Brett was excellent. He made me one of the mixed drinks off the menu and it was one of the best drinks I’ve ever had at any bar. Overall it was a great experience and I will be coming back in the future.

10/10, fantastic ambiance & a stellar cocktails menu. If you're tired of walking into a headache at other bars on Magnolia Avenue, come here & enjoy the kitsch, craft drinks, & cool cats. Pet friendly!

Fun place to hang out. Good, strong cocktails. Pricey. They used to have amazing food, but no longer.

My wife and I popped in not too long after opening and we were in for a treat. Dustin has the ideal bartender personality and skills. The liquor selection is impressive and the decor is fun and on point. We each had a couple drinks and had to move on before I couldn’t drive home. Had we not, we’d have stayed until closing. We shall be back, and soon. Thanks for being awesome!

What a great place! We loved the atmosphere and the drinks. We spent a lot of time talking to the owners and they are wonderful. We wish we lived in Ocala so we hang out at the Skipper every day. We will definitely be back.

I love all things of the islands. The way it was decorated was right up my alley. Service was friendly, and fast. I was so surprised to see one of my favorite drinks on the menu! It's called the "Bee's Knees". It's an oldie but goodie. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
