Armada - Review - Lower East Side - New York - The Infatuation

"Armada is a cocktail bar on the Lower East Side, from the folks behindBeyond The Pale. They’re doing everything from DJ sets, to Guinness pours, to french dip sandwiches. We’ve got our eye on their happy hour, when beer is $7, and cocktails and wine are $12." - Willa Moore

Absolutely adore this place. Came with a friend around 7:15pm on a Monday night. It wasn’t too busy. The atmosphere is inviting and warm. I felt immediately comfortable here. The barmada drink was perfection- their version of a spicy margarita. Spicy, some sweetness, and strong. I got the double smash burger with fries and my friend got the mochiko chicken. The way it’s prepared has some Asian influence, one of the owners mentioned the flour used is the same used for mochi, I think? Both items were really, really tasty. It’s clear that a lot of care and expertise goes into the making of the food and drinks here. We spoke to one of the owners a bit, and he was kind enough to give us a quick tour of the other levels- basement lounge area and upper level bar area. I would recommend this spot to anyone and hope to come back soon.

Really cool spot. Has something for everyone between the cocktail bar downstairs, casual bar ground-level, and cozy lounge upstairs (w fireplace). Each has a unique aesthetic. Great staff, drinks and vibe. Highly recommend. Also a great place to host a private party!

This place is a TRUE hidden gem. I stumbled across Armada after shopping at K&M with a colleague of mine for film material. Stumbled into Armada because the shop was too hot. Just due to conversation we were offered a tour of two additional floors we did not know existed. Great experience each floor is curated Will be back

What a great addition to the neighborhood on Orchard Street! Everything is great about this place. It is brand new but it fits right in. Big up to the owners and the staff as well! They just added a small food menu and it is pretty incredible.

Came here on a Wednesday night for a 222 event - the upstairs is a smaller space but it feel super homey! I ordered a Hugo Spritz and it was so yummy - great place for casual drinks with friends!

Great bar! The drinks are expertly made, and the atmosphere is fantastic. The downstairs club area was an awesome surprise and we had more fun than anticipated. My only recommendation would be to take better care of the restrooms as they definitely need more frequent services (especially during the weekend).

Super cute intimate place for a date night. Good cocktails. We were only in the upstairs section.

8:15 PM. A few tables set out on the sidewalk and street, where bar after bar is packed with people, creating a spot that feels great to be in. A charming place to meet up with friends. Delicious espresso martini and an incredibly waiter.

Came in on a Saturday night with a friend for some drinks, and Armada such a vibey spot! The ground level has a laid back atmosphere with a couple TVs, high tops, space for standing by the bar, and bar seating. It got more packed as the night went on with people standing in front of the bar and just having a good conversation. The staff were all so friendly, inviting and personable. The drinks were unique and flavorful. I tried the mezcal based cocktails Flight Deck & the Sam I am. They also have a selection of beers, wine, and zero proof options. I also had their Mochiko chicken, which was cooked well, nicely crisp on the outside and so juicy on the inside. All I needed was a little bit of a spicy kick and it would've been perfect. The downstairs lounge is a totally different vibe, much more sultry and mysterious with more of a sophisticated club atmosphere. It's perfect for private events, dancing, etc. I loved the dark dim lighting and deep red hues. I did not go up to the second floor, but I hear that it's a super cute, lounge experience perfect for a small group/date night. Overall, it seems like Armada has it all for whatever vibe you're looking for. I recommend making a reservation if you can! I'll definitely be back!
