Bar

I really liked the decor, the bartender was quirky and my margarita was good. I came in on a whim for happy hour. I would have stayed longer but the music was too loud and it was so random and it did not fit the bar style at all. After me, 3 couples came in, and the only couple that was there when I came in left shortly after I got there. The music made me want to leave and a couple that came in after me seemed visibly annoyed and left immediately after one drink. If it was quieter and less auto-tune generic pop/ random play list it would make it a nicer vibe.

We have walked past this place many times but often it is closed for private events. On a cold Saturday evening we decided to stop in for a cocktail, There were seats with small tables, but they were all taken, so we decided to sit at the bar. The place is cozy and inviting. The bartender was efficient and non-pressuring. He handled the crowd well, since he was the only bartender on this evening. I ordered the Armory Toddy, to warm up from the cold. It was good, but a big strong for me. My daughter had the Peach Puebla, a blend of tequila, aperol, rhubarb liqueur mixed with their homemade peach tea. Their happy hour is 5-8 p.m during the week, which is longer than most places and we have heard they have a nice outdoor area when the weather is warmer. Would stop in again.

Beer, wine, and COVID guidelines

This place has shown a bit of humor in their drinks naming during these pandemic times. It's pretty amusing and I appreciate it. Came here on a Wednesday night, the backyard was beautifully decorated with a couple other parties seated (far enough away). The staff were really friendly. I got the This Ish is Bananas which was sweet and deliciously tropical. My partner got the Mr. Litchfield which he loved, and then the Oaxaca Flocka Flame which he thought was a bit too sweet. I'm not a fan of mezcal so I didn't like it. We split the cassava puffs. These were amazing and cheesy. Would definitely order that again. COVID times assessment: The backyard is a great getaway from street seating or your couch. They space the tables comfortably far away from each other and there's hand sanitizer on every table. Bug spray around too. They have quite a few rules though so beware (time limits and $25 min spending Thurs through Saturday).

I fell for this place because it's beautiful, has quality drinks, good service, and pleasant patrons. I can't ask for more really except a full food menu I was supposed to meet someone who was running late and I needed food. The bartender was kind enough to tell me what's near and I came back. My first drink was not a match for my palate so he made me another and didn't charge me. I tried several others with tweaks or as is on the menu. I'm a fan of the bee hive and Texan mule with tequila. I ended up meeting several people by sitting at the bar - a couple on a date, a group celebrating, and a mother having "me" time before heading home. I felt so welcome that I came back a few days later and the drinks were still as good.

Stop reading and just go here. Seriously this is my fav bar in Brooklyn. If you are close to Barclays make this a destination stop. They have charcuterie board and bar bits. Did I mention the bomb ass happy hour that ends at 8pm. Thanks Kenneth Patrick for a great time and your Sex and the City knowledge.

The Armory has to be one of my favorite bars... it's truly adorable and cute. Very cozy and warm. A great place if you want to catch up or get to know a person. Drinks are made to look pretty while you try to talk yourself up on a date (or in general). I got the Cranberry Jam- which had bourbon, cranberry jam, fresh orange and bitters. It was good, but strong. My date had the Pearent Teacher cocktail which he seems to enjoy. Great ambiance and would definitely stop by again

I hosted my best friend's Bridal Shower at the Armory this past weekend and I could not be anymore happier with the space and the staff. From the very beginning, Oscar was attentive and accommodating. Oscar and his business partner (sorry I forgot his name) were attentive, friendly, professional, and accomodating throughout the entire event. Even in such difficult times, especially for restaurants/bars, the staff at the Armory exuded so much kindness. The event was beyond my expectations and I highly recommend having an event here or just stopping in to support a local business.

Loved the armory before and even more now in a covid world. Beautiful backyard w well spaced tables w hand sanitizer and bug spray handy. Expertly made cocktails and nibbles. Friendly and attentive service. I always have a great time here and love taking new people here! One of my favorite bars in the city.

The Armory is my fave neighborhood bar. In addition to creative cocktails, KP the bartender is a breathing Wikipedia who can talk about ANYthing with ANYone. Often times I tell myself I'm only having one drink and end up having hours of conversation with the bartender and other patrons. It also has a pretty swanky backyard, really good for private events. And get there before sunset to catch the perfect selfie lighting shining through the front door!

What a friggin VIBE. Maybe I need to get out more but we were in the area for a show at Barclays…read moreand I looked up where to go afterwards on a few different platforms, and sweet Polly sounded like my vibe. It's this almost speak easy vibe behind big dark doors, you enter into a quaint space with small cocktail tables for seating and bar room. The cocktails were simply outrageous. Crafted to perfection with potion bottles used as finishers (yes potion bottles for their perfect witch craft making bartenders!) I think I enjoyed the bartenders work ethics as a concept the most. Sure the place was hitting the nail on the head for any speak easy, specialty cocktail seeking person's dream. But the fact that the bartenders were straight ripping through putting out eclectic drinks, with a smile on their face that was genuine was most impressive. I want to go back not just because I'm in the area. I'll go out of my way for this one. Nice job Sweet Polly!

What a beautiful space! This spot is very well decorated and the staff is super friendly. We just…read morepopped in for some quick drinks but tried the nut mix which was delicious. I got an amaretto sour which is my usual, and they went very traditional and even did some cute hearts on top! Fabulous! My only complaint was that for the place not being busy at the time, it really took way too long for things to come out. 15-20+ minutes for drinks. They do offer water which was nice.
