My Yelp review:
Oh Skully´s, how I would have given you a solid four stars if not for the atrocious treatment I received tonight. OK, so I've only been here more than a handful of times to see Zachary Allen Starkey and more recently (just last week) Marvin the Robot´s re-debut after Miles, the lead singer, was tragically stabbed for no reason and left bed-ridden (until last week). I was disappointed by the turnout, since the band is one of my local faves and it turns out I was one of only a dozen to witness their comeback special and spend plenty of $ at the bar. I couldn't help but notice throughout the duration of the show that Miles was totally getting his shirt soaked with sweat (there was one remaining dry patch) as he gives his usual all.
Sure, it was about two in the AM and I was going to grab a PBR, but was going to opt instead for a Guinness (and tip accordingly) until all of a sudden the owner/employee(?) yelled at me to, "get the f*ck out!; we're closed" despite the "Open" neon sign blazing on the window and a band that was still in the middle of playing their song. The guy pushed me out by the shoulder getting real physical, which I wouldn't have minded if he looked decent rather than a middle-aged, Three Stooges Moe. "Get the f*ck out, drunkie", is the last thing I will ever hear from this establishment, despite the fact that I was not puking all over the place, picking a fight, or even stumbling in the slightest bit. Perhaps my appearance as a quasi-hipster vs. 100% hipster was what did me in.
All I wanted was a beer and to say hello to the lead singer of Main Street Gospel, but the (likely) owner kicked me out as though I had sh*t on his bar. Whatever, like I told him he'd lost all of the money I would have spent there. Of course, I had to gesture to him that the "Open" sign was still lit up, bright as could be. He mouthed some obscenities at me, so what could I do? I gave him a middle finger followed by a double middle finger and finished it off with one under the left leg and one under the right: you can't keep your balance like that unless you're a professional, functional drunk.
So basically, I'm rooting for those who I thought I never would; the new yuppie Jackson condo residents who will complain about the noise coming from Skully's. Duh, you chose to live next to a live music venue. Oh well, at least The Garden, The Chamber, What The Rock, and Rivet, welcomes my quasi-hipster @ss. At least I got to practice my Arabic with the friendly owner (a complete contrast to Skully's) of the gyro stand in front of that nameless, piece-o-crap music venue/diner, so not all was for naught.
Ooh, this is my first 1 star review! Sweet...I'm no longer a virgin! In short, head up to Circus to listen to live music, grab some cheap beer, and gnosh on the magic that is Clever Crow Pizza: you can thank me later for one of the best nights you've had in this city.

Chances are that they used BP oil to transport their beer anyway.
