About Lark
Neighborhood Bar & Restaurant
Lark, located in Chicago’s North Halsted neighborhood, has been a casual, relaxed neighborhood gathering spot for decades. Lark’s dining experience is hip, friendly and fun, perfect for date night, groups, weekday dinner or weekend brunch with the family.
The food menu features “best of” casual comfort food including artisan wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizza, burgers, sandwiches and entrées. The cocktail menu features whimsical, refreshing cocktails that evoke Lark’s spacious outdoor patio and casual vibe.
The walnut-finished oak bar features craft beers, an extensive wine selection, signature cocktails, and our popular mule drinks which are the perfect additions to any appetizers or entrées. Play one of our classic board games while you cozy up by the fire in the winter or enjoy brunch out on our patio during the sunny months.

3 Nebraska ladies stranded when their AirBnB fell through (or was a scam) and we came into Lark and were treated so WONDERFULLY by the staff and the OWNER. We were confused and on foot with suitcases with no where to go, and they jumped into action to help us try to find another Airbnb while we had a delicious lunch! THANK YOU so so much! What a wonderful introduction to your city! We greatly appreciate everything you did to help us!

I was traveling from out of town and initially felt a little nervous because I wasn't sure how inclusive the restaurant would be. However, the host immediately put me at ease--she was an amazing greeter and set a welcoming tone as soon as I walked in. Honestly, if the vibe had been off, I would have left, but she truly sold it! We dined in on a Monday night around 7 PM. Our server was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The decor was stylish, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the seating was very comfortable. Our server took our orders promptly, and everything came out on time. The drink specials were great, and overall, the low-key vibe was exactly what I needed after a long weekend. The Food: The pizza was cooked perfectly--not doughy at all, which I really appreciated. The tater tots were delicious, and the side Caesar salad was a generous portion, perfect for sharing.

So we decided we will spend the Saturday night bar hopping. We came to Lark Restaurant for food, but ended up staying for the Karaoke night. What a fun and lively night. The ambiance is lively, fun and welcoming. The food is exceptionally delicious. The drinks are impressive and potent. The service is attentive. Amazing and memorable night.read moreread lessRuss L. 3/09/2025

Our server was very kind and helpful and the food and drinks were great! My fiancé was elated to see that they had THC beverages! I was elated to see the size of the chicken wings! Highly recommend the chicken wings! I’ve been thinking of them ever since! Their cocktails are great. I love their duck mules and especially love that I get to keep the duck! This place is great and we can’t wait to go back perhaps for bingo!read moreread less
