Skylark Lounge — Restaurant in Denver

I tipped a $1 for 15 seconds of work they did of pouring 3 beers for me and my 2 friends. And they got mad that I didn’t tip more… for 15 seconds of work… that they are already suppose to do. They wanted more. All 3 bartenders told me they won’t serve me and I need to leave because it’s private business and they can do that. That’s fine. that’s their choice and I honor that. But the reason was cuz I didn’t tip more. One of them even tried to take my full glass of beer back that I already paid for the product. How entitled can you be? Tipping is optional. I still tipped a dollar for 15 seconds of work they are already suppose to be doing any ways. They don’t do any cool tricks, don’t tell me any cool stories or anything informational or tip worthy… and I still gave them a dollar. I’ve worked Uber, I get tips sometimes and sometimes I don’t. I don’t cry about it, cuz it’s their choice to tip or not. What a horrible entitled staff that have. And the first guy to make a fit about me only tipping a dollar did say it’s fine at the end. But why even make a such big deal that I don’t tip more than $1 for 15 seconds of the work they did. I still paid in full for the product so why did he attempt to humiliate me openly for not tipping more? I wasn’t even rude to them, didn’t even say nothing to them before, was just talking to fiends and they just openly try to get me for that once they saw I only tipped a dollar. Terrible staff honestly. Don’t work there if you demand tips, or will take my drink away that is already paid for if I don’t tip you what you what you want and think everyone needs to tip you 5 dollar every time they get a drink or 2. Boss,Get less entitled bartenders that are chill and friendly and don’t cry about not getting big tips. greedy entitled folks. Cool place, terrible service...

I went to see one of my favorite local bands at the Skylark on Wednesday 3/27. The band was lovely as usual, drinks were fine and reasonably priced. However, the reason for my review being so poor is because I showed before the show started and literally couldn’t help overhearing the tattooed, female, brunette sound tech behind the booth loudly badmouthing not only the band that was about to play, but apparently every gig she had done sound on at the Skylark prior! As a customer who was excited to see my first Skylark show, I was frankly, rather surprised and offput by the lack of professionalism shown by someone who worked at the venue. No patron of any venue wants to hear from the SOUND TECH of all people that every show she’s done at this venue sounds bad? Unsurprisingly, the band gave a great show despite this, but the lack of tact displayed by a member of the Skylark staff was extremely disappointing as my first impression of the venue. I hope you hire more deserving sound techs in the future, this experience left such a bad impression on me. I’ve worked in the service industry, too! If you’re gonna talk poorly about people, maybe do it quieter so their fans can’t...

Very rude and unwelcoming person at the base of the stairs guarding the upstairs was unwilling to answer any questions and misleading us into getting drinks thinking there was a stair well to the upstairs on the other side of the bar because she seemed disgusted to be at work or something. We only wanted to have one drink and play a game of pool thinking we were coming to the place described in the photos. Tried asking questions unfortunately we asked the wrong person working that night and ended up sitting at a bar to have the one drink then going home afterwards. Next time we will definitely go across the street instead of dealing with the two snotty folks at the door just for asking basic questions about the venue and its amenities. A 16 year old hostess at a breakfast resturaunt can teach them basic customer service instead of acting like highschoolers themselves over something not as serious as they...
