There is a lot of open space with ample seating, lots of tvs for potential game watching. There are multiple bar games, with a special shout out to shuffle board, which is a lot of fun. It’s got a faux rustic vibe and is decorated like a classier TGI Friday’s. If you hail from the suburbs, you might feel right at home here.
We were lucky enough to be there when they had an Oktoberfest special which was tasty: sausages and kielbasas, potatoes and sauerkraut. But the basic menu is nothing that you would not find anywhere else. It’s stuff that your dad would want to eat at an old person sports bar.
The bar service was friendly but removed. The management seemed on edge and a bit creepy, which colored the vibe of the entire establishment. But both food and drink came timely and correctly. Light pour on the whiskey, though.
It got really weird when they figured out that we were casing the joint, with free drinks and an offer of free Mineo’s pizza and a long explanation of how they had had “no complaints, no complaints” which smacked of trying too hard. But we took the free drinks…
Overall, even if you lived right around there, I would not go out of my way to go to Silky’s Sq. Hill. It feels like a boring chain restaurant forced into the form of an up scale sports bar.
