Stopped here for a night cap and the ambience and kitschy decor did NOT disappoint! I ordered the “Clever Girl” cocktail which was perfectly balanced with some Smokey, tangy and slightly sweet flavors. The best part, though, was th amazing tiki mug it was served in. Way to really lean into your concept! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was that we weren’t greeted when we came in (even just a welcome in) from the bartender despite it not being busy. The menu was a QR code already sitting on the bar so, again, just missed that personal touch. The bartender was perfectly friendly and professional I just missed that warm welcome and extra service piece. I will absolutely 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.

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.

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!
