Editorial Review for Skylark – by Lori Fradkin
In Short
An all-ages neighborhood crowd gathers for beer, burgers, portabella sandwiches and tater tots in this dimly lit watering hole. Half-moon-shaped booths beckon low-key patrons as they trickle in to eat, drink, smoke and chat; seating also includes a comfy living room setup with couches in the front and about 20 stools lining a long wooden bar. Pinball, a light-up reindeer and a photo booth add a dash of quirkiness to the otherwise subdued decor.

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.

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.
