    Back bar

    Wow, I was somewhat nervous to come because it seemed pretty western themed which is not my vibe. But, I got some tips from local bartenders, and I can admit I was quick to judge. First of all, Grand army is not overly western/country. A great balance of feeling like a throwback bar with some classic country elements. The back bar feels vintage and rustic. Both bartenders had on overalls. But, in a hipster, contemporary way. The bar tenders were great. Great conversations and incredible attention to detail. But, they would not give me their mint syrup recipe which is unlike any I have ever seen. Their mint syrup is a deep green with some ground mint in there. Grand army: if you are willing to share your secrets let me know. Both drinks I have were great: the national barn dance and gully jumper. The gully jumper being the clear favorite, and a top 5 I had on my trip. Both rum and gin blend perfectly with the mint, pineapple, and peppercorn. Tiki-esque, but still sophisticated. I kept getting notes of black licorice--which I hate--but it was so amazing. This one is a crusher got sure. Absolutely a perfected cocktail. The national barn dance was also solid. The supporting cast of watermelon and passionfruit were much more subtle, but still good. The mezcal definitely shined through. I wish I would've grabbed a shirt as their merch is really solid. As for the vibes: super casual. Nothing pretentious. It is a soot where everyone feels like they belong. I love that. Fun, whimsical, and well branded. A beautifully curated space with a meticulously crafted bar program. Sign me up all day.

    Cute bar in Brooklyn! I was trying to catch up with friends and the inside felt a little loud, so we opted for the outdoor seating on the street. The vibes were great out there! Drinks were quite good too. Great place to hang out

    This was my first time here and I would definitely come back. I went on Thursday evening and it was pretty busy but able to get a table right away. Only did small bites, popcorn and the deviled eggs. I got the moon and sky cocktail with pisco in it which was sweet but not too sweet. Loved the atmosphere. Good vibes and good service.

    Everything was perfect. Friendly staff when I walked in the door. Nathan found me a solo spot at the bar. The bartender, Pepper, was absolutely lovely and nice to chat with. The food was delicious. I got two each of the three oyster varieties they had. And the scallops with coconut risotto were amazing and cooked to perfection. I loved the wine as well. The red from Languedoc had amazing spice and depth of flavor. I also loved the white from Spain - the epitome of crispness. Another cute thing the do is to rotate their cocktail menu themes. This particular menu was cat themed. They also make merch to go along with each theme. I'm also happy to see that they are part of the Billion Oyster Project. I will definitely be back!

    Was brought here by a dear friend, a neighborhood regular…read more The cocktail was amazing, selection very diverse- many hard-to-find liquors, etc. Bartender was incredibly knowledgable and attentive. My friend and I each order a cocktail, and are catching up. I'm from Brooklyn, however I no longer live here, and this was precious catch-up time with my friend. Then I get interrupted mid-sentence by the old-timer DJ from his low seat in a corner behind the bar. I had bumped the bar with my wrist (bumped my wrist watch as well, not deliberately) and then placed my hand down (granted- more than placed but definitely not slammed), and he decided to warn me that I COULD HAVE made his record skip. It was the Eagles or Santana (far from eclectic, but that's just me). I'm also 99% certain he turned the volume up afterwards, making it even harder to enjoy the company. After that interaction, I struggled to pick it back up with my friend, because I found that distraction very effing rude. When this "4th wall" gets broken down with service, it is hard to then enjoy the space in an uninhibited state. I am all for the Tokyo Vinyl Bar vibe, and I'm also for also giving talent an outlet to share their collection, but this interaction colored my experience, and I closed out after one drink and went elsewhere. I mentioned this to the bartender, and he was kind to offer a buy-back of a rare whiskey, which I did accept. 5 stars for the bartender, but 1 for my experience. I don't like to be harsh or unnecessarily cruel, but this is what it is. I have visited in the past and enjoyed myself. Nonetheless, I certainly won't be coming back.

I've made it a point to visit every vinyl listening bar that I learn of in town, after enjoying the shared experience of someone curating a select vinyl list in intimate spaces in Tokyo. Few have been able to replicate the experience, but Honeycomb Hi Fi Lounge comes close. That the space is narrow with just a few seats along the bar and a few tables mimics the Japanese experience best, where you can almost have it so the whole room is having one conversation together. The music is the focus. The cocktail menu is rather simple, and my Stormbringer drink, with dark rum and ginger beer was not anything to write home about, but $15 is pretty low for cocktails these days so I'll take it. If they introduced new cocktails to the menu with more interesting ingredients I'd be more inclined to return, but the vibes overall are pretty good and the staff really nice.

The stars finally aligned this winter and I had the opportunity to try it out. The vibes are perfect. Fog and bubbles, sea noises and all of the art go together seemlessly. Drinks were great. We had three and left suitably sloshed for the night with no aftereffects. We didn't have too many bites but the food was very good for a bar. I'm excited to go back and I hope we have just as much luck getting in next time.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

Unfortunately this place fell very flat. Leading with what we liked: Their mocktail offerings were good, promising a 0.0% ABV which is hard to come across when mocktails are offered. They serve oysters, which adds to that aphrodisiac experience of the oh so 'wow this is a former brothel!'. The bartenders and servers were fast and very sociable with the more sociable customers. The immediate entrance is very tight, and it was uncomfortable navigating the space. We expected there'd be more seating in the back, which there was, but it was limited and not offered to us until we asked for it. We honestly had no clue where it would be and only asked because of how this place was advertised. While it was comfy once we made our way back there, it was reminiscent of a lounge style bar space that almost any bar could replicate with the right room and budget. We didn't feel as though this hit the spot and were let down by this experience. I'm not sure if I can judge the menu of drinks/ foods as expensive, but we left hungry bc we couldn't justify some of the prices. In addition, I've seen a lot of complaints about the volume of the music: it's definitely loud at the front but a lot lower in that back lounge space. It's as loud as any bar's music level would be, but truth be told we were expecting music that matched the vibe of what was advertised and yes, at a lower volume.
