A trip to Ireland by Cindy seemed to set the motion for a Pub.  Today, Cindy manages the Pub while Lee puts in a fair share of his time when not traveling with his job.

The Pub is part of the original historical site, on Victorian Square, constructed in 1908. 

The reconstruction of the Pub began with a short term redo in the summer of 1999 but as in all remodeling, other things had to be done to the building which pushed the opening date back by 6 months. 

The original brick walls were covered with drywall.  To bring these bricks to their present exposure, it took approximately one month to restore them, with a group of dedicated friends who helped bring the Pub to reality.  These walls are very visible at the Pub.  The bricks were manufactured at the Reno Foundry which was located near the Truckee River.

Lee & Cindy Pisiewski moved on day by day to make this dream come true and all fell into place at 4 PM on March 16 for final inspection to open on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 2000.  They combined the Irish philosophy, charm and spirit for all to enjoy.  Now add the Polish tradition (no joking), the Pub came to be the only Irish/Polish Pub in operation in the United States and possibly in the world.  

Thus the name - O'SKIS was born!!! 

The Pub offers top quality pub fayre, featuring fresh Winnemucca potatoes that are used for our French fries and Irish potato skins.  Our special cuts of premium corned beef are slow-cooked in Guinness so the meat has plenty of time to absorb the Guinness.  Our fish and chips are premium cuts of light battered fish.  Check out: FOOD to see our full menu.  Our draft beers are special so visit DRINKS.  The Pub serves an outstanding venue of wines from California.

Interested in Wine - click on Wine Tasting  to see our upcoming wine tasting.   MOM is in charge of those.  Here you will also find some very interesting notes about wine. 

Need to have a special party??  Our back room is FREE.  Check with our bartender for more information.  Monthly calendars are available at the Pub and on our new website, www.oskispub.com.

Come down to Victoria Avenue in Sparks, Nevada,  and check it out for yourself.  Located  right off the Pyramid Highway exit and a left on "C"  Street gets you right at the Victorian Square parking  garage and O'Skis located east of the Sparks Museum.

ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR VISITING O'SKIS AND HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT TIME!

"Long live the Irish"
"Long live their cheer"
"Long live our friendship year after year"      
AN OLD IRISH TOAST
