Skylark - Chicago

I really wanted to like this restaurant, as it was recommended to me with high praise. The atmosphere was pleasant and I enjoyed the decor. The bartender was friendly. However, I found it strange that I was asked for four IDs when ordering four drinks at the bar with just one friend standing behind me. It felt like an odd policy. While I had arrived with a group of four, the staff had no way of knowing if my friend and I were both ordering drinks. It seemed like maybe they were understaffed and did not have a doorman. Despite this, we were ignored by the server for 45 minutes. I am giving this restaurant three stars, but I am leaning more towards 2.5. They offer reasonable prices and have a decent selection. Unfortunately, my friend and I felt out of place as we appeared to be the only Mexican customers at the bar that night. It was disappointing to feel unwelcome due to the waitress ignoring us.

This is the best dive bar in Chicago with a great selection of draft beers. They only accept cash and the food is delicious.

Been coming here for years. The drinks are great, the food is delicious, all the sauces are amazing. Get some fried pickles with Cajun Remoulade, grab a few beers, visit the greatest urinals in the city.

I used to go here a lot in college and recently revisited after a fifteen year absence. The place was just as I remembered just with more hipsters inside. Still cash only, photo booth still stands, and the food is still really good. . The tater tots are my fave, and the server did not bat an eye when we asked for all six sauces. The burgers and pierogi were also very tasty. Drinks are well made and the price is great for Chicago drinking. There is an ATM inside if you forget you'll need cash. Definitely recommend if you enjoy a low key neighborhood bar feel.

Bar only bar but amazing! People are friendly, staff is amazing and the food is amazing!
