Skylark Lounge

Skylark Lounge is a great high dive/music venue on Broadway. I've been there twice in as many nights for Underground Music Showcase this year. It felt right to give them some love, especially considering the sheer amount of foot traffic they've been receiving the past few nights. To my surprise, I've never been to Skylark before until this weekend! What the hell, man? Purchased by Colorado's golden child, Nathaniel Rateliff, earlier this year, Skylark is a damn cool bar and music venue.There's a lot going on here, so don't miss anything. Stages on both floors, though the second floor is where the main stage is. One humble pool table on each floor, outdoor patio seating, multiple bars, and the most narrow staircase leading you upstairs. For UMS weekend it's an actual nightmare, but I guarantee it's not as bad any other time of year.More importantly, the drinks are priced appropriately. My go-to has been a whiskey soda (with Old Grand Dad) for $8. Keep 'em coming, barkeep.We've seen some great local acts this weekend and I plan to continue coming here in the future for more shows. A great place to discover music or meet up with friends!

Fun dive bar, video games, whimsical decor and great service! We had drinks, not sure if there is any food. We came for the live music! Go upstairs if you are seeking the event.

The bartender upstairs was rude? An ass? I dont know what word to describe him. I tipped $2 cash on a $6 beer and he said "that's it?" so i gave him two more dollars and he snatched it out of my hand and walked away shaking his head. Really weird.

Good venue for a small show. Bartender was rude but I'm pretty sure that's average based on previous reviews. Very very little seating upstairs and got crowded and very hot. Still worth going to a show for the price.

The bartender upstairs on Saturday December 16th absolutely sucked ass. She was such a biatch!! We asked for Hendricks and Gin and never gave us the correct gin, instead gave us cheap gin with soda. The drink was already wrong. We just dealt with it. When we called her out on it for the 2nd drink she said well you never noticed it the first time. Then when she couldn't handle the call out she ran off and called security. We were leaving anyways. Get a new job. Trash ass bar. Bunch of angry vegans.

I like this place ..... lots of variety as far as shows... I keep coming back ....you gotta go to the Bobcat room upstairs for a band.... Great bar, mural, flooring.....just feels good!!!

Some of the staff is kind of needlessly snarky but its a cool spot. I dont drink so i dont really fit in but the bartendars have been super cool.

Disrespectful to military service members!! DO NOT give this place any of your money! I came in last night with my sisters. When the bartender asked for my ID, I showed my military ID. She quickly said, "we don't accept vertical IDs" which I would normally understand... except for the fact that all active duty military IDs are vertical. I tried to explain the difference between a drivers license and a military ID to her and was met with immediate hostility. She raised her voice at me and told me that if I was going to argue and be a b*tch that I could leave. I cannot imagine how someone could be so obtuse and insolent at the same time. Military IDs are an accepted form of valid identification to use for the purchase of alcohol anywhere in the United States... except for this bar apparently. It also explicitly states in the Code of Colorado Regulations, Liquor and Tobacco Enforcement Division (1 CCR 203-2) Regulation 47-912 (1)(b) that verification of age can be done by "1. Producing adequate identification of age, including any verified digital identification, that is valid and unexpired. Identification of age is adequate if it contains a picture and date of birth and is one of the following: (b) A United States military identification card or any other any other identification card issued by the United States government..." To say I feel disrespected as a service member is an understatement. After dealing with this bartender's disgusting attitude I realized that either this place and their regulations are willfully ignorant to Colorado law and federal law or they are prejudiced against the men and women who serve in the U.S. military.

They got rid of everything that made this place cool. All the great pin up art is gone. Used to be the best jukebox in town,and it's still there but not hooked up and there's a damn Internet jukebox now. I like my music curated in my dive bars. Oh,also no Pabst anymore

The service and bouncer at this spot are horrible. He treated my friends with incredible disrespect that I didn't see anywhere else around Denver and I've spent time at quite a few bars. Your best bet is to not waste your time making a stop here
