinks are reasonably priced and it’s a very cool place to hang with your friends. The staff is very friendly as well! My girl and I really enjoy hearing local music and this is also great place to do so. We were there the other day and saw The Flex Crew. It’s great to have another place supporting local musicians. You should look into getting Master T.C. and The Visitors to play. They are an amazing local band we see a lot and they are one of the best bands around Ohio. They also do acoustic stuff. They would really bring in a nice crowd in would fit in great with the ambience. Skully’s Music Diner has an awesome, clean atmosphere and there seems to be something exciting always going on. We hang out near the Columbus area a lot and will definitely be back. The food is pretty damn good for bar food as well! Thank you for always making this a great experience for us!
Great place to hang out good beer selection great staff good music and the food is great as well
Great staff, production, and food! The variety of artists they bring in is awesome and I never have to worry about my safety here. Best mid-size venue in Columbus HANDS DOWN!!!
It is nice and roomy it has a back patio for smoking a bar on the patio bar on the dance floor and a bar of front
Legit love this bar, we frequent shows and events in Columbus and this bar always is the best venue for both music and drinks, the evening bartenders are the best & don't skimp you on the drinks for the price you're paying, and the evening security crew is bomb as well, always protecting anyone in need and removing anyone who may need to be :)
This is my favorite place in Cbus. The bartenders are fabulous. The music is always rocking and the crowd is fun!
Great place to catch a show. Killer sound system and light show. A good mix of local and national acts come through. Drinks are reasonably priced and service is fast.
So great. Nice staff, yummy food. Awesome place to see a show. Will be back!
Manager John Vishack cleared us to shoot a pretty complex video at Skully's during their Ladies 80s night. Throughout the night he and his entire staff worked with us tightly; allowing us space to shoot while keeping the patrons happy during some our more intense shooting. We're extremely thankful and humbled by this venue's hospitality.
Awesome food! The prices are great and the staff is always good and friendly. Get the stuffed pretzel bites!!!!
I Like it!!!. I have had everything from a burger to their cajun calamari which is really good!!!!!!!!!!!
Try it in the daylight. Honestly, if you haven't been here for a meal, you're missing out. Delicious sandwiches and seasoned fries - almost makes you forget your last drunken Ladies' 80s evening (if you were able to remember it at all).
The half-pound cheeseburger with pepperjack cheese satisfied my burger-craving and the curly fries added some "fun" to the plate.
Was a great venue for a smaller concert. Was my first time here. Main reason for 4 stars is the bathroom definitely needs some work.
It was a pretty cool venue and nice Bartenders. It can get pretty crowded depending on the performer, but you still get pretty good views wherever you stand there. Go early, because parking can get to be hard to find if you're trying to be right next to the venue.
Went to Skully’s for the Damn Girl event. Nice mixed crowd of people, a large dance floor an upstairs bar and lounge and an outdoor space with a bar. Admission was free before 11.
The music was mostly 70s which was a vibe. Would have liked some more songs with lyrics.
I usually go here for either Space Camp or Ladies 80s. I have also attended for other concerts as well. The parking isn't great so, if you can, carpool or get there early.
The last time my friends and I went to Ladies 80s, the DJ was not great. I think he may be a new DJ than who they had before. He played a lot of songs that were definitely 80s, but not bangers. He may be new, so no worries.
I attended the Scarface concert last night and everything was so professional. I appreciated the security who actually checked individuals to ensure safety. The opening acts and DJ were really talented and I was entertained and Scarface did not disappoint at all as he was genuine and appreciative to the fans. This being his farewell tour made it even more special for me since it was my uncle was passed away that introduced me to his music!!! Great venue
I was here in Sept 2022 for the Front 242 show. No issues with checking in and getting the wrist band since there were no actual tickets. Was even allowed to leave to go across the street to the burger joint and come back. Show was great. Very small stage and venue overall so that made my 1st time seeing 242 even better. My only concern was the lack of security screening. There was absolutely no checking of bags and purses, no wanding of anyone. In todays environment of high crime and such and especially with this venue's location, they really need to have security measures in place. You can bet I had my escape route planned as I was waiting for the show to start.
So I came here to see Haarper, sinister and Sxmpra perform. It's a nice little place located close to ohio state university. From what I'm told they normally have food but the people I went to see are more of a jumping mosh pit style of music so there wasn't any food available. They had the bar open though so that was a big plus and it brings me to the reason why I didn't give a 5 star...it was crazy hot the whole time we were in there. Every performer said something about it and needed alot of water to help them get through it. And a person literally had to be taken outside from how hot it was! But luckily the security was fast and helped and got her some water. But when I got the bar for some water i was expecting 2 cold bottles of water...no 2 small cups of water...but hopefully the take better measures to realize it gets hot and sometimes people may need water if they don't have money. Overall though I'd highly recommend going here to see anyone live the sound system is good and everyone is very professional...now I gotta come back and try the food.

My first time here was 7/27/22, when I saw Princess Goes to the Butterfly Museum, my favorite band. It was way more spacious than I imagined. The staff was friendly. I will definitely go to more shows here!! Plus, there is a cool vinyl record store beside of Skully's!
Went to watch Citizen Soldier there. It was a great venue.
Jim was Amazing and so accommodating to everyone. It's hard to find venues with workers who care about patrons and take time out of their busy shift to answer any questions/concerns. I hope there are more concerts I am able to go to at Skullys just for the staff.
Nice place 1st time going there. I went to see Vedo had a great time, everything was very organized.
Great sound system, well priced drinks, would come back!
This place is great! Good selection on beer and alcohol, easy access to street parking, upstairs and outdoor seating, and lots of events to attend. Came here for a show and it's got a lot of room so you won't feel crowded. It sucks that the road is being worked on at the time being but there were lots of places to park on the street. Will definitely be back!
