Armoury DE

We hit Armoury in Deep Ellum again for a guys night before Christmas. I wasn't planning on shooting any content, but their cocktails are so impressive I had to. The cocktail in the foreground is As Above, So Below and Rise of the Gargoyles is behind it. I've posted on Rise of the Gargoyles before so won't repeat its amazingness. I'll include the recipe again. We were quite impressed with the presentation of As Above, So Below. It is a Sour on steroids with incredible presentation. You have the choice of bourbon or tequila to complement the hibiscus-pink peppercorn tea syrup , lemon juice, and sage. I'm not sure how they incorporate the sage flavor. I chose bourbon for mine, but others had tequila which they liked a lot. It's quite the masterpiece with the hibiscus-peppercorn tea syrup being poured over a flower-molded ice cube. It's just damn fun. What's fun about this presentation is your cocktail changes color and flavor as the ice cube dilutes and the syrup seeps into the glass. I love this creativity and effort. This kind of quality and vibe is why I believe Armoury is one of the best cocktails bars in Dallas. With 7 of us, we tried almost all of their holiday menu (last photo). The cocktails were as fun as the makeup of the menu. Well done!!I had to also include a photo of the Bella Lugosi Dracula painting. Who else would be prominently displayed in a Hungarian Pub, but the famous Hungarian American actor famous for his portrayal of Dracula in the 1931 classic film?If you haven't already, you need to make the effort and enjoy some delicious Hungarian food and cocktails at Armoury. You'll love it.

actually a really cool spot physically but ive been 3 times now and each time the food was decent, the service was lacking. i dealt with different ppl on each occasion and the vibe is always as if i'm bothering them and they have something better to do. unfortunate. won't be going back.

Amazing cocktails, fantastic service, great food... bring back the octopus!!!Vibe is also super sick.

Such friendly service and great drink choices! I love the vibe here. They have both indoor and outdoor seating in the back.

The food, service, and ambiance here makes this establishment one of my favorite stops in Deep Ellum. Easter European influenced menu on both the food and libations.

Delicious cocktails in deep Ellum and a beautiful patio. When I say delicious cocktails I mean from craft ingredients down to matching bar ware and legit. If clear ice rocks! I had a Bonnie and Clyde and I can honestly say it's a delicious cocktail. The service was great as well. We sat on the back patio and our server brought us all our amazing cocktails and you could tell they were not mass produced. Highly recommend this spot!

Great spot in Deep Ellum for hand crafted cocktails. Unlike many of the other bars that offer generic drinks and margarita happy hours, Armoury DE has an extensive list of cocktails with unique ingredients. Chamomile-black sesame orgeat, papaya, apple brandy, cherry wood smoke, pandan, they've got it. The drinks are all made by hand and you can tell the bartenders really care about making a good drink. The inside is what I would call "dark moody" and had a kind of medieval, old Hungarian feel. There's plenty of bar seating, a few small tables and a patio out back. While we didn't order food, I did see that a table nearby got the customized charcuterie board which looked fantastic (skip to the last page of the menu - it's easy to miss). Really enjoyed this spot. Check them out.

Armoury DE has been on my list to try since we moved to Dallas a year and a half ago. I love octopus and they came up with lots of reviews when I did a yelp search. What was I waiting for?? The octopus was awesome! Really well seasoned with yummy crunchy bits while still being tender. Husband got a burger with egg and demolished it. He raved to our server about how delicious it was. We came here on a Sunday around 2pm but they had the option of brunch (Saturday/Sunday) or the regular menu. Service was attentive without hovering and the decor was really cool. We're definitely adding this to our downtown/Deep Ellum restaurant rotation.

One of the highlights of our weekend in Dallas! All the food was delicious. Everyone in our four person party was impressed. Especially my Romanian husband who appreciated having some flavors that reminded him of growing up in Eastern Europe. Cocktails were really tasty too!

TL;DR: a chill bar with creative cocktails and hearty bites.I stopped by for a quick bite for dinner while in Deep Ellum. I was on my own, so I just found a seat at the bar. It wasn't very busy for a Friday evening, but I've heard some people like to drop by after a night of drinking.Ambience: if you've been to Ruins around the corner, Armoury is basically the Hungarian pub version (owned by the same people): a cozy, low-key bar with a somewhat alternative aesthetic.Service: didn't catch her name, but the bartender was friendly and very efficient - she continued to check in on things but seemed to always be on the move!Drinks: like Ruins, there was an extensive menu of creative cocktails with a wide variety of flavors and ingredients. I had the Mystic Mirror, which was sweet and rich from the combination of Thai tea, coffee liqueur, lavender, and cinnamon.Food: I got the Pörkölt, which was a beef roast with spaetzle and sour cream. It was a big portion, but luckily I brought a big appetite. The flavors were relatively mild, but the dish was hearty, filling, and definitely fit the Eastern European stereotype of meat + starch.Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would return to try other cocktails and some other bites, maybe to wrap up a night of bar hopping.
