• wedding reception

  We just had our wedding here, And it was so beautiful and seamless and perfect that I cry happy tears every time I think about it. The venue staff are just amazing human beings. They took all of the stress off me for my special day and understood everything that needed to be done, I really felt like they were on my team. The location is stunning of course, the food was amazing, and coming back after the party to some Takeaway gifts in the bridal suite was just the cherry on top. Worth every penny, I planned this whole wedding from start to finish in 10 days and prepared for it in two months, and I really could not have done it without them taking so much of the weight off my shoulders. And since it was so close to Times Square, we got to run through it after the party in my wedding dress which was the most special and iconic experience of my life.

• wedding reception

  The first time we visited The Skylark, after spending a while scouting rooftops around the city, we were immediately blown away by the delicious bites, quality cocktails, and genuinely kind staff. That was the moment we knew this had to be our wedding venue. We held our wedding there in February 2026, and the staff were amazing, accommodating, and professional throughout the entire process. We were so happy we trusted them with such a special day. Our guests had a wonderful time and could not stop complimenting both the venue and the staff. The Skylark has now become a place that is truly special to us, and it is somewhere we will continue coming back to. Thank you again to The Skylark team!

• private event dinner

  Was at a private event in A corner room. View was amazing and the food was really delicious. The burrata salad was wonderfully dressed. The steak came with potato pave that was delightful And too many desserts.

• corporate team event

  This stunning bar offers breathtaking views of the city skyline, including the Empire State Building. I visited with the team for an event, so I didn’t get a chance to explore the full menu, but the appetizers served were absolutely delicious—every single one! My favorite was the lamb rack. While the cocktail selection was somewhat limited, the options available were well-crafted and enjoyable. The atmosphere was inviting, and the staff were warm and attentive.

• friends birthday drinks, party of 6

  We were supposed to be 6 friends at the rooftop, we ordered a table and 5 of the group were sitting on the table with drinks (some were also for me) I came at 11:30 after they made sure I could just join the table (which had space). However, the guard at the building wouldn’t let me go up and insisted they were closed – even though my friends were already inside and told me they could stay for another 45 minutes. The guy at the entrance was extremely rude and aggressive. Overall, a terrible and unacceptable experience! *happened on 18th to August
