The Skylark

New York

The Skylark is an all-season cocktail lounge 30 stories above Seventh Avenue at West 39th Street in Midtown, with views of the Empire State Building, Hudson Yards and Times Square. Floor-to-ceiling sliding windows wrap multi-level interiors that mix private nooks with communal seating, and a rooftop terrace adds open-air space for sunset drinks. The bartenders focus on creative takes on classic cocktails, and the house signatures include Hot Hibiscus with tequila and ancho verde, Whiskey Business with bourbon, blackberry and corn silk, and More Passion, More Energy, alongside frozen drinks and spirit-free options. It opens to the public Monday to Friday from 5pm, guests must be 21 or over, and business or smart casual dress is suggested.
