Lark's is an upscale establishment catering to the wealthy of Ishgard. The establishment is owned and upkept by a Baron under House Dzemael. Lark's is unique among Ishgardian gentlemen's clubs in that it does not require a preexisting membership but is open to any man who is willing to pay for a drink. The steep prices are the only barrier to entry, so clientele often remains on the high end.

    ㅤ
    Lark's is heavily inspired by the historical gentlemen's club from the Bridgerton series, White's.

    Rules

    1. Lark's is based on Georgian-era gentlemen's clubs, not to be confused with the contemporary definition of "gentlemen's club," Lark's does not offer NSFW roleplay in any form. Do not make excessive jokes or allusions to "expecting the other kind of gentlemen's club" as it negatively impacts the atmosphere.2. To remain in line with this, all clientele at Lark's must be male or male-adjacent genders (ie. binary trans men, masculine nonbinary folk, etc). Anyone who identifies as a 'gentleman' is welcome. If you are unsure, feel free to DM the owner Florin Colombe @ Maduin for clarification.3. In line with Rule 1, the venue's rating should be kept PG-13 / T regarding content. Boisterous, flirtatious, or "adult" content may be present but should be kept reasonable.4. Lark's is not by nature a "gay bar" but is LGBTQ+ friendly. We do not tolerate bigotry or discriminatory behavior. If clientele say they are a man or male identifying, that is not for any other clientele to question.5. Any and all staff will be marked with the green LOOKING FOR PARTY icon. Most nights, it will only be Florin on staff, as this is not a "roleplay customer service" venue but a social club. Feel free to control NPC bartenders as there will not be a live bartender on staff most nights.

    6. All gil is completely in character, but tips are appreciated and will go directly to any staff working that night. No items will be exchanged.7. Fighting is not permitted on Lark's premises. All physical fights should be taken outside.8. Smoking is permitted at Lark's, but should be limited to cigars and cigarettes. Other substances are strictly prohibited.9. Discussion of in-game politics and events is allowed and encouraged, however, avoid being inflammatory towards the other patrons. Lark's draws crowds from all walks of life and this should be considered when engaging in political conversations. Targeted antagonism without prior consent from the player(s) involved is not permitted.10. We are a SyncShell friendly venue. Please click here for more information.
