Skylark

This neighborhood haunt pairs its relaxed environs with a straightforward menu of beer, cocktails, and bar snacks. The draw here is the staff, who are generally known for being funny, efficient, and highly welcoming to newcomers. The service is typically a high point, though regulars flag a shift in hospitality on Tuesday nights due to a less-accommodating bartender. Most evenings, the spot delivers on its friendly reputation, offering an easy place to settle in.
