The Skylark
Cocktail Lounge · New York, NY
About
Open from 5pm to midnight daily, The Skylark is a 30th-floor rooftop cocktail lounge in Times Square with sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline. It's trans-friendly and draws a mixed crowd of locals, travelers, and 30- to 50-somethings, making it a solid choice for after-work drinks or a date. The bar serves classic cocktails and small bites, and the space includes both indoor nooks and an outdoor terrace.
Reservations are recommended, especially on busier nights like Wednesday through Friday. The vibe is upscale but not stuffy, with a modern interior and plenty of photo-worthy skyline backdrops. If you're in Hell's Kitchen, nearby venues like Please Don't Tell offer a very different speakeasy experience worth checking out.
