Skylark

On our lists of the best cocktail bars, live music venues, activities and arcades & games in New York.

From the team behind Carroll Gardens' Abilene, this Park Slope storefront runs on mismatched thrift-store furniture, broken-in couches and a bank of vintage pinball machines — Theatre of Magic, Medieval Madness, Fish Tales. The kitchen runs to bar food: mac 'n' cheese, tater tots, sandwiches, alongside beer on tap and cocktails. Music swings between live jazz and blues DJ nights, and the patio out back stays open until midnight, an hour before last call.
