Skylark

Hit or miss. I've had bartenders who are friendly and engaging, quick with an unprompted water refill. Tonight was a bit different; the two bartenders were both down at the far end of the bar, chatting with regulars. I saw one guy come in, sit at the near end of the bar for about 10 minutes, and then leave, presumably because he wasn't served. Perhaps if I were a regular (I've been 4-5 times) I might appreciate it more. It's a decent spot with a good draft selection, but that doesn't exactly make it stand out in Brooklyn.

Skylark allows you to bring your own food in and has bar bites. It’s a great community bar, and I have never had bad service there. They have great beer and shot combos to meet all your needs. I’m a huge fan of the Thelma and Louise!

Great dive bar with good vibes and cheap drinks for NYC. I'm from out of town and had a good time on a Thursday night catching up with a friend who lives in the area. The place got busy by 8!

Great bar with pinball machines, good music, friendly service and atmosphere. The beer was good too.

Funny story: my colleagues and I went to Margaritaville rooftop bar for a few cocktails but we weren't feeling the vibes and noticed Skylark from the restaurant. It looked like a complete vibe so we stopped by. I never heard of Skylark! I'm so happy we literally stumbled on this gem. The drinks range from 20-25 dollars which is standard Manhattan pricing and they have a light menu. We ordered standard cocktails in addition to the sliders and french fries which were very tasty. Overall the food and drinks were really good. Also, the actual venue is pretty dope! There is a rooftop as well as a lounge area below with a pool table. We did have an awkward encounter with a new employee that asked us to move our seats for guests when the restaurant was empty. However, another hostess apologized and rectified the situation. Skylark is five stars for me.

Indoor heated rooftop bar next to Times Square! View is spectacular, it overlooks all NY skyline. Lounges nice for celebrating events or special ocassions. Moderate priced drinks.

THE BARTENDER HURT MY FEELINGS. I came to the skylark for my first drink in several months due to a bout of illness from my autoimmune disease. Despite the negative effects alcohol can have on the body I thought it might be nice for me to have a drink with my friends and take a load off. Boy was I wrong. When I approached the bar the bartender had his back turned, and ignored me for a LONG time. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, and assumed he was just busy. After waiting for quite some time a very beautiful woman came to the bar and to my surprise the bartender served her immediately! Due to my illness, I currently have a bald head and look EXTREMELY bad. I try not to let this dissuade me from venturing out into the world, but experiences like this don’t make it easy. When the rude bartender finally did take my order I chose not to tip him, to which he said GEE THANKS A LOT. I have been smoke free for several months due to my illness, but after this interaction I went straight outside to smoke a cigarette, and will probably finish this pack by the end of the night. The whole experience was very upsetting and I will NOT be coming back. You have made a life long enemy today.

Great bar! Cheap shot & beer combos along with fantastic cocktails. Super nice bartenders. Board games and pinball! Fantastic trivia on Sunday nights at 7. Bring your own food! Feels like someone’s basement, very relaxed and comfortable vibes. Love coming here, always a treat.
