    The new lark, the old Lark... no matter what Lark I'm hanging out at, it's always a blast. I've only been to their previous location, which is technically in the same building, just on the other side. Their new location has a lot more space and a fresher look, but they kept that divey vibe I've come to love. They do have way more windows which I also appreciate. A fully loaded bar with local beers, tasty wines, and a damn good dirty martini. They've definitely stepped up their cocktail game, but don't expect anything too fancy. A great place to start or end your night. Now if only they sold their Lark hoodies online.

    Quaint little bar. Close to the convention center and union square. Seems like a good spot for post-work drinks/Happy Hour. Bartender was friendly. The Old Fashioned I had was above average. I had 2 and unfortunately varied in taste a bit (1 was a bit sweeter than the other and the other was definitely more bitter than most).

    My friend and I stumbled upon this small bar and decided to grab a drink. I ordered the Paloma slushy which was refreshing and citrusy. They have lots of fun decoration with a bunch of different art on the wall. The staff were super friendly and even provided us water even after we were done with our drinks.

    LOVED our dip into the Lark Bar! Super selection of beer and liquor. Gorgeous interior. Only recommendation is they should recalibrate the two top tables- they wobble like a mofo yo! Ha! Our beer spilled! Great access to Cali beers when you are traveling- that's just what I needed. Thanks much for a fun night!!

    The Lark Bar is a cool, highly dimmed bar that's great for casual socializing. Many of the guests were just coming off of work, mainly in the tech and financial district. So I think this bar is just a great place to wind down after a long day's work. The bar itself is quite small, but they do have outdoor seating. It was very windy when I went, so everyone was just packed inside. They have a handful of drink menus, including cocktails, beers, and flights, which were decently priced. I ordered the Paloma Slushy, and it was quite sweet but definitely hit the spot.

    Paloma Slushy. Delicious!

    Weak drinks, small pours, apathetic bartenders. Shitty area of SF, and super crowded on a Monday. Def won't be back.

    Do you still have outdoor seating?

    Yep!

    What street is the entrance on? Market, Stevenson, Annie? I just read that it is not on 3rd street anymore.

    Market Street. If you are coming from the old Lark, you’ll pass the new Cask and it’s right after that.

    Is it possible to watch The german second Soccer league there?

    Yes

The menu is extensive with plenty of options, which I appreciated. The food was a bit hit or miss. The calamari was definitely the standout and was cooked well. The nachos, however, needed some work. The chips were too flimsy and kept breaking, making them difficult to eat. We also ordered a Lemon Drop and an Old Fashioned, and both drinks were pretty mid and didn't leave much of an impression. Service was good throughout the visit, and the atmosphere makes it a solid place to grab a bite or watch a game. While this visit didn't completely wow me, I'd come back and give some different menu items a try.

What originally started as a disappointment became a huge blessing once we found the board room. Feet aching, sweaty, and tired we made our way to this bar. Immediately you could tell it's a local favorite, the ambiance was nice and a great spot to people-watch. There was a cup flipping event which was super fun to spectate, along side the rotating pictures of the bar's beloved pooches . We ordered 2 western burgers, 12 count bone-in wings (half bbq, half Hawaiian), and an appetizer of corn dogs, tater tots, bacon Mac & cheese bites, and mozzarella sticks. Later we also added boneless buffalo wings which were so tangy, well-seasoned, and HOT. The western bacon burgers were so delicious, crispy bacon, crispy onion rings, and some bomb.com bbq sauce. The wings were drowned in sauce (just how we like them) , the bbq was to die for and the Hawaiian had the perfect little kick of spice for our picky eaters. The appetizer platter was also fried to perfection, with the perfect crunch on the tater tots & corn dogs. The Mac & cheese bites & mozzarella sticks were perfectly cheesed, with an amazing cheese pull on the mozzarella sticks. Along with the food, my boyfriend and I ordered some drinks. I got a margarita and he got a Guinness. Both drinks were good, very standard and well served. The couple behind the bar were very funny and super kind to us being dazed after all the walking. On our way back down to SoCal my brother is still raving about the burgers, this is a MUST-STOP the next time we come up to San Francisco!!

I sincerely hope management is properly instructing staff to treat customers with far more professionalism and respect in the future.
