Rude and impersonal bartender. No knowedge of his beer menu and HORRIBLEMUSICPLAYINGALLDAY. pool tables have that awful red felt… rough to the touch and not well maintained. When i say horeible music i mean a strange mixture of pop country, electronic with female vocals, and some old justin timberlake songs. I was so relieved when he played just a girl by no doubt.

A friend of mine works there so i went to give this place a try i went there Thursday night and last night l love the drink specials but the bartender has absolutely no hospitality he’s rude and inattentive. He has no knowledge of his own menu or specials. When I asked him for some drinks and he acted like it was an inconvenience On Thursday the kitchen was closed by 9, fast food restaurants don’t even close that early. I asked the waitresses for some napkins and instead of grabbing me some she points to the side of the bar for me to grab them myself. Here’s a helpful hint of the owner reads this fire your FOH staff or your business will be closed I have been in restaurant business for a decade so I know what I’m talking about.

Bartender was ill-informed. A friend asked about a hoppy IPA. He had little knowledge because he didn’t like IPAS. Failed to even identify the only double IPA on tap. Personal preference is not bartending. He was playing games on his phone instead of taking care of our checks. Not friendly or even conversational. No «How are you» or «welcome.» The bar was empty — may my friends and I feel good. I walked into the women’s restroom– and was greeted by a MAN and two women who were«talking.» They should have been thrown out. I shouldn’t have to ask a man to leave to I may use the women’s restroom. On a plus, he did card us and he did wipe down bottles and the bar. But! Left the bucket sanitizer under the taps where it easily could have been mixed into my beer.

Last Sunday was my 2nd time at Lucky Break for the McGregor versus Aldo UFC Fight. I expected it to be busy, which it was, but the great quality customer service exceeded my expectations! It was packed! But our server, Nicole, was still on top of our entire group’s(16 people — which I’m in the hospitality industry & that’s still quite a lot of people for a group) food & drink orders. Food came out fairly quick which I was surprised about since the whole place was filled. We tried the tots & nachos as well as a few glasses of Ace Pear Cider & Fireball on the rocks… Delicious! We had a great time — our group made sure to go there early to get enough seats. There’s no way that we could not have gotten a good view of the TVs because they have big screen TVs & projectors surrounding the whole place. The first time we went in was on a Tuesday. A more quiet night, but that’s what we wanted for date night. It’s a pretty large establishment & pretty fancy décor for the location. They do Gift Card Tuesdays! We spent over $ 20& received a $ 5 gift card to spend for the second time we went. Tried the wings & hummus & a few speciality beers that they have on tap. There’s a really good coffee beer that they have right now that is probably my favorite! We really enjoyed the big smile & high quality customer service from our bartender Noelle. We felt like VIPs sitting at the bar. We will be back this week for dinner!

I really wish this place would step it up. Walking distance from my house, and so much potential to be a great local hang out place, especially for sports watching. Food is good, and lots of beer options, but the service is just bad. Last time I went with my wife for dinner and a beer, we literally sat at a booth for 20 minutes, and didn’t get recognized by anyone. I even stood up several times and tried to make eye contact with workers, but nothing, and it wasn’t that crowded, so no excuses. We ended up walking out and I don’t think anyone even noticed we were there. Very disappointing as this would be a regular spot for us and several of my neighbors. If the owners/management reads this, PLEASE do something to improve your service. I am willing to try again, but this was not the first time we had bad or marginal service, and many of my neighbors have had similar experiences. We want this place to succeed, but I’m afraid it will just be another failed joint unless service becomes a priority.

So, I went back last night. I wanted to see if anything had changed. It’s…slightly better. The bartender was pretty good, made sure everyone’s drinks were always full, and seemed like a decent guy in general. The server, bless her sweet soul, actually changed one of the tv’s for us. Without acting bothered or confused. She just. .did it. I was pleasantly surprised. The place was pretty dead. Basically consisted of a few old men looking for a friend to help pass the time til they pass out. There are only 3 pool tables now, and it’s 1.00 a game. Kind of a joke. The bartender was cool enough to just open the table for us and let us play as much as we want after the table ate 2 dollars from us. Other than that, same place, new name(again).

DISCLAIMER — I have only come here for drinks and pool… I have never eaten here so this review is excluding anything to do with the food. I have been here a few times when it was Scully’s. I was never really«impressed» with the place by any means but it was an ok lil dive bar with a couple of pool tables and strong pours. The staff was always friendly enough so everything was cool. I came in last night and its now called The Lucky Break — great name. The place seemed cleaner and like it had some small changes that made big impacts. Good stuff. Sounds good right? Why 3 stars? Service and watered down drinks. I had 2 Bacardi Cokes and my friend was drinking vodka oj’s…both were very light. We had a buzz when we got there and had list it by the time we left. Since ALLLLL of their 4 pool tables were taken, we were sitting at the bar which was not busy(even at 10pm on a saturday night — should’ve been my first clue). It still took over 10 minutes to get a refill! Another couple sat next to us at the bar. The bartender addressed then and said«I’ll be right with you»…then walked away and cleaned glasses for over 5 minutes lol They were pissed! Also, the crowd in here sucked. A old man, who must have been about 133 years old, was out on the smokers patio painfully hitting on 2 drunk and VERY loud 40-something women. The thirst was real! Mainly an older crowd. ALLINALL, this is a place where the ghost of failed relationships past goes to drink his sorrow away… with watered down liquor. SMH

Service is awful if you don’t sit at the bar. Mike(bartender) is by far the best staff at the place. Good beers and food. Their bloody Mary’s are the worst thing I’ve ever tasted because they use some weird(homemade?) mix. Firecracker turkey burger is amazing(I usually prefer beef but for some reason the turkey burgers here are just delish).

UPDATESINCEMANAGEMENTCHANGED. Service is back to what it should be. The bartendresses remember our drinks of choice and even our names, even though we are only in a couple times a month. Their Bloody Mary base changed too, and it is awesome. Come here! MYOLDREVIEW — Service is awful if you don’t sit at the bar. Mike(bartender) is by far the best staff at the place.

If you are reading this then my goal is to keep you from wasting your time at this bar. You will find the crowd and staff to be some of the biggest scum bags you have ever met. If you fit in with this crowd then you might love it. If you have any self respect you will have a much better time at any of the more established pubs in the area. Bottom line, the service is awful, the food is barely edible, and there are much better options in the immediate area.

Wow. What a difference new staff and a new mindset make. The past two times I have gone to Lucky Break, I have been treated to really good service and a good time. It is astonishing what a difference attentive wait staff make, and I have since eaten their happy-hour chicken sandwich, which was delicious and a great value. Thanks for turning the ship on this, Lucky Break. Keep it up!

Have been there a few times, not that bad… Went in today, employees were sitting in the side, we sat down for 15min, no one even acknowledged us there. There were 4 of us! New customers bring you money. Give us no attention and we leave! Too bad for you.

I had the absolute worst experience at scullys last night. I have been going to this place for over a year now, pretty sure I will never go there again. I had to ask THREE times for a water, a friend of mine waited over FORTYFIVE minutes for a burger while another friend asked for wings that NEVER got rung up. This place has done nothing but go downhill since the new owner took over. I enjoyed going to this place when it was called Lucky Break. You now have to PAY to play pool, all of the pool tables have been replaced with the coin operated tables. After I complained to a manager about my poor experience they comped my bill, I doubt I will ever go back.

New owner? Same place? I was here once before watching a Green Bay game, didn’t look like much has changed. My girl and I stopped in because we heard there was live music now. First…bartender was great and attentive, good beer selection. 2nd…Food, my girl ordered tot madness or something… tots, bacon hot dogs and chili… terrible…not their fault, my girl ordered it. Live music doesn’t count in my book unless theres a stage. Being in a band I will never ever play on the floor. Im not quite sure if the live music was a comedy act. The guy seemed to have a parody to every song he sang on got lame really quick, too bad too, he had a great voice. He had his own little following of 20 people that found him amusing. Being a live music lover here’s my advice. Pull the trigger and build a stage and get a sound system. You have a great bar, and we are all tired of O’Kellys. I will come to Scullys ANYTIME over them if you make it look like a LIVEMUSICVENUE. Good Luck and hope to be back again!!! Come on Scullys… SAVEUS!!!

Great food, lots of craft beers, trivia & live music. Why wouldn’t you head to this neighborhood joint? You can even do flights of beer. There is also tons of TV’s for sports.

Great food, great service, and an awesome selection of beer! Scullys is a great place to go for any sporting event. With live music on the weekends and always something to do on the weekdays. I would recommend this place to anyone. Fish & chips on Friday is the best!

This place is under new management and goes by the name«Scully’s» now. Which is unfortunate, because Scully’s is a far cry from the good ol’ Lucky Break I used to know and love. I went in here for a Saturday afternoon college game. The crowd was decent; not overwhelming but not dead either. I go to the bar and grab a menu. The items are mostly the same. There’re a few new dishes I didn’t recognize from the Lucky Break of old. I ordered the chili cheese tots; definitely won’t be doing that again. They were God-awful. Just a big, sloppy, greasy mess. The bartender was a guy whose name I forget. He was nice enough. Got my drinks fairly quickly, but didn’t seem too personable. Maybe it was a weird day for him, who knows? The waitress didn’t seem any better. I wasn’t served by her, but every time she’d pass there was a dead look in her eyes and she never smiled. Geez, at least pretend you wanna be there. Overall, I don’t think I’ll be back. The place is weird compared to the Lucky Break I’m used to. Time to find a new watering hole.

I’ve dined here a few more times since the last review, and the food’s improved. During our last visit, I had the mean green burger with sweet potato tots. The burger was a hearty patty, cooked to order(Medium rare for me), loaded with green chiles, jalapenos, and guacamole. The burger bun was lightly toasted with a light buttery taste. The sweet potato tots, while small, were nicely cooked, and the cinnamon-marshmallow sauce that went with it was amazing! While it took a few minutes for a waitress to realize we were seated and come over, service after that was good. Drinks were refilled as needed and she checked up on us regularly. Wednesdays are all day happy hour which include discounted burgers, drinks, and appetizers. Upgrade one star!
