Reviews for Skylark in Chicago, IL
Really wanted to like this place, was recommended to me with high accolades. The ambience is nice, appreciated their decor.... Bartender seemed kind. I was asked for four ID's upon ordering four drinks at the bar with just one other friend, standingbehind me. That seemed like odd practice. I walked in with a group of four, sure, but, they had no idea whether my friend and Iwere dual-weilding drinks. Did they assume we were trying to buy drinks for kids? I'm guessing they were short-staffed? Anddidn't have a doorman? But that wouldn't excuse being ignored by the server for 45 minutes. I'm being generous with the threestars. I would want to say 2.5. They have very decent prices. And an adequate selection. Pretty sure we were the only Mexicansat the bar that night. Makes it hard to think "our kind" isn't welcome there with how the waitress ignored us. Read more
