Folks are already calling this new Pilsen spot opened up by the owners of the Rainbo Club the "Rainbo: Reloaded." Staffed, like its forebear, with a hipster who's who, and with the only decorations in the dive Masonic-like flags, Skylark appears a hybrid of its Ukrainian Village counterpart as well as the booth-filled and roomy California Clipper in Humboldt Park. A visit to the Skylark around 10pm on a Saturday found a rather sparse crowd, but word has it that weekends have been filling up lately.

Skylark, 2149 South Halsted, (312)948-5275.
