No wifi. I would expect a bar in the financial district to have wifi. However, good beer and good service! read more

Hung out with my team to have a few beers. We were the only customers in the house. We had a blast. Each of us chose a brew of our liking for each round. The bartender was super cool. I cannot capture the atmosphere in this post because we were the only folks there but the decor was awesome, the beers were cold and the price was right. Awesome time read more

What a fun bar! We had a great time closing out our evening at The Lark Bar, which was right across the street from our hotel. I only ordered wine, but some friends I was with ordered some tasty looking cocktails. They had a good variety of spirits and options to choose from, as well as wine and beer. TVs are here to watch games, and it's an elevated sports bar vibe. Bartenders were helpful and friendly. Definitely a fun time! read more

The Lark Bar - Sports Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

The new lark, the old Lark... no matter what Lark I'm hanging out at, it's always a blast. I've only been to their previous location, which is technically in the same building, just on the other side. Their new location has a lot more space and a fresher look, but they kept that divey vibe I've come to love. They do have way more windows which I also appreciate. A fully loaded bar with local beers, tasty wines, and a damn good dirty martini. They've definitely stepped up their cocktail game, but don't expect anything too fancy. A great place to start or end your night. Now if only they sold their Lark hoodies online. read more

Popped in to watch some NFL on a Sunday afternoon. Barkeep's name was Bailey.....she served some amazing beverages and has an amazing personality. We ordered some pizza and enjoyed ourselves! Great place to chill. read more

I'm a long time fan of Lark bar going all the way back to the Dave's days. My coworkers and I always used it as a central meeting point on work trip because it was right across from our hotel. Over the years I believe they closed down and we were bummed, but we also started staying in a different hotel across town. Then on our last trip, we ended up at one of the hotels we used to stay at and we discovered that our old watering hole was back! It was right around the corner, but still has the same divey charm. They are always welcoming of our group and are quick to take care of the drinks for everyone. I often get an old fashioned and the one I had recently had an espresso kick to it... good stuff. Can't wait to come back! read more

For the past decade plus except for the time they were moving locations, this has been a regular haunt or my colleagues and I during our annual visit to the city. The bar has great charm, but the heart of a local spot with a touch of dive, and we love it for all those reasons and many more. Friendly staff, great old-fashioned, solid whiskey, selection access to the great bottle shop that it shares space with during certain hours and just an all-around good time. And all those years we've had new colleagues join us and of course they feel the same way. It's a testament to the way. This establishment is run and the types of people they hire and we certainly appreciate it. It's always clean got a lot of good space and it's the kind of bar. I personally like to hang out in. read more

Cute bar and good drink menu! Absolutely loved the frozen paloma slushy! so good. also had a number of beers on tap. super friendly bartender and good service! good after work place and also plays the game read more

The Lark Bar - beet and frozen paloma - Sports Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Quaint little bar. Close to the convention center and union square. Seems like a good spot for post-work drinks/Happy Hour. Bartender was friendly. The Old Fashioned I had was above average. I had 2 and unfortunately varied in taste a bit (1 was a bit sweeter than the other and the other was definitely more bitter than most). read more

A few times a year I'm lucky enough to stay at a few different hotels in the city, but most of them are usually striking distance to The Lark Bar, an old favorite for me and my coworkers for years now. No frills. No hipster uniforms, no crazy cocktail program that will load up your glass with edible flowers and enormous ice cubes. The Lark is simply... a bar. There's sports on the TVs, there a vibe in the room, the cocktails are moderately priced, and there's something to be said about returning to the same place, year in, year out, especially when there are so many options in the area. Love me some Lark. read more

Weak drinks, small pours, apathetic bartenders. Shitty area of SF, and super crowded on a Monday. Def won't be back.

Great ambiance and with two big tvs in the patio to watch any game, like the upcoming 2026 World Cup. They had the Trumer Pilsner which had a good flavor, will be looking for it. Very nice customer service, family owned, will be back to give them my business. read more

My friend and I stumbled upon this small bar and decided to grab a drink. I ordered the Paloma slushy which was refreshing and citrusy. They have lots of fun decoration with a bunch of different art on the wall. The staff were super friendly and even provided us water even after we were done with our drinks. read more

The Lark Bar is one of those spots that surprises you. On the surface it's a sports bar with TVs everywhere and a bunch of regulars who basically live there, but the drinks are legit. They've got a great selection of spirits and the bartenders actually know what they're doing. It's the kind of place that grows on you fast. If you're new, don't take the regulars too seriously -- they're part of the charm. In a downtown that's been struggling, The Lark feels like one of the few places that still has some real heart. read more

LOVED our dip into the Lark Bar! Super selection of beer and liquor. Gorgeous interior. Only recommendation is they should recalibrate the two top tables- they wobble like a mofo yo! Ha! Our beer spilled! Great access to Cali beers when you are traveling- that's just what I needed. Thanks much for a fun night!! read more

The Lark Bar - California IPA - hits the spot for a traveler - Sports Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

The Lark Bar is a slam dunk/touchdown/home run, i.e., a good sports bar. Nice spot for a meetup or to grab a drink and watch some sports by yourself. Lots of TVs with different games on. Our group loved the Tommy's Margaritas (with tequila or mezcal) and the Paloma Slushie. French 75's and Negronis made to order satisfied our crew. Lots of beers on tap. They have wines, but not an amazing selection - for reds there's a pinot and a cab. It still has the vibe and decor of the original Lark, which was around the corner. Not a huge bar, but there's a good amount of space, with a long bar with stools from front to back on your right and bar stools along the wall on your left. No more pandemic seating outside though. The waitstaff was friendly and fine with customers bringing in food. Prices are very reasonable here, unlike the fancy spots that litter the FiDi and SOMA. They take credit cards. I give it 5-stars for being a good sports bar with value pricing. read more

The Lark Bar is a cool, highly dimmed bar that's great for casual socializing. Many of the guests were just coming off of work, mainly in the tech and financial district. So I think this bar is just a great place to wind down after a long day's work. The bar itself is quite small, but they do have outdoor seating. It was very windy when I went, so everyone was just packed inside. They have a handful of drink menus, including cocktails, beers, and flights, which were decently priced. I ordered the Paloma Slushy, and it was quite sweet but definitely hit the spot. read more

The Lark Bar - Paloma Slushy - Sports Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Went to go give this place my money recently, but the doorman wouldn't let me in. I'd bought a bottle of whisky from the whisky shop next door, the same one they share storefront with, and the bottle was sealed and bagged. I even called it out to be transparent that I wouldn't be opening the whisky. I wound up at House of Shields instead, a real bar and longtime San Francisco institution, and they were happy to take my money. The only other time I'd been to Lark Bar at this location (their old location was on 3rd and they had taken over another longtime industry bar called Dave's) the bartender ignored me for about 10 minutes while flirting with other regular patrons. When she finally poured my drink, she mentioned how "busy" it was. It also felt like a hipster renovation project primarily catering to techies and tourists. Anyways, my overall impression is that there are plenty of other more authentic bars in the area with better service and ambiance. Don't waste your time or money here - they clearly don't value either of those things. read more

What a great bar !! Cool vibe and the bar tender Bailey was awesome ! You can order food In from next door which is pizza , wings and salads ! Friendly people and will return again read more

Fun stop near my hotel. Perfect to pop in for a quick drink. I believe there was sportsball on TV at the time I went, so it was loud and busy, but service was fast. read more

Bartender was so rude he did not like out of town people. Service was terrible he kept on asking when are you guys going back home. Didn't have the food. Ambiance was okay. If you are a tourist don't go. They don't like you. read more

Per usual stand in line wait for a drink get passed up for for people who came after me. Rude as expected. Bartenders didnt make any eye contact say hello or acknowledge me waiting. read more

Bartenders and security are jerks. Very unfriendly place. They rang their bell which apparently is for "good times" and after the rang it they told us we were being too loud. Went there everyday for ten days because we needed a bar that was close to our hotel. Every night they grew more and more unfriendly. Highly recommend to stay away from this bar. Terrible staff. If you want to feel rushed and not wanted come here! read more

Very nice and clean bar. Beer was cold, bar tender kindly offer bitters & soda complimentary, and location was great for meeting friends after work. read more

I tried this bar with a group of my coworkers on a weekday evening. We had an excellent time! The bar was able to accommodate our group of 12 people. I had two drinks: the margarita and the Paloma slushy. The Paloma slushy was DELICIOUS! Refreshing and a bit sweet and fruity. The margarita was also very good although the Paloma slushy just stood out significantly. We also ordered pizza. The bar partners with the nearby Joyride pizza restaurant. The pizza was also really good especially their sweet heat pineapple pizza and the buffalo chicken pizza. You can order your pizza at the bar at the same time that you order your drinks. The lark is also located very close to the Montgomery BART station. read more

The Lark Bar - Paloma Slushy. Delicious! - Sports Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

This bar used to be on 3rd St and moved here recently. It is a backup bar when nearby bars close earlier than their stated hours, or earlier than expected. It feels like a dive bar but not of the beer stench and grimy variety. What liquor bottles they carry and pour are also cocktail bar quality. Seats are limited due to the crowds from surrounding locations, so hit ot miss. This area borders SOMA and Union Square, but we rarely sit down at dive bars. read more

Extremely rude establishment, and their floor is always dirty, I slipped on their floor and they tried to blame it on me being drunk, despite them having a "slippery when wet" sign on the floor. read more

Nice bar and great service but overpriced for high end Willett whiskey manhattans! Only will return if I want a cheap drink on way home!

It was very clear the Bar Tenders did not want to be there & didn't want us there - Tuesday night, 10/28. Worst experience ever! Don't go here! read more

Great service and food was delicious, I would love to recommend it, we love it! I love the ambiance of this restaurant.

Nice bar to watch a football game. It was somewhat crowded, but plenty of seating. Good for cocktails. A few draft beers on tap but not an extensive selection. No food, but you can order pizza at the bar and they have it delivered from the shop down the street -- it was very good pizza. read more

A guy that worked there came out and let me sit in a orange Studebaker Lark and took a picture of me and my gf. How can I not? 5 Stars.

I stopped in this dark and cozy bar because I heard they had a good selection of whiskies. We enjoyed a 10yr Whistle Pig and and Angel's Envy Rye, chased with a couple of Tecate's. Friendly bar tenders. Good outdoor patio seating if you are looking for more space and daylight. This is a great 'hole in the wall' bar with a great selection of whiskies. I'll be back when I'm in the SOMA District. read more

Best bar! All new (it's around the corner from old lark bar on market st). Great bar for watching matches or corporate events. Huge space - 100 % recommended . Photos attached are from The Dawn Club which is the back part of the Lark Bar. - a fabulous new (resurrection from the original Dawn Club on the ground in 1936-1944) I will post images of the Lark Bar (which is the front part of the dawn club )after read more

New Lark is pretty cool. Definitely a decor upgrade and right around the corner from the original on 3rd, and still connected to Cask! read more

So glad to find this place. Great little bar open on the weekend when many other nearby joints are closed. And while their cocktails are great what makes this place really special is you can also order a joyride pizza right at the bar and just a little while later you've got a square pizza in your face. Can't wait to go back read more

It's a good bar. Nothing about it pops per se but bars don't need to have a thing necessarily. They just need to have the goods and be passably clean and maybe even a little cozy. I'd say the Lark does those things and the beer selection isn't bad either. Wouldn't change a thing. read more

This place was crowded as hell at 5pm on a Monday. But then I took a good look around and saw all the hot guys in suits everywhere and quickly decided this will be my new favorite happy hour. Plus, there was no line for the ladies room for once and we all know that's important. The Happy Hour margaritas were off the charts good and the bar manager ended up giving us free tequila shots in honor of the birthday boy. I'll be back. read more
