HQ Denver

It's sad what they did to this place: after ownership changed hands in 2022, the renovations eliminated much of the classic, vintage atmosphere this place offered. Now, it's just a new version of nearby hipster bar Hi-Dive, and the clientele is now younger, tattooed hipsters that are all cooler than you. The bartenders don't seem to care about their jobs, about customer service, and are often almost too drunk to work. It seems that Skylark is less of a job and more of a place for them to hang out, play pool, do shots, and generally ignore customers. Bridget was sweet, but Zach is incompetent beyond description, and should be fired immediately. These people probably bemoan the gentrification of Denver, while at the same time killing the vibe of a great Denver bar by making it seem like a private club for their hipster buddies. Gone are the days of the old Skylark, forcing us to look elsewhere for another comfortable, welcoming place to hang out.

I went for karaoke on a Wednesday night and they have the best sound system of all the karaoke in Denver thanks to their awesome karaoke DJ! I was wowed ant how well u could hear myself in the mic and how it picked up every little nuance and enunciation in my vocals even the whispers oohs and ahhhhs. Very impressed I’ll be back hopefully tommorrow!

Skylark gets a win for one of the better venues in Denver! I finally saw a band in the upstairs space since their re-opening and had a great time. It's a nice space with plenty of seating and standing room. Bartender was great and drinks reasonably priced. Sound system is on point. The AC is a game changer in the summer and the spacious outdoor patio is a great place to make new friends. Love it and can't wait to return!

Great location, and intimate venue for live music upstairs, although parking is a struggle, and fast bartenders. However, PAY ATTENTION TO THE ID POLICY on their website - they literally will not even look at vertical orientation IDs, even if valid and from another state. This sucks greatly for people traveling from out of state.

They don’t have food in Skylark lounge but they have a delicious pizza place across the street. Recommend to us by the Bar Tender at Skylark. If you go across the street and get their ice coffee you can mix it with Kahlúa at Skylark. Parking a little tricky but it Down Town Denver. Upstairs not wheel chair accessible but they do shows up there. Great staff.
