Bar Description
If you are looking for the definitive South Jersey neighborhood sports bar, Skeeter’s Pub in Blackwood is the benchmark. Tucked away on Coles Road, this spot manages to thread the needle between a high-energy game day destination and a comfortable family-friendly restaurant. It is the kind of place that feels like it has been part of the community fabric forever—a reliable “third place” where the bartenders know the regulars and the layout is designed for maximum relaxation.
The atmosphere is dominated by sports entertainment. With 25 flat-screen TVs lining the walls, there isn’t a bad seat in the house, making it a premier destination for Eagles Sundays or Phillies playoff runs. But unlike many sports bars that rely solely on the viewing experience, Skeeter’s puts a serious emphasis on their kitchen.
Features & Highlights
The food here is widely considered “elevated pub grub.” The absolute must-try item is Skeeter’s Famous Crab Bisque, a rich, creamy, and sherry-forward soup that has a dedicated local following. The Jumbo Wings are another standout, served with your choice of 8 signature sauces (the Honey Hot is a crowd favorite). The menu is extensive, featuring everything from massive Cheesesteaks and burgers to lighter options like wraps and salads, ensuring there is something for everyone in your group.
For the drinker, Skeeter’s offers a robust Craft Beer Program. They maintain an impressive rotation of over 20 beers on draft, frequently highlighting local South Jersey breweries like Bonesaw, Tonewood, and Cape May Brewing Co. alongside national favorites. The “Draft List” is often updated, appealing to beer geeks who want to try the latest seasonal release.
One of the venue’s best features is the Heated Outdoor Patio. It allows for open-air dining and drinking almost year-round, extending the casual, backyard party vibe even when the weather dips. Whether you are there for “Quizzo,” live acoustic music, or just a pint after work, Skeeter’s delivers a consistent, welcoming experience that hits the mark every time.

This is one of the places we stopped in to grab a quick bite to eat, it is bar food but I have always been happy with what I have gotten. I really like their pretzel nuggets, they are deep fried. The french fries and always good. Their sandwiches are huge and I can never eat the whole thing. They don’t seem to have a cocktail list but can make the basics. My only complaint is when it is busy the staff can be slow to clear the tables off and it can get very loud inside when it is busy. And the ladies room could definitely be cleaner
Skeeters is one of the best places in this part of South Jersey to catch a game. Their newly added TVs create a wall of TVs over the bar. The food is always top notch and their claim of “South Jersey’s Best Bar Food” isn’t a stretch at all. Portions are also on the heavy side so you won’t leave their empty.
They also have a ton of seating so if you are worried about a wait on a busy bar, it’s likely you will still find a seat.
The beer list is a mix of some domestic classics and a good amount of some mid grade craft beers. You won’t really find any high end crafts here though.
