Pretty simple stuff here. If you're looking for a nice rooftop bar with music and sleek designs This is your spot! The rooftop is open enough to have a small group in your party along with a solo date if you choose to go that route. I don't believe they have food and I did not try the food if they did have it. The servers were friendly and the bartenders were pretty attendant, even though it was a slow night. I would come back here. read more

Came to Skylark with my colleagues who were visiting from India. we had shishito peppers that were tasty and some chicken dumplings that were ok. Service is great and the drinks are stiff so make sure you put back a few while here. It's a cozy rooftop and the music is nice would recommend stopping in for a visit. read more

I attended a work happy hour here, and it was a lot of fun! We had the private room, "the Den", and while it was nice to have our own space (and some nice skyline views), there was limited seating as we were a group of about 15 (there were 2 smaller sized couches and like 3 arm chairs). With the one room, we had a dedicated person to check in and take orders throughout the reservation, and the service was great. The food and drinks tasted great! I really liked their mint tea spritz. The apps were a hit; my faves were - artichoke dip (comes very hot and fresh) - flatbread (tasted like pizza basically) - steamed shrimp dumplings If I went back on my own,I don't know if I'd get more than one drink, since it is a bit pricey. But with the service, vibes, and quality of food and drink, I give it a 5/5. read more

My babe and I and was strolling through the city on Monday night and I noticed skylark so I suggested we go check it out. Security was very polite and recommended we go up; there's 3 levels I think including the rooftop. The second level had a few people there which was surprising since it was Monday after all. The decor is nice and the view is great with plenty of seating. We sat by the bar since tables were full for and we didn't reserve. I ordered the Reisling and a guiness for my babe. It's a low key spot with good music but not too high, great for conversations as Security mentioned. The vibe was good. We checked out the rooftop but it doesn't have a bar but you can bring your beverages and food up there. My babes love it now and what's to go back. The bartender John was a li'l off-putting and sarcastic I guess because, he gave me a dirty glass and i brought it to his attention but W.E. I would recommend it for the view or a date night. There's a light bites menu. Reservation is best. $$$ cocktails. $18 wine with a low pour. My second cleaned glass was lower than that of the Pic. read more

Gorgeous rooftop located in walking distance from Time Square. Great place to take visitors to get some great views of the city. I came here on a Tuesday night and it was pretty busy with a ton of locals. Score! Love finding a non-tourist hot spot. My friend and I grabbed a drink and took in the views. The menu looked amazing but we didn't try anything. Next time! read more

The Skylark - Views from the rooftop - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Docking two stars because : I got door-checked and denied entry for wearing a short-sleeved shirt. Borrowing a jacket from a friend, I went up and immediately noticed half a dozen different guys in similar dress code (short-sleeved, non-collared shirts). One of them was even in a cut tanktop and wearing a bandana. I'm guessing that either they similarly covered themselves with a jacket prior to getting checked at the door or the bouncer was profiling me (given I was the only person of my ethnicity amongst the aforementioned underdressed guys who was refused entry). Drinks were actually very good, I personally liked the '76 and the "Pearfect Pair". Drinks ranged from $20-24 and food was around $18-26. Ambiance is as expected of a rooftop bar. Noisy, extremely dark, modern vibe, beautiful views. It's not easy to have a conversation inside. Service is efficient though not especially friendly. Bathrooms are very clean, serviced, and single-occupant, mixed gender. Probably wouldn't come back due to the bad experience at the door, but if so, I'd dress better (wear a collared shirt). read more

Are you kidding me !? I cannot believe that a place like this exists in the middle of midtown. Sipping a drink on an outdoor deck while looking at the Empire State Building as the sun goes down- perfection! They also have indoor areas, which we did not get to because it was so nice out, but I'm sure they are great spaces in the colder months ! When you enter skylark, it seems like you go on a little maze to get up to the actual bar but BOY IS IT WORTH IT! The outside portion isn't huge, but they have done a good job with seating. Amazing views, delicious drinks. We also got the charcuterie and it was the perfect amount for 2-3 people. I would suggest making a reservation because it does seem to fill up quickly. read more

I had to check out one last venue in New York City even though it was drizzling. As our trip comes to a close, we had to muster up our energy for one last tour of Gotham! It was well worth it! The vibes were totally killer, and we had a really good time. Stunning views of the city at night, like something straight out of the movies! My goodness, how didn't I realize this city was going to be so magical! Perhaps only God knows or maybe it was the perfect time to come since it got pretty crazy during the pandemic years.. but regardless, it was the perfect end to an absolutely memorable visit. read more

A stunning rooftop in Midtown Manhattan just off Times Square. You will need a reservation to enter before taking the elevator 30 stories up. Once there, you can request to be seated at a table overlooking the Empire State Building or you can walk up to the top floor where seating is first come-first serve, but the view of the sunset over the Hudson river is lovely and the food service is the same. You will need to order drinks at the bar on your own though. Either way, you can have the best of both an indoor experience with views and an open air experience with views/sunset. The food is in small plate style but very tasty and plenty for dinner to share. The two of us actually had too much food with the watermelon & feta salad, burrata bites, duck spring rolls, and beef sliders. The sliders were incredible! The vibe is somewhat "influencer" but definitely a great way to enjoy affordable, great food and sweeping views of the city. read more

First, I'd like to thank the amazing hostesses and staff. They made the experience unbelievable. From making the reservations to the end of the night.The ambiance is great for date night and is beautiful. Tables and lounges, the music selection, and the food was great. The prices are extremely reasonable for the quality you are receiving with the food, not to mention the service. I was able to attend during sunset in the city. The great thing about this is, not only do they have an amazing food in the dinner area, they also have a rooftop above outside for you to take in the city. So, not only did I have a great view while dinning at sunset, but another great view of the city as it came alive at night. This is a MUST see and visit gem. read more

The ambience, drinks, service, and the space were all superb. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming and the drinks were amazing. I'm not a cocktail person but I loved the drinks that I had--probably the best cocktails that I've ever had. Plenty of seatings both indoor and outdoor. We very much enjoyed the warm weather with some summer breeze and, of course, the view of the city. Would love to come back! read more

We went on a Tuesday evening. We didn't have reservations and had no problems getting in. This is one of the better rooftop bars I've been to!

It was a plus that they served the cocktails in real glassware compared to other rooftops that sometimes use plastic. I'd come back! read more

Such a great rooftop! We made reservations for two about 2 weeks in advance and were able to get a great view of the sunset. Although the space is small, I feel a reservation guarantees your place next to the view. It does get a bit uncomfortable once people are trying to get a good picture and stand right next to you, but it's understandable. How can you not want a pic here! You will have to rearrange furniture if you want a better pic without so much obstructing the scenery. Service was very attentive. We did have to wait a few mins to be seated despite being 10mins late but it was not a big deal. The fries were amazing! It is small bites, so definitely plan to eat before or after a few cocktails here. Drinks were good as well. #leslieapproved read more

Wow fantastic place! I was visiting for work and this was located at the top of their office building. There are secret elevators for you to ride in to take you to the top of the building. We went right after work at 5 to grab a cocktail and some apps. Unfortunately it's very limited seating if you don't have a reservation (which we weren't able to get last minute), but we were able to get a seat at a shared table. The views were incredible. 30 floors up and some of the best views of the city. It was a rainy evening so we just made a quick walk outside for the views and then found our way to the bar. We ordered 2 Borracho Amigo cocktails that were spicy and delicious, then offered chips and guac and the tuna tacos. I think I could have eaten about 20 if the tuna tacos - fantastic! There was a DJ playing such great mixes - typical upscale NYC vibes! read more

The Skylark has breathtaking views. It oversees the skyline of the city. 90% of the tables are blocked by reservations, so if you want to see it - make sure to get a reservation. The rooftop area has ring lights so you can be positive that you'll be able to take a good night pic. They don't allow outside food so make sure to toss it or eat your meal prior to entering. You're led to a long, dark, hallway with an elevator. Once you enter, staff members will direct you to either inside or outside to the rooftop. read more

The views up here are amazing! We got through four levels of check-in or security to get through the top and I had a delicious ginger drink with peppercorns in it first thing. It was pretty empty besides a private party inside. We were there at 5 o'clock on a Friday we were so hungry, we ordered hamburgers, sliders, the hummus plate, and rice Bites with tuna on top they were all good. The hummus was actually really good! Nothing that culinarily knocked our socks off, but the serving size was OK and couldn't complain about the food. Since I only had the one drink that was very tasty. I can't speak to all of their drinks, but I was very happy with my drink. We like to order a lot of food at the first time we go somewhere and we basically ordered everything we're willing to try. The menu was typical bar food, but it was elevated from a typical bar. I'm glad we did order was solid. I would've liked to see more on the menu, but I figure their focus. Here is the view, and it did not disappoint. When we went up one more level to the deck, I was surprised that there was totally room to take pictures and choose a seat. We didn't make it to the other well-known places to look at the city. I know there must be slightly better, but this was beautiful place to hang out and we really enjoyed ourselves to also have access to food and drink while we enjoyed was a really great experience. read more

I came here for my girl's birthday dinner on a Friday night. The lounge is located on the 30th floor and offers unbeatable views of the city! There is a dj in the middle of the lounge, playing a mix of old school and new school music. She even played one or two dancehall and afrobeat songs. The bar was still packed even though it was a rainy night. The skylark drink was a crowd favorite. It was sweet, but still strong. I also tried the borracho amigo, which was really good if you like spicy drinks. The chicken sliders, the fries and the shishito peppers were my favorite. They were all really tasty and shareable portions. You really can't go wrong with any of the food or drink items, so if you're looking for a nice, mature vibe with a view, come to The Skylark! read more

This upscale bar is located on the 30th floor of its building and has gorgeous views of the midtown skyline, including the Empire State Building. The entrance is a bit of a maze with several short staircases and dark passageways, but there are hosts standing by at each twist and turn to help you find your way. Cocktails are $20 and they have a nice selection with offerings for every taste bud. The Borracho Amigo was tequila-based with a flavorful salted rim. It was on the sweeter side but tasty. The Fall Harvest was aptly named for the season and would be perfect for cozy sipping on a chilly evening. The butternut risotto fritters were crispy and dense with a nice basil aioli drizzle. Reservations are encouraged, but the bar was not crowded on a Monday night. Would be a great spot for small groups or date night. read more

Joined a friend for rooftop cocktails and the view was superb. Very attentive service with great cocktails and little bites. It was a Monday evening and I was shocked at the level of security checks along the way It was humorous. Overall, a good spot for cocktails.

Pretty bad with a skyline view. When I went, there were two other events going on so I reserved the pool room for my group. We still had to go to the bar to get our drinks, which was not too bad. My friend got an espresso martini which was really good. I got the Skylark which was not as good. I brought some friends who were visiting the city here, so I think it's a pretty venue for hosting gatherings and the location is great for those staying in Midtown. read more

The location was absolutely amazing. Just a few blocks away from broadway. Would be a great place to come to after the theater however... My friends and I did not have a great experience at all. Our sever (who we never got a name) was rude from the get go. She was annoyed we weren't ready with a drink order when we just got sat. Mind you we've never been there before. She took our order and then disappeared and never came back with our drinks. We had to flag another server down to help track our server to get our drinks to which she just dropped the drinks off and left. No apologies for the wait, no asking if we need anything else. Nothing. I got the fall harvest (which has ice) and a good amount of the ice had melted, watering down my drink. It wasn't worth trying to flag her down to remake the drink. The 2 drinks we got Fall Harvest: a very warm toned cocktail ($20) great for the colder season. The Skylark: a very spirit forward drink. ($20) great for those who want just one drink to get the job done. Overall would try this place out again in the future and hoping to have better service. read more

I came here for a work gathering around the golden hour. We were seated at one of the tables on the rooftop. Food and drinks were decent and quick. The view was a bit disappointing to me as the outdoor area was on a side of the building and part of it was blocked off for a private event during my visit. What sets this apart from most bars is the recognizable view within Manhattan. I hope my next visit will be a better experience. read more

Righteous, front-and-center views of the Empire State Building is the main draw for most who choose to visit this snazzy rooftop bar. Think quintessential NYC rooftop bar with some pretentiousness, bells and whistles, and premium prices. Despite being a rooftop bar, most spaces are indoor with floor to ceiling windows, offering your much-sought-after city views. Drink menu is well-represented and, despite the hefty price tag, actually tasted above par. The Maple Walnut Old Fashioned for $19, for instance, was excellent. Stiff and offering a smooth blend of bitter and sweet. Overall, the atmosphere is a little bougie which automatically attracts cringe-worthy, border-line uptight individuals. Just like the drinks, expect the food to have NYC pricing. Our Flatbread with ricotta, honey nut squash, arugula, was a smidge up there at $23, BUT it was delicious. I mentioned the "prime" views of Empire State Building, however, this is mainly in an exclusive outdoor area which seems to cater to high rolling corporate events. If you can ignore the snootyness surrounding you and focus on your main party while drinking in the views, you can easily have an enjoyable experience. read more

Perfect date night setting, great food, great drinks, great staff! Went through 3 checkpoints, maybe 4 (!) to go to the top, but what a view, and so chic! Had two signature cocktails but after a while I just really loved the martini (vodka, ketel one, dirty) and the croquettes. Really really swanky and made us feel like VIPs. Make sure you make reservations, though. There are high-tops but we had the sit-down seats which were really nice. Loved it. read more
