Stay Out of My Bar

by TheKuch

As far as Skylark goes there are a bunch of different characters, a wide variety of music, and good tasting beer, with servers who know what they're serving. The one creepy uncle was fun at first, but when he told me I had a nice d*ck, I was apprehensive. Bottom line: slightly tangy, but smooth finish.

*This goes out to the other reviewer(s). Keep your propoganda away from here! If you want to go to a "Trendy" bar or make subjective comments, then hang out in Wrigley or Wicker. You drive by this neighborhood and it gives you the right to spout of asinine comments about the local economic caste? Where were you 10 years ago?

Tator tots with 3 dipping sauce

I like the photo booth. The place gets funny, silly . One night everyone was dancing through last call and there was a guy in cow suit moonwalking. Ah, the Skylark. good times.

• Pros: The bar menu is pretty good. A step up from the standard bar concoctions
• Cons: The fake-ass yuppie creative class. Look for high end sneakers and labeled streetwear. Thier attitude can ruin the place.

Excuse me for not being an "artist."

Been going here for a while and always loved it. The servers were always very courteous, and the crowd was always cool and very approachable. I think we can all agree Pilsen is changing, some say for the better, but I could argue that. With the higher property taxes and condos, Pilsen is attracting some trendsetters who I would rather avoid.

I agree with the review before mine; now when walking in this bar, it feels like if you're not part of the artist community, you're not welcome. Unfortunately, this nice little hidden away bar has turned into another North Side knockoff. Not the best of times anymore.

• Pros: Certain nites you can still feel that neighborhood atmosphere
• Cons: Most nites you're surrounded by art snobs, scene kids.
