★★★★★ 5.0 Mert Kucur · Feb 2026

One of the best places to get breakfast in Sunnyside! Their eggs Benedict, steak and eggs, and berry pancakes are absolutely delicious. Very cozy Irish/American Restaurant Bar with outdoor seating. Their prices are fair for the portions and have a wide selection for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Perfect for large parties or small gatherings. Very friendly staff that is attentive. Highly recommend for a visit!

Okay, you gotta love the Skillman! Patrick, who you will find behind the bar, will always greet you warmly, no matter what. He’s an Irishman with kind eyes and makes you feel like you’re a regular even when it’s your first time. The food is great! I’ve had the chicken, the salmon and lately I’ve been getting the shepherd’s pie🤤. The drinks are good too. Last time Patrick made me a mocktail and it was just so stinkin’ good! I will not lie, I go mostly for the live entertainment. You can find Mike from 8-11pm on Saturdays I believe on the mic singing familiar tunes while strumming his guitar. The ambience is quite nice, low warm lighting, spacious seating. There’s plenty of outside seating, but they also have a garden seating area. The place is available for events too.

If you want the " flair" of a Manhattan restaurant without the " hustle and bustle", try this great venue in Sunnyside, New York. They prepare great drinks, that'll get you primed up for some good eating! And you'll love the service and the prices!!!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Vivianne Barretto · Dec 2023

I liked the space. It reminded me of an old fashioned Tavern. I didn't try any food because I had read on line that they had Shrimp Scampi and that's what I had in mind to eat. They have a good happy hour. The bartender was nice. I might go back at some point and try their food.

My order seemed made with pride in the kitchen. You'll find the environment captivating. I enjoyed the fresh ingredients, excellent seasoning, and skilled cooking. Workers provided perfect service! This place has secured our repeated support.
