My recent visit to The Lark was enjoyable. The quality and amount of food was lower than in the past and the prices have definitely gone up. However, the IPA I had was excellent and fresh off the tap.

Awesome beer, awesome people, and amazing food! It was an early March day with a springtime like temperature so we drank beer on the outdoor patio.

Great neighborhood spot with 20+ beers on tap and decent bar food. Always clean with clean bathrooms and a place to sit outside when the weather permits.

Came here with a few friends on a Friday night as I heard it has a new owner. It’s a smaller place but is welcoming and nicely decorated. There were a bunch of other people there but the vibe was drinks with friends rather than loud/rowdy as some sports bars can get.Drinks and service were great! They have an impressive beer selection.We had the BBQ wings, red flatbread (which is actually a circular pizza and not a small rectangle as I’ve seen at other places), steak Gorgonzola Mac and chicken tenders. Everything was cooked really well and delicious! Gorgonzola and steak was a nice combo with the Mac and cheese. Chicken tenders were crunchy and very tender, clearly not something that was bought premade and frozen. Will definitely be back to try some other menu items and look forward to using their patio area in the warmer weather!Parking: They have a lot alongside the building, and plenty of street parking

Out in Suffolk for a family affair, followed by a short leg stretch on the Sunken Meadow boardwalk. I remembered that I had received an alert that Lark, 6 minutes away, had Maine Dinner on tap. Dinner, a rarely found IPA, is the only beer I follow on Beer Menus. Pleased that the beer was so fresh, and then surprised that it was only $7 a pour, a happy hour bonus. A serviceable thin crust bar pie for only $5 from the HH menu was a nice accompaniment. Welcoming bar service! Thursday Night Football replay on display. Decent soundtrack. Helped make a smooth transition to weekend from hectic work week. Private parking lot and a nice patio out back for milder weather.

I went right as they opened so we were the only ones there. I would go back again when the atmosphere is more lively. Their wraps and burgers are good, and I really like their sweet potato fries.

Sports pub vibe with good food and even better service. Nice atmosphere. Christian was the best! He kept our drinks going without having to call him over and recommended some good food. The bottle cap sliders were great! The fries were aldo really good, I ate them all. Tacos were so so but I’m bias from taco experiences. Seems like a great spot to catch a game, a bite, and drinks.
Tacos are not great but the sliders and chicken fingers are amazing.

First, let's consider the name.A lark is a bird. According to my lazy Wikipedia-ing, "Larks are passerine birds of the family Alaudidae. Larks have a cosmopolitan distribution with the largest number of species occurring in Africa. Only a single species, the horned lark, occurs in North America, and only Horsfield's bush lark occurs in Australia."There are several hyperlinks in that sentence, including for "passerine," "cosmopolitan distribution," and, of course, "bird." Do not click them unless you want to travel down a fruitless rabbit hole or, worse, a lark hole. None of this will help you learn more about the Lark. I assume its name comes from its location on Larkfield Road. Until I learned that a lark was a bird, I'd assumed the name was just a cutesy abridgment of the street, like calling a bar on Jericho Turnpike "The Jer."But the logo (mascot) of the Lark is a dark bird, and one could assume that bird is a lark. As a non-watcher of birds, I'll take their word for it. Or their bird for it.The Lark is located in East Northport, which is more accurately SOUTH Northport, but that's a discussion saved for a chapter of one of my many works in progress, "'What's So Central about Central Islip?' And Other Questionable Long Island Naming Conventions."I haven't even started describing the bar yet. Well, let me tell you: It's easy to miss if you're not a denizen of that part of East Northport, because Larkfield Road is mostly a sometimes-clogged thoroughfare connecting Route 25A to Parts South, so you might cruise right on by while you ignore the other storefronts, which include a barbershop, a restaurant whose patrons tend to have been born during the Eisenhower administration, and probably a couple of other bars.If you don't drive past the bar like I've done a few times, you'll be able to park in its moderately spacious lot, a rarity in that part of town. Otherwise, you're condemned to parallel park on the street, a precarious enterprise when there is even a flicker of traffic.You walk into the bar and you get, well, a bar -- plus a handful of tables that are served by a waitress or two, depending on how crowded the place is. And I'll tell you, it does get crowded. Apparently, not everyone is driving past it.When you sample the category of drinking establishments that offer edible consumables, also known as bars serving pub grub, the results can be hit (food that's actually prepared) or miss (a "pizza" festering under a heat lamp). Fortunately, the Lark is the former, and while I'll never consider the place a food-forward establishment like, say, Sapsuckers, it's a reasonable choice if I want to tie one on in order to temporarily forget my myriad troubles while also sating my appetite -- and without having to navigate the more crowded environs of Actual Northport or Huntington Village.Most important, and the obvious way to judge the fitness of a bar, is the beer selection. I am a bit of a beer snob -- an aficionado of Belgian beers, to be precise -- so the fact that they have both La Chouffe and Gulden Draak is a plus, more so because my La Chouffe arrived in a La Chouffe tulip glass, not some random Greenpoint tumbler that happened to be clean.What else? The bartenders and servers are friendly, and would probably be even friendlier if I knew how to have a normal conversation. Instead, I'm asking them questions like:"Do you serve any lark? Can I get the chicken sandwich with lark instead? What do you think lark tastes like? Is it OK if I get the chicken sandwich with chicken instead of lark, but after I take a bite I shout loud enough for everyone to hear, 'YUM YUM THAT IS THE BEST DAMN LARK I HAVE EVER HAD'?"FOUR LARKS

Had a family event on the patio on a saturday night. Tim did an amazing job setting everything up. Keri was amazing as our server/hostess and Christopher set us up with solid drinks, no watering down. the chef (I apologize for forgetting his name) was adaptable and put out good pass arounds. ive had two small (25-30 people) events there and i would recommend lark pub and grub to anyone looking to have a smallish event to chill and enjoy good food, good drinks and excellent service.

Excellent rotation of craft beers on tap, always something new to try whenever I'm in there. Food is good quality but nothing out of this world, reasonably priced. What can't be beat are the lunch and happy hour specials, best value for your money of any comparable bar/restaurant in the area.

Place has gone down hill over the years. Most (but not all) of the bartenders only care about their friends or the people who are in there 3 or 4 times a week. Food is grossly inconsistent and only gets worse. Mixed drinks always seem to be watered down or WAY to heavy of a pour. It's just not worth going to any more.
