"Outside, Skylark has kind of a steer-clear-of-me look, but inside is a dark neighborhood spot without any posers. Just good people, good beers and surprisingly great food too. Can't skip the tater tots with 3 dipping sauces." - Faust
"Cash-only Pilsen dive bar Skylark launched Sunday brunch in June, alternating between pop-ups including Your Thai Neighbor, Morgan Street Snacks, and Chicago Secret Burger and a small menu featuring chilaquiles made with cecina from Carniceria Maribel, french toast with bacon, and an open-faced chicken thigh sandwich served with a side of their beloved tots. Whatever’s on the menu, add on a bloody mary or Irish coffee." - Sam Nelson
"A friendly dive in Pilsen, Skylark was recently purchased by its employees, and offers a friendly spot with pub food and drinks. It also featured in the Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn, and Jennifer Anniston movie, The Break-Up." - Ashok Selvam
"MORE TOTS MORE TOTS MORE TOTS MORE TOTS. That's pretty much what goes through our heads when we've been drinking all night. And if we've been drinking anywhere near Pilsen, we're heading straight to the dark Skylark bar for a basket of tots and a burger on the side." - sam faye
"A longtime South Side dive has been running Sunday brunch since September with a rotating roster of talented guest chefs that has drawn customers from the North Side; service runs 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. On September 22 the program will feature Morgan Street Snacks (led by Ryan Cofrancesco), and on September 29 a Thai brunch will be presented by chef Fred Noinaj (most recently of Lost Lake). Patrons are encouraged to watch the spot’s social channels for future pop-ups." - Ashok Selvam
