This place is super chill. I have been here a few times, mostly for a game of pool and a beer. This is also a good place to start the Broadway pub crawl. I haven't done any dancing here, but the crowd looks welcoming and pleasantly eclectic. Pretty cheap beer, nice pool tables (and shuffle board), and really laid back. read more

All 4 stars are for Randall's service. Typically I don't like to go here because the bartenders are sooooooo slow. But I had to go to see a friend's band. I was very happy to see that the bartender was kickin ass and taking names. A full bar, all by himself, and I hardly had to wait at all. He took multiple orders at once and forgot nothing. I always complain about the service here, so I am giving credit where it's due.... Thanks for doing such a great job Randall Randall is an excellent bartender, the best that they have. I may actually go here by choice now. read more

I feel like I want to belt out a Toby Keith song but..."I love this bar!" In my years of living in Baker and surrounding areas, this is a great local spot! I personally love hanging upstairs and playing pool. read more

Great neighborhood bar. Kinda divey but in a good way. I booked my birthday party here (rented out the upstairs) to hang out and watch the Packers game (damn Seahawks). Pool, shuffleboard and darts included. Scott got me all set up and Jessie was our private bartender. HE WAS GREAT!!! Engaging and on top of his service game. I highly recommend him if you are have a function and he is available. Live music on many nights so I will have to get back and check that out. read more

I love this place. Nick, Forrester, Mike, other bartenders are awesome servers/people and super nice guys! They always give good service. However, bartender Kendra is a "class A" rude lady, especially to young women and gay men and will always make me cut my trip short with her presence. I can hang out in this place for long periods of time while getting strong, cheap, yummy drinks. I've been coming her now for 3.5 years or so. Definitely my go to for south Broadway. Great atmosphere, prices, and people (aside from Kendra). read more

The reviews arent bad. I was actually pretty excited to check it out. When i got there and went in to get a drink, no bartender. He was actually sitting out on their "patio". Took about 10 minutes. This was 6:00 on a Wednesday o Tuesday...either way i think there were four of us there. The bartender was faded. Another guy showed up, sat at the bar, was noticeably trashed, and was served. Sadly, i wont be back there. Kind of a bummer. I have been there once before and it was ok. But this experience sucked read more

Retro, cool, hip, fun, original, awesome! Nice service and nice people. Music is always great. read more

I've been going here at for the past 3 years and there were some recent comments stating Skylark is not gay friendly. This is not true. I have never had any issues with either service of drinks when I went and the staff is terrific. I don't get downtown much So it is great to have such an eclectic and well run establishment with great staff. read more

A friend of mine came here and was horribly insulted by a bartender for being from Houston, TX. My friend ordered a Lonestar, which apparently gave the bartender permission to berate the entire city of Houston, saying that the city deserved the massive destruction brought on by Hurricane Harvey and to, "go home you fuckers." A simple apology for his actions isn't sufficient in this situation, he should be fired at the least. I know I won't be coming here when I visit Denver. read more

Favorite bar in town. In every way. No place has character like this joint. Usually live music on weekends various Rockabilly bands that play regularly. Very good vintage vibe, tons of pool tables, juke box, shuffle board. The works ;) read more

A South Broadway favorite. From the outside, this place doesn't look like the most exciting place, but once you step through the doors you're taken back to the middle of the 20th century. The walls are covered completely with Americana from '50s and '60s. The drink prices are as expected, including the standard $2 Pabsts. If you're looking for a place to watch the big game, keep looking. Skylark does not have a television, which makes for great conversation. Upstairs you'll find a full bar, billiards, shuffle board, and darts. There might be more games, my attention is usually drawn to the shuffle board. read more

This is the place to hang out in the Baker Neighborhood! Almost 40 taps available, excellent Happy Hour places, a progressive political hotbed, a great place to shoot pool, great music on the weekends, Card Against Humanity every Sunday and a Bernie Sanders minded meeting every Wednesday at 6 PM. What better place to hang in Denver than the Skylark Lounge? None! read more

This bar has an amazing feel. It surreal in that it feels like your very own Cheers. The bartender Supr Suzi is amazingly friendly and loves to crack jokes making anyone who comes in feel right at home. They have amazing life music Friday and Saturday night. And various variety nights Monday through Wednesday. Sunday's are also a treat during happy hour from 5pm-7pm they do a bar style cards against humanity. And if it's pool your after they have an upstairs bar with multiply pool tables open Thursday-Saturday. Overall this bar has everything you could want except food which they so graciously allow you to bring in. If you're looking for a fun welcoming place this is the place to go. read more

Skylark Lounge - One of the many bands to grace the stage at The Skylark Lounge. - Music Venues Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Denver has witnessed so much change in the last few years. It is nice to know the Skylark is reliable for excellent bands, stellar service, and a place that accepts all people. Though the bulk of patrons have a rockabilly vibe, I have shown up to see a show with pink hair in a yellow terrycloth 70s swim dress and no one batted an eye because all are welcome at the Skylark. I am a busy person and go out often and typically it is on South Broadway. Regardless of where I start I know I will end up at the Skylark because it feels safe and homey. A shout out to some of my favorite bartenders including the guy with the long gray hair downstairs that is always super sweet, and the redhead upstairs. She gets some of the unruly people and you can stand back and watch her manage to schlep drinks quickly and efficiently, especially when it is incredibly loud and the crowd is disrespectful. She still manages to remain calm and keeps em coming. And that is what will keep people coming back. read more

I met a woman who told me she was a gypsy, had a bartender who lent me his iPhone charger and mixed me a mean shot, and also got to try my first Hoss beer. It all happened at the Skylark, folks, and it can happen to you, too. read more

Wow, what a way cool, funky place! Met hear for an event, and the place is huge, and decorated with movie and music posters and photos of old actors. Drinks were reasonable, and man what a selection! This is a must visit dive bar if you are on Broadway, and tired of the other places around that are just trying too hard. This place is honest and real! read more

Unfortunately, this place, like so many downtown is now overrun with hipsters. My favorite bar is ruined. :(

Debbie, Ronnie, Suzi, & Barry, Forrester & Jesse are the most awesome welcoming bartenders/employees at the Skylark. They always take good care of me. Service is fast & friendly & the music is great! My favorite bar on South Broadway!oops! I forgot Kendra! read more

I love the look and feel of this bar, but the past few times I have been in, I've been treated awful!! 2 female bartenders, on seperate occasions, were SO rude to me right off the bat. YOU WORK FOR TIPS!! Try being nice! Or helpful! Or attentive! Anything would be appreciated. It's called customer service, ladies! read more

Good music, good people and an upstairs with some really good pool players. Sure, it's rockabilly but it's also oldies, country and a little bit of everything else for good measure. Don't be surprised to see your sweet old mom dancing next to a guy with half-inch plugs, two full sleeves and a rolled-up pack of cigs in his shirt. read more

I have also been a patron of Skylark for 20 years, here and in the prior location. I was happy to see the post below. All of the bartenders at Skylark are experienced and heartwarmingly friendly. They're always attentive with top-notch service and fresh cold drinks, they earn their tips. When they can they'll shoot the breeze as they're pouring. Same-Sex Marriage is openly supported there, I can tell you that. Every time I enter those doors I am welcomed with good energy. The billiard area is roomy and fun, the local and national musical talent they book is legendary. Barry, Debbie, Forrester, Kendra, Ronnie, & Suzi are some of the nicest people I know, working or not, and vouching for their ethics can be backed up by my lifetime of knowing them. I go there for the atmosphere. It is my consensus that too many people become easily disgruntled and use Yelp as a forum to tear everyone down. It's a bar. Stop Yelping and Start Helping!! read more

Had a birthday party here in the upper room, the Tom and Scott couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating to us setting up and hosting a party. read more

Came in last night at about 7pm, there were 3 other people in the bar, the bartender barely looked at us and was really short, poured us 2 strongbows, didn't ask if we wanted to open a tab, no pleasantries, just generally rubbing us the wrong way, we chugged our bows and bailed, kind of wishing we had tipped less. I have been here before and will have to come again (cruisers) but this experience was souring. read more

I'm hesitant to outright give it 5 stars just because I don't know what it's like outside yelpapalooza, but the bar is HUGE (3 sided) and there's plenty of pool (along with another smaller bar) upstairs. The stage downstairs is just right, out of the way enough to not damage the bar flow, but plenty of room for seating/dancing. Also loved having some booths around the side if you're not the barstool type. I'll definitely be back to shoot some stick and have some drinks. Oh, and a jukebox! Woo hoo! read more

I love this place! It's an old-school dive where you can drink Schlitz and dance to live rockabilly and country western music from the Patsy Cline era. The crowd is always totally diverse, attracting bikers and hipsters alike. My personal favorite thing to do at the Skylark is watch people my parents age swing dance and wish my moves were half as good as theirs! read more

Who doesn't love the Skylark?! Look, folks...there are many bars, breweries and distilleries to choose from in this crazy town. My occupation often places me in bars near and far, and when I'm on South Broadway I frequently choose this place to meet up with friends for a drink. The ambiance is perfect for conversation. Yes: it gets labeled as "the rockabilly bar" a lot due to the vintage decor, the jukebox, the twangy bands and such. Sure: the bartenders utilize the golden rule. Yup: the place can either be packed to the gills or nearly-empty depending on when you visit. The bottom line: this is an honest-to-goodness, no-frills watering hole. While it's no hole-in-the-wall, it's not pretentious either. They've got a downstairs bar with a stage for live music and an upstairs bar that has classic pool hall appeal. Reading some of the other reviews, I can honestly say that over the years I have never seen the staff treat anyone unjustly that didn't deserve it. Next time you're there say 'hi' to Josh Finley for me. He doesn't work there but he's always working there. Dig? read more

Felt like the 'lark needed another try after my last uncomfortable experience there. Two professional bartenders were at the helm, a good band, and some people. Last Wednesday was hopefully a fluke. THIS was the Skylark I look forward to attending. read more

I've been sitting here, looking at the reddish orange four star rating with my cursor resting over the 4th star. It turns out, I can't think of a reason not to add the fifth star. If you know my reviews, you know this is a rarity. But then, so is Skylark Lounge. This place just reeks of coolness. What brought me to this laid back lounge? Newest Friend and I were a little lost due to our mutual friends being out of town, so we decided that instead of mourning the loss of our weekend regulars, we would enjoy each other's company. Being new to the scooter community, he caught that the end destination of the day's scooter rally was at Skylark. Yep! I rode on the back of his scooter to our downtown destination. I was tempted to wave at the people in the cars we passed, but I refrained. Anyway... the lounge. We parked next to a plethora of classic, new and used scooters then headed in. Inside, there was a good amount of people who decorated much of the long rectangle of a bar, and others who sat at the tables outside of the dance floor where the band began to set up (I remember some Johnny Cash covers along with other great covers, performed well to perfectly fit the already cool atmosphere). Although I normally pay attention to the decor, I didn't notice the details much past the many posters and photos that hung on the wall. I didn't need to! There were too many subjects for great people watching during the wait for Newest Friend to return from the restroom. I commented on the witty responses of the coolest bartender I've ever met as he tried to decipher Drunk Guy At Bar's words of uh- wisdom. Other Friends showed up, which helped provide to the overall positive experience. Some dancing, some laughing, some singing, some chatting all made for a perfect, laid back Saturday night at the Skylark. Skylark Lounge gets its points for the atmosphere it encourages, allows and encompasses - from its patrons to the live music to the service. I'll for sure be back! read more

We decided to check this place out on a random whim the other night. It was fun. The upstairs area with the regulation size pool tables makes it worth it to pay by the hour/game, or however they work that out. We played a few games of shuffleboard, so I didn't quite figure out how they charged for the tables. There is a coin-operated table as well if you're on a budget. The beer is cheap, the crowd a diverse mix of the neighborhood, and the staff is pretty cool. There was a cover because they had a live performance, but the guy at the door let us in free if we could teach him two facts he didn't already know. Needless to say, we got in free. I'm sure we'll be checking this place out again. read more

How is it possible that I have never been here till last night... HOW! I mean it is on Broadway... I passed it a million times and my friends frequent the place.... not sure BUT Fat Tuesday called for a little party time. Walking in I was happy to see booths and tables and great bar seating. Really good layout. Price is right. I was happy my drink was cheap and stiff! I wanted white wine since i was throwing down some Oyster bay but sutter home 4 pack wont cut it and I truly can not complain.... its that kinda bar... no wine just beer and liquor... : ) I loved our barkeep he was cool! The giving quarters back thing really worked in my favor.... Laundromat girl right here.... the group of ten i was with was not diggin the "change" thing and gave me ALL their quarters... i seriously MADE money on this trip... Loved the place... will be back for some music.... parking is not hard here! LOVE IT! smiles all around! read more

live music. Shiner bock. Divey. For a good ol' Texas boy like me, you can't beat it. cool place, highly recommended. Doesn't feel cheesy. Feels authentic. The place to go on Friday nights. read more

Great neighborhood dive bar with a jukebox and pool table. Love coming here during the week for late night hang outs in the hood.

The Baker area is hot hot hot, and parking in "SoBo" can be a pain....but it's still so worth it. The Skylark generally has some sort of music going on, any night of the week; they also have a ton of different types of beer on tap (but don't ask for a list; it's all based on what you can identify from the handles). It's gritty and original, and I've met at least one interesting person on every trip. read more

Cool bar that plays live music. Didn't have food. But they have ALL sorts of beer on tap.

As a proud gay man, I will never visit the skylark again. The upstairs bartender (the eccentric women with bangles) treated me as a true second class citizen... Throwing glasses and slamming the titos on the counter in anger. I was in a group of 12 friends willing and thirsty for her drinks and we received nothing but anger and frustration. Never again. read more

Horrible service by the lady bartender upstairs. Came with a group of 12 friends to get some drinks and she was really rude and impatient. If you're looking for a cool place to hang out and have a good time with friends, this isn't the place. Broadway is full of trendy and cool bars and this one is definitely NOT one of them. read more

This is my second home in Denver. I was lost until i found it. I drag every chill person I meet and they all love it. Drink prices are phenomenal. Nick is a champion among men. Scott is a bombdiggity dude. Cool music, cool decor, cool people. Love it!!! read more

I love the old-school ambience of this Broadway mainstay. A great bar. If you get the chance, go upstairs and let the fabulous Kendra serve you. Always a smile, and she always remembers my "usual"! read more

The Skylark Bar is one of the best all inclusive bars in Denver. All are welcome. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere rocks. I am a very GAY man and I have never felt unwanted at the Skylark, in fact the upstairs bartender Kendra is one of the most personable and knowledgable bartenders that I have ever run across. Skylark is On my list to take new friends and new for a genuine fun bar in the Baker neighborhood. I would say that if you don't enjoy your experience at the bar you are probably just not a very nice person. Larry read more

A Denver gem. Go dance to rockabilly and drink beer.
