My fiancé and I recently threw an engagement party at The Armory. The staff were nice and easy to work with. The food and drinks were freshly made and delicious. The bar area is a fun atmosphere. We had just over 60 people attend and the space did not feel crowded, the bar was never backed up, & the prices were very reasonable considering the area. If you are looking for a spot to throw your next party, I highly recommend Oscar & his team at the Armory.
This is a nice cocktail spot, but I’m mostly a wine drinker and didn’t really like the wine selections. It’s also open later than a lot of other places nearby, so fits for the “nightcap” drink.Owner/bartender slightly ornery, which is not my cup of tea - but gets the job done.3.5⭐️

We celebrated our holiday office party here in December. We used the separate space and it was great. We were very happy with the service, the catering food options and the atmosphere. Will definitely come back.

I'll start by saying I'm somewhat of a bias reviewer because my first (blind) date with my now husband was at their previous location and the great cocktails and food kept us talking there all night ♥️ That said, we just had a lovely evening (6 years later) at their new (? not sure how long it's been) spot.We tried a variety of cocktails and all were perfection (hopefully you'll get Mikey as a bartender, he's a gem). My favorites were the Peach Puebla and the Monterey Daze, which has a nice kick. Their food is tasty and presented well. Don't miss the casava puffs, they definitely hit the right balance of not too heavy or light when you're having a cocktail or two.

Maybe it was the orange sky playing tricks on me. But the moment I walked into The Armory, I had a dejavu feeling like I had been there before, even though it was my first time.I believe that's the beauty of how cool and inviting it is on the inside. Due to showing up on a day with yucky weather, I couldn't check out the outdoor space.The bartender was amazing, and their cocktails were superb. I had a glass of soldiers and sailors and later an English chocolate stout. Both drinks were pretty good. Cocktails aren't cheap, but then again, is anything these days?I recommend The Armory for a date night for adults.Wheelchair accessibility: I wouldn't recommend it to someone in a wheelchair. Getting into the arena and out isn't worth the stress.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the remarkable experience we had at The Armory where we recently hosted my husband's graduation party. From start to finish, the Armory exceeded all our expectations, providing an unforgettable celebration that will be cherished for years to come.The Armory's unique industrial-chic ambiance blended effortlessly with the celebratory atmosphere, creating an extraordinary backdrop for our event. The spacious layout allowed for seamless mingling and provided ample room for our guests to move around comfortably. I really loved all the biophilic design incorporated into the atmosphere (lots of greenery and grounding elements).The staff at the Armory deserves special recognition for their exceptional service and unwavering professionalism. Oscar was responsive to my messages before hand and attentive to every detail throughout the event, from pacing out the appetizers to helping me cut and hand out the cake that we were allowed to bring in from an outside vendor.The Armory's commitment to excellence was evident throughout the event, as their staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their dedication and professionalism were truly commendable.If you're looking for a venue to host your special event, look no further than the Armory - you won't be disappointed! Thank you once again to the entire team at the Armory for making our celebration truly extraordinary.

Great craft cocktails with something for every taste. If you love bourbon or mezcal, this is especially a great place for you.
Just went last night and had a phenomenal time. First and foremost, the cocktails were exceptional. I wasn’t 100% sure what I wanted when I walked in, and the bartender/co-owner, KP, was happy to talk me through the menu. The space was super cool, and it was clean and comfortable. Great bar overall, and I definitely plan to come back soon.

We checked out the new iteration of the Armory tonight and it will be our go to spot in the neighborhood. The location is convenient and ideal for a pre- Barclays Center drink. The drinks were well-made and reasonable priced, and the bartender and owner, KP, offered great conversation and service.Don’t miss out this neighborhood gem

The Armory is back!! I have fond memories of their first location a few blocks up. So excited to see they have reopened after a tough couple of years for the city. Delicious, expertly crafted cocktails. They have something for everyone's tastes. Looking forward to sampling them all.

Great neighborhood spot just a few blocks from our apartment. Low key, good drinks, solid bites. But the best part is definitely the back patio, which has been clutch through COVID times. Great place to linger and not feel rushed. Good place for a conversation.

Such a cool bar with friendly faces all around. Best beers in the city.
