Expensive drinks. Comedy show is false advertising- no tacos and not happy hour prices, racist/unfunny comedians.

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to work with the Skylark team to use their venue for a fun hang out for my church. They reserved tables for us, allowed us to bring in outside food (due to special circumstances with their kitchen at the time), and provided drinks right away. The music was 90’s R&B - need I say more? I’ve heard they have themed nights and have a variety of playlists so I will definitely be coming back for more!!
Not only were they easy to work with, but their service was top-notch. Even after our event ended, a few people stayed behind because they enjoyed the space so much and the owner gave us BOTTLE SERVICE and a sign with our church name on it!! We didn’t even ask for this so it was a cherry on top of a great night out. We still talk about it to this day lol. We had such a great time at Skylark and we will be working again with them again and again!

If you’re looking for great vibes, music, and strong yet tasty drinks, then Skylark is the place to go! Their drink menu is expansive and not sugary. They bring in great DJs who can actually read the room and make you want to dance. We started at skylark for bar hopping but honestly ended up going back because the music and drinks were way better than other bars in the area. The crowd gets lively between 10 and 11 and goes on for a while. I never have a bad time at skylark - I’d highly recommend!

Far too expensive, and disorganized. It's as if it's a swanky event venue, but with only the prestige, tech, staffing, or organization of a dive bar.
Their bartender was excellent, but there was only one (despite he was needed to help make drinks, oversee food orders delivered from next door, help troubleshoot A/V, and ensure the 2 drink minimum for that night was met). This led to long waits, and if it hadn't been such a skilled dude, would be miserable for everyone.
Hours are not clear, you get something different everywhere you look. We learned it didn't open until 7pm (before a 8pm comedy show) which makes no sense.
Worst of all is the cost. Bought a pint of cheap light beer (sapporo draft) at the end of the night and was going to buy one for some of the comedians. It came in a small plastic cup that and was $11 (before tip). Mind you, an entire six pack of 12oz bottles of this beer is $10. Our "happy hour" drinks and "$2 tacos" were more expensive than full price drinks at nearby bars. I cringe wondering what their full price nights are (since, you guessed it, they don't have an organized menu with prices available).
Loved it walking in, felt scammed by the end.

Worse bar in he missing area. Not sure if its a bar, nightclub or comedy club. Lost its identity for sure. Id skip this place.

My friend and I (both women) had the most invasive pat down I’ve ever received trying to enter this bar. I understand trying to ensure safety but the way the guard was feeling us up so aggressively with absolutely no respect and spending almost a minute rifling through our bags left an awful taste in my mouth. We didn’t even end up going inside because of how uncomfortable it made us.

Trash dive bar trying to be an upscale nightclub in the heroin capital of SF. No one goes to 16th and Mission for a pretentious experience. Skip this place. It will definitely be closed by this time next year.
