Skee-Ball

It’s how we roll

Like Bowling for Arthritics

Form, focus, precision…none of these will help you win at Skee-Ball, and anyone who tells you differently is a big fat liar. But, it’s an awful lot of fun.

The chimera of bar sports

Is it bowling? Is it darts? Is it cornhole? This game is the lovechild of all of your favorite games, with the added bonus of something called a “ball-hop.”

Skee-Ball Etiquette

This ain’t softball

Furl your brow and roll each ball up the alley with finesse to score points. Pitching it like Felix Hernandez won’t help you at all, and you’re likely to injure your rotator cuff. The Big Lebowski method works better.

This is my go-to bar in Cap Hill. Love it so much.

To start with, they do trivia once a month on the first Wed of the month. The questions can be hard, but luckily they offer a DFL prize if you come in dead last, so you can win even if you lose.

They have free peanuts for drunk munchies and have some board games behind the bar for people to play. There's a pool table and a juke box and more games upstairs. There's a buck hunter, a couple of pinball machines, a skeeball table/board, and two darts boards. So fun!

The one weird thing is that the ladies room uses curtains as "doors" to the stalls and sometimes drunk girls don't think and simply rip them open... lol. Nice to meet you too. But if you can get through the night without being walked in on, it's a fan-freakin-tastic place to drink.
