Skosh Monahan’s

Love this place! I am on the email/​birthday club list and came in tonight for my free dinner which is ANY dinner on the menu! I ordered the bacon wrapped filet with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed veggies. Steak was cooked to perfection and could be cut with my fork. Delicious! Our server was friendly and efficient. To top off the night, the owner, Gary, actually sang happy birthday to me on the PA! To finish off the meal, they brought be a huge slice of chocolate cake. Wow!!! What an awesome night.

Wow we have not been here in awhile and man it has gone down hill. Steaks were horrible. The worst is they installed small tv’s at each table. So kids are blaring cartoons. Way too loud. Water is dripping from two spots in the ceiling. Server was sweet but we waited alot. Very disappointed.

Chubby bleach blond server looks like she got run over. Leg in a brace of some sort. Probably got in a fight with a customer. Rude waitress, rude owner, and rude customers. Parking is nearly impossible. Pizza exceeded expectations. We were there for a fund raising event. Had it not been for that, never would have tried this place. I think the kitchen works hard but the front of house staff is not worth it. And it is LOUD!!! Won’t be back.

My expectations are low when it comes to this type of establishment. The type of place that is primarily a bar focused on serving alcohol and food service is just an afterthought. Well this place took my expectations to a new low, all the way to the ground. Hell it took a shovel and buried them.
The place was crowded and we were with a large group. We scrambled around looking for various spots to stuff ourselves in. My hubby and I found a small table and waited for about ten minutes and no one came to help us. I told him to try and find a menu while I went to the restroom. Well the path to the restroom crosses the area where the servers come out from the kitchen carrying food and I almost bumped into a server. I smiled and apologized. She gave me a dirty look and just kept walking. I was kind of bothered by her reaction but just figured she was in a bad mood. I sat back down at our table to find out that foul woman was our server. My hubby tried to grab her attention and she rudely told us to «hold on» as she walked by. We waited several more minutes and just decided to order our food at the bar. The menu was typical bar food that was slightly overpriced. I decided to get the $ 13 chicken salad. Hubby went to the bar to order and was ignored. He flagged down the blonde chubby bartender and she told him to wait a minute. She closed out someone’s check and then walked over to a drunk lady sitting nearby. The bartender proceeded to pour herself a shot, take the shot and converse with the drunk lady. She was in no rush to tend to her paying customers. At this point we were starving, pissed and walked out. They really need to work on customer service and Get some additional staff members for their busy nights.

Came here for the first time with my fiancé and sat on the patio. The food was excellent, the only downfall and one of the stars taken off was because my fiancé had to continuously go inside for water or to order something.

Whole in the wall with great food. Very entertaining. TVs on the table with DirecTv. Plenty of TVs showing sports from everywhere. Trivia going on. The owner even came by and said hello. Nice place.

Service extremely slow and not attentive.
Bartender made a good first drink, but when second drink was weak and tasted awful, she argued with me and says she always makes them the same. I guess I got lucky on the first one and she usually makes bad ones. Had a Shepherds Pie which was surprisingly tasty.

Skosh is like Cheers! Everytime I walk in, I’m always greeted by either Gary (owner) or Charlie (bar manager/​bartender). They always ask me about my day and they get to know their customers on a personal level. Great atmosphere to watch any game and cheer on your favorite team. The food is even amazing, can’t go wrong with their happy hour either. Best prices + Freindly Staff = My afternoon bar!!!

The blonde chubby bartender sat with her head on the bar while my drink needed a refill. Really prefers to talk to the wet brained regulars who are loud and rude. The owner sits at the bar looking hung over. If they did not have the sports packages I would never come here.
Could be a great place !

Stars given for food. Now let’s talk about everything else. Conversation recently heard at the bar entailed the word «monkey «in reference to Obama. Unfortunately the ex-​mayor Gary «Skosh «Monahans only concern was that others may be in listening distance. Spend at this place only if don’t intend on bringing any gays, blacks, Brown’s, Jews or liberals. Yup.

I don’t remember to go very often but every time we do I am reminded how good the food is!
They are a great supporter of the community, owner is almost always there, and even though it is a bar, we take our kids. Wednesday nights kids eat free!

I come here with my family (including young kids) all the time. I can usually find a big comfy booth (and some have their own TV). I think steaks are great and we have many options in OC but in my opinion the underdog here is the pork chop. There are lots of places you can get a steak but not many where you can get a perfect pork chop.
Note on kids: Some nights they have «kids eat free» and lots of other specials during the week.

This is a restaurant posing as an «Irish Dive Bar». While there are many fine choices for an adult beverage to satiate your thirst, I was there for the food (the place is within easy walking distance from the hotel I was staying at). Service can be slow at this place– I did not see a large Wait staff. I ordered the NY steak, plain, rare, and with double the veggie order (no potatoes). The menu indicated 8 oz per steak (uncooked). However the steaks were closer to 10 oz. The chef prepared the steak and veggies with skill. Usually I get my steaks somewhat overdone and relatively tasteless at your average chain steakhouse. Steak was rare (as ordered) and had a flavorful rub before being grilled. Veggies were crisp. Maybe I will try their Corned Beef sandwich next time.

This review is for the old bleach blonde chubby server I just had ruin my dinner.
Firstly maybe say something when I walk in to explain where I should sit and welcome us to the establishment that pays your bills.
Second… smile more. you don’t have much else going on for you to get a tip.
Thirdly don’t be so lazy that your co worker has to do your job and take my order.
I could go on and on about how you rolled your eyes at my father when he asked for a Diet Coke or how you smelt like burnt plastic and menthol cigarettes but the truth is you probably won’t take any of this seriously since your life and existence as a server is a joke. Thank you though to the cooks, that were Mexican, and had to make food for racist patrons sitting at the bar. I commend you for not spitting in their food

GREAT FOOD Great Drinks
There is nothing to say accept, if you like the irish bars and the Great food, Then this is the pub to go to. I highly recommend Skoshs. You just can’t go wrong Great Craft beer list from San Diego and Best Irish Whiskey list in OC.

I got the ribeye steak medium rare I loved it. Just not maybe quite as hot as I would have preferred but other than that an excellent steak. They have TVs are plenty casual atmosphere was like they had a bar but I was just there for the steak.

New York strip with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. .simply delightful… a sports bar with a relaxed environment. …one of my favorite local dining out

Can I give 0 stars? Just checking.
It’s dead here on a Wed night during the fair. Owner at the bar. Nobody greets me coming in. I go to bar. Bartender is his daughter, got it. They make that clear. Order two beers in the time it takes for her to give me a menu. Order a well done burger. It comes out raw. Nobody asks if it’s OK or if I need anything. Again, it’s dead with owner there. Lol. I return the burger and just decide to leave. Not seeing giving my money to this place. I live in the neighborhood and owner doesn’t blink an eye. This place won’t be around long.

My boyfriend brought me here on our first date a year ago, raving about how this place has the best steaks in town! And here we are literally almost a year later in the same booth ready to eat the same amazing bacon wrapped filet! The owner both times has gone out of his way to be super cool, and the service has been very welcoming. This place is our go to pub. Amazing food, cool ambiance, and they keep the drinks flowing (: Absolute one of the faves, keep up the good work!

Pretty solid bar, tvs at your tables and tvs all around if you don’t have one right in front of you…
Kid friendly… great service… waitress’ always checking on you and making sure you are taken care of…
Food is good, beer is cold… fun atmosphere, so give them a try…
