Not to be confused with the much swankier The Skylark…read more(https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-skylark-new-york?osq=skylark) in Manhattan, Skylark Bar is located in the grittier and eclectic Park Slope neighborhood in Brooklyn. It is the kind of neighborhood bar which I enjoy frequenting. The drink menu is decidedly beer focused, with a secondary emphasis on shots of hard liquor; although my party was able to get a half decent margarita on the rocks. And the "food options," are limited to chips and/or chips/salsa from a bag. That's it. You come to a place like Skylark Bar because you're gonna grab a few drinks and chill with your crew. The interior is a cross between 70's basement motif, mixed with 80's bar decor punctuated with semi-uncomfortable wooden seating. Bonus points for having old skool pinball machines, which gobbled up many quarters during my youth; btw, don't shake the machines too hard since the TILT setting is awfully sensitive. Skylark Bar is the kind of place the DC area desperately needs. Instead, what we have instead are gentrified establishments which try and give off the "retro" vibe which have PBR on tap to seem cool, all while selling the latest extra hoppy 10% IPA for $13. Whatever... Next time I'm back in BK visiting family, I'm hitting Skylark Bar again for sure.

They have a cocktail menu of around 10 drinks but can also make any cocktail you like. Their bar staff are always great mixologists and everything I have had here has always been good. This trip I had the Hey Sweet Pea, which was different and reminded me slightly of a green juice in cocktail form, and The White Lotus (like a pina colada with a bit of a kick). My partner joined me after this and we had a couple of happy hour daiquiris and margaritas, which were also good, so definitely felt pretty buzzed when we left (the pours here are generous). If you are in the neighborhood and looking for a spot for a great cocktail then make sure to stop in here.

Unfortunately this place fell very flat. Leading with what we liked: Their mocktail offerings were good, promising a 0.0% ABV which is hard to come across when mocktails are offered. They serve oysters, which adds to that aphrodisiac experience of the oh so 'wow this is a former brothel!'. The bartenders and servers were fast and very sociable with the more sociable customers. The immediate entrance is very tight, and it was uncomfortable navigating the space. We expected there'd be more seating in the back, which there was, but it was limited and not offered to us until we asked for it. We honestly had no clue where it would be and only asked because of how this place was advertised. While it was comfy once we made our way back there, it was reminiscent of a lounge style bar space that almost any bar could replicate with the right room and budget. We didn't feel as though this hit the spot and were let down by this experience. I'm not sure if I can judge the menu of drinks/ foods as expensive, but we left hungry bc we couldn't justify some of the prices. In addition, I've seen a lot of complaints about the volume of the music: it's definitely loud at the front but a lot lower in that back lounge space. It's as loud as any bar's music level would be, but truth be told we were expecting music that matched the vibe of what was advertised and yes, at a lower volume.

They had a bunch of collabs with other breweries so their taps were filled with wonderful selection of cool beers. I got here when it opened grabbed a seat at the bar.

It also has an outdoor area which I did not get to check out unfortunately. The only downside is, is that there is no food served here. But the upside is that you can get free Pop-corn! If you have not been here before, I would suggest stopping by. By the way whoever does their social media is super great!

Service has always been friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. I can already see myself back there for the next time I'm craving some delicious craft beer!

It's this almost speak easy vibe behind big dark doors, you enter into a quaint space with small cocktail tables for seating and bar room. The cocktails were simply outrageous. Crafted to perfection with potion bottles used as finishers (yes potion bottles for their perfect witch craft making bartenders!) I think I enjoyed the bartenders work ethics as a concept the most. Sure the place was hitting the nail on the head for any speak easy, specialty cocktail seeking person's dream. But the fact that the bartenders were straight ripping through putting out eclectic drinks, with a smile on their face that was genuine was most impressive. I want to go back not just because I'm in the area. I'll go out of my way for this one. Nice job Sweet Polly!
