Skylark Lounge

Just wanted to update my Yelp review for the Skylark Lounge since it had been over 5 yrs from my previous review left back in 2019. Skylark Lounge is still a great spot to check out live music & we recently saw The Reverent Few band and Brian Scartocci perform on 09/21/2024 ( see the videos included in this review of the live action!)For those who have never been to Skylark before here are a few highlights - This venue does have several tables & booths inside however, it isn't very big inside so I would definitely recommend you get there a bit earlier to grab a table. Parking is free. No food options to order. Clean restrooms! Small dance floor to get your groove on!! Till next time! Rebecca

Great spot to enjoy live Blues and Soul Music. Drinks are reasonable and strong, try the tropical thunder punch. There's a guy that sells nice hats and another that sells bleach art t-shirts. The back patio is big and has plenty of seating to enjoy the night air.

A austin gem...Dark, Ecclectic, funky cool vibesGreat local music Strong drinksIt's a nice reminder for anyone who forgot what attracted them to Austin to begin with

This gem is a true little hole in the wall but it always serves up great music. It's not your local tourist spot, it's more of a local spot where you are amongst folks who are grown and looking to have a good time. I've been coming to the Skylark for many years whenever I'm in town and I've had the pleasure to hear some of Austin's greatest musicians. From Soulman Sam & the SMS band to Mary Mac & the Macdaddies . . . You are in for a great show. Recently they have added food service - nothing extravagant but you can get some fries, chicken tenders and such. Get there early to grab a seat, call them to reserve a table but either way get there and enjoy some live music.

I went here for the first time this weekend. We went on a Saturday night around 8:30, and the place was already hoping. There was a $10 cover which was not to bad. Butter and Jam was the opening act, and they didn't disappoint. I enjoyed all the songs they sang, and their band was on point as well. They had a second band that started at about 10pm, but we only stayed for a couple of songs, but I liked the songs I heard.My only complaint is that the drinks were a little expensive, we bought 2 mixed drinks and one beer and spent $30 so that was a little bit more than I wanted to spend but I will say the drinks wete decent considering. I will definitely go back next time I'm in Austin. I love live music and I love that the location wasn't downtown, it is by the airport. They also had a decent amount of parking and it was free.

Came for our 4 year anniversary and wanted to see a live show in Austin. We had great drinks and had a fun time! I would recommend this place and you definitely need to come see Soul Man Sam!

Great music venue. Was a $10 cover charge. Awesome blues band that night. A bit crowded but they have an out door patio with games and fire pits if you so choose.

Here in Austin on vacation, and I have a former coworker who lives here and he wanted to take me to some live music. I have never been to a hole in the wall lounge and I admit when we pulled up I was a bit skeptical because parking lot was dark, it's literally like behind an abandoned building and if I was alone I'd prob bypass it lol. But once we got inside, it was a vibe. Those musicians were so amazing! Truly put their heart and soul in it. And it was jam session now so anyone in the audience who was a musician could sign up and play wjth the band. Let me tell u, everyone was getting down with the get down! Lol. I had the time of my life

This place was great!! The drinks were strong and fairly prices. Bartenders were good! Everyone was nice. Great space and music was amazing!! I went on a Thursday night. Great vibes!!!!!!!! Really had a great time and got to hear amazing music.

Bad customer service, bar guy was more interested in serving free drinks to the lady singing with the band that night and taking smoking breaks at the patio than in serving our group!Disappointed:(
