Back in 2011, Skully's celebrated it's tenth anniversary, which means the twentieth isn't that far away. The Columbus Alive profiled the bar owned by Earl "Skully" Webb:
To gain an appreciation for how long Skully’s Music Diner has been at the epicenter of Columbus music, simply attempt to count the venues that have opened, closed or changed hands since Earl “Skully” Webb took over the vacant Short North nightclub in fall 2001. You will run out of fingers many times over.
A decade is a lifetime in the live music business, but Skully’s has managed to remain a central part of the Columbus entertainment landscape from its inception. This week, the bar will spend four nights celebrating that endurance.
“I wanted to have four different nights to kind of sample what we’ve been doing for the past 10 years,” Webb said.
A big part of Skully’s success is its ability to be everything to everyone, and this weekend’s lineup reflects that, beginning with the recently ’90s-infused dance party Ladies’ 80s, Skully’s signature event from the start.
