With Yelp as our divining rod to guide us to new food in Deep Ellum, we discovered Armoury DE, drawn in by Charred Pulpo, a full octopus on a plate, cooked in Spanish Spices and served with savory oil. This unique and tasty appetizer does not disappoint and sets the bar for the rest of the greatness that is Armoury DE. We started with drinks. The Caravan is a fruity, spicy concoction that blends savory with sweet. We tried the Satan, Sex, & No Regrets shooter as a cocktail and it was also delicious. In our three visits the beer selection rotated, each time including a dark beer I could enjoy. Debreceni is a pork chop stuffed with sausage and vegetables served over scalloped potatoes with a tomato sauce. It is stellar. Hortobagyi Palacsinta, a Hungarian style crepe with pulled chicken, pepper, onions and tomatoes, with a paprika sauce, was also amazing though not quite at the level of Debreceni. Even harder to pronounce. The atmosphere is dark and moody, like a northern European pub. Service has been strong every time. With all the great food in Deep Ellum, we are very much in a rut coming back to Armoury DE! read more

Overdue review from my visit in Dec 2019- I was in town for work, and my coworker found this gem through an app. We gave it a shot and were glad we did. We enjoyed the casualness of a bar, but the food was far from the typical bar snacks. We ordered the Hungarian style meatballs and cheese curds to share. I got the chicken paprikas as a main. Everything was just cheesy enough, crispy enough, juicy and nicely seasoned! Nice mix of textures and flavors- Great experience! read more

This is a great Hungarian restaurant/bar that has a menu almost as interesting as its decor. The decor is very macabre and occult. The service was good, friendly, and informative. The flat bread and burgers were great. All the drinks we had were great. read more

Great drinks and vibe. Staff was nice and offered some great drink suggestions. Music on the patio was a vibe.

The Cocktails are the crown jewel of this place, with so many options and unique concoctions. I ended up getting the black magic drink, which probably works best during cold months, but even with it even a (somewhat) mild August evening, it was what I was in the mood for. The Benny Houdini sandwich is their rendition of a monte cristo and it was quite the delight! A delicious thick batter fried to a crisp on the outside, while never feeling too dense or doughy. Depending on your appetite, the sandwich "bites" aren't that big, but if youre ordering other apps and drinks, the sandwich should be good enough. They give you a generous amount of raspberry sauce to dip the sandwich bites into. The Cheese Spaetzel was actually pretty tasty! This feels like the kind of mac and cheese you get at thanksgiving due the texture. It's a decent sized portion for one person but its easily shareable for two. Their Brussel Sprouts are a sorry excuse for a restaurant. For how great everything else was, this felt like they steamed them straight outta the bag and straight onto my plate. This is probably great for someone who's on a strict diet, but for everyone else, these are a chore to eat. No seasoning, no char, no spices, and no other flavor than just plain old brussel sprouts. Their fried bread langos is ALWAYS delicious, but I knew this time it would take me over the tipping point with everything else I ordered. read more

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. read more

I used to always come here for the schnitzel and drinks. They recently changed their menu completely to one pathetic page with maybe 6 items on it. When I asked the bartender about the new menu she was extremely rude. For a place I once loved I won't be returning anymore. read more

A little bit disappointed I gotta say. Pros: 1. Interior design is pretty cool. Very dark and very gothic. 2. Drinks are pretty amazing. We ordered the black magic and Bonnie and Clyde. Delicioso! Cons: 1. Food is either a bit too salty or no flavor whatsoever. Just strange 2. The waitress looks like she really doesn't want to be there. Forgot our orders and looked indifferent. 3. Too hot read more

Great place for a cocktail. The bartenders are friendly and informative. The smoked old fashioned is a piece of art. The process and detail that goes into making the drink is amazing to watch. Check them out. read more

This is my favorite bar in Dallas. I love the vibe and aesthetic and everything I've tried has been delicious. The drinks are inventive, attractive and balanced, with good flavor and interesting pairings. I love the charcuterie board, so many interesting things on it and pretty filling. A great value for the cost, too. The staff is knowledgeable and kind. If you aren't sure what you want; ask! They always give great recommendations. read more

Can't comment on the food but wow these cocktails are amazing! If you look behind the bar there are SO many ingredients and our bartender did not skip a beat. We got there when it was pretty empty so we were able to chat with the staff and learn a little about what they have. All of the cocktails have complicated and balanced flavor. The place is dark and adheres to a theme. I'd definitely come back! read more

Place won't last. Bartenders have the worst attitudes I've experienced in a while. Clearly bad management, staff or both. No excuse for poor treatment for no reason. Ambiance is interesting at best, but not a fan and doesn't match with a bourbon/ whiskey vibe - see pictures. Was one of 4 very disappointed customers, but I'm the only one leaving a review because I left there more pissed off from their attitudes. Still left a 20% tip. Won't be back. read more

After stopping by the Ruins, we were told we had to check out their other restaurant Armoury DE. This is a cocktail bar with a Hungarian inspired menu. We had just ate, so we decides to have a few cocktails. I had the lulu clavo and I do not recall what my coworker had. My cocktail came out with a charred jalapeno innl it which was a nice touch. Even though I am not normally a tequila drinker, this cocktail was very good. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Arnoury DE. The cocktails were on point and we would surely return. read more

Was not expecting the diverse food menu they had, it was delicious. The atmosphere was also very stylish dive and the food matched the vibe just didn't expect that cuisine. At places like this it is usually good but it is elevated bar food and can sometimes still feel unhealthy. Here they had such a variety, I ended up ordering the chicken thighs prepared paprika style with spätzle. Cooked and seasoned really nice and the overall dish was great. The cocktails are fun and inventive too. read more

See my in-depth review on Instagram @dlireviews! :) Stopped by since I have been tackling the Dallas Top 100. I ordered their Charred Pulpo and the house fries as a side. The charred pulpo was DELICIOUS. Thick and tender cuts of three octopus tentacles with just the right amount of flare. The octopus taste comes thru nicely with a touch of spice, and the melted butter sauce adds so well to each bite. I could seriously eat this all day. I also got house fries to change up my palate. Very crisp with a light sprinkle of cheese, and well portioned. Pairs well with any entree in my opinion! Very friendly and polite service too; they checked on my frequently to make sure I was doing ok. Great people here! PROS: - charred pulpo was delicious, thick cuts and great portion - interior ambiance was well kept and feels homey - wide drinks selection - plentiful menu options for food - great price point for the quality of food - very friendly service CONS: - none! :) read more

Was looking for a good place to grab a bite late night in Deep Ellum, and this place fit the bullSausage: 3/5 Tasty but not particularly memorable. Still a good small bite! Charred Pulpo: 5/5 I loved this!!! The octopus comes with tentacles intact (just a warning for those who may not like seeing that), and it was absolutely delicious. Cooked perfectly with the exterior having just the right amount of char to it. The sauce elevated the octopus Mangalica Fasirt: 4/5 This tasted great with the side of potatoes! It was too heavy for me, and I think having something to add to the freshness would have really completed the dish. To be fair, I'm not very familiar with Hungarian food, so this may just be the style. Looking at other reviews, this place seems to be known for its drinks, so I'm excited to come by again to try those out! Great spot for a late night bite in a hip area of Dallas. read more

Best spot to chill, for a late night drink. If you like earthy drinks this is the spot!

Our server tonight was fantastic! I asked for an obscure liquor and she not only recommended an excellent selection but also made a point to deliver a unique experience for us. We stayed for some house cocktails (also excellent) and she was very attentive and social to give us a top notch experience. I would love to come back next time I'm in town and hope she is our server again because she made our night. read more

Lady bar tender was so rude to me and my friends, I didn't even think she was being serious. Then someone asked her how she was, and she mumbled "busy" and rolled her eyes. Was kinda unbelievable and uncomfortable. Needless to say we had one drink and I made sure to leave her a big 50 cent tip. Pick another job if you hate yours so much asshole read more

Came here for a cocktail to end my Deep Ellum excursion and the cocktail was on point!!! What!!!! This is the kind of place that brings theater to cocktail making.

I had some friends in town for the day that didn't know much about the areas here in the Metroplex so of course I took them to Deep Ellum (one of my favorite areas). While walking the streets trying to decide about places to go into we passed here. I briefly glanced in and it had a divey yet sophisticated look so we decided to stop in. I'm glad we did. They were not busy at the time (Saturday around 1pm on a day it's been raining on and off) but we sat at the bar instead of a booth. The bartender was super chill and he was a great conversationalist. We ordered some mimosas and what's amazing is that you get to pick your own flavor (we got blackberry pictured below). Now typically this just means you get a different juice poured in but instead they do it as more of an infusion. So you get the full flavor of your choosing without all the sugar you can get from some juices. Their drink menu is rather extensive and if the picture of the bar is any indication you should know you will find your favorite liquor here. While we only enjoyed our one drink and left we did see the food others ordered and watch the bartender make drinks. The food looked amazing and truly Hungarian. This place is like a dive bar mixology heaven. They pride themselves on freshness and the experience a drink can give you and it shows when you watch them make the drinks. So while I cannot fully review their food and all their drinks I can say for certain that I will probably become a local here when I'm in DE. Go check it out and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Oh, if you're hungry they breakfast menus is only from 11-3 Friday through Sunday so make sure to go during those times. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed this place! We actually didn't intend to come here, but were hungry on Christmas Eve and their kitchen was open until 1:45am! Nice!! Fairly small space, but nice atmosphere and great customer service! Their drinks were delicious and the food was damn good - freshly made. Hubs really loved the "Damn Burger" and we shared some amazing potatoes as well as veggie samosas. The samosas were huge!! And the pepper sauce they served with the samosas was friggin good!! The one thing, or forewarning, I will give about this space is that it's right in the middle of Elm Street and they keep their front door open...so this leads to a myriad of homeless people traipsing in and asking for money from patrons. There was also one homeless guy that came in yelling at the top of his lungs that someone stole his cell phone. But, the staff make sure to escort them out in a nice manner, so it wasn't too much of an issue. I'm glad we found this spot and we will definitely be back! read more

Was craving pulpo and this place did not disappoint. It was perfectly tender and the dipping sauce paired perfectly with it. We also got the schnitzel with spatzel that was perfectly thin and crispy.

Good place to come for drinks and food . Just that deep ellum is becoming a dump now in this area it's sad. No one wants to come around this area no more.

Came in as my last stop as part of a downtown/Deep Ellum crawl. It was suggested to me by another bartender from an earlier stop. The lighting is low and the vibe is chill, almost to the point of being a speakeasy, but not pretentious at all. The spirit selection on the wall is stupefyingly impressive. There were two bartenders. One was incredible. He walked me through the variety of menu options asking the right questions regarding how spirit-forward I liked my drinks and what other flavor profiles I was looking for. I ended up getting two different cocktails, each were delicious and definitely sip-worthy, not quaffable. Unfortunately, the other bartender was new and didn't know much, I hope, yet. I would 100% go back and try more of their concoctions. read more

Came to this place with some friends on Tuesday night 10/15 which was not busy at all. I invited some friends here who were from out of town because I previously had a great experience and wanted to share this with them. However, that was far from the case. We sat at the bar top (group of 4 guys), just ordered an 2nd drink and we were speaking Spanish. The male bartender walks over to us and throws napkins at us and makes a racist comment to us about being Hispanic. We tried to ignore him since we were focused on enjoying each others company and thought it was odd that he did this. Next, the blonde female bartender told us we were speaking too loudly (although there's music blaring and other people were speaking louder). To remain peaceful, we apologized if our volume was too loud and spoke softer. During the middle of our 2nd drink, she and the male bartender walk over to us and tell us they are kicking us out. This is suppose to be an establishment that is respectful to their customers & provides quality service however, these 2 extremely rude and racist employees have ruined our experience. Although the drinks are typically great quality, the disrespect was unbearable. I suggest they get some lessons on how to be polite to customers before they run everyone off. DO NOT go into this establishment as they treat their customers unfairly, disrespectfully, and are racist. read more

Such a coooool place to hang out low key and have a nice meal. I walked in here for the first time on Saturday afternoon. The two bartenders were super warm and welcoming. I was so impressed with their potatoes!! Omg this meal smacked so good! I got the breakfast sandwich.. don't remember the name but it was delicious! The atmosphere was chill and friendly. I like that the people who were there were actually talking. One thing I realized was that they don't have TVs which is so awesome because it encourages the visitors to interact. I appreciate that. Definitely come and try their potatoes!! I'm obsessed! I'll be back soon! read more

This craft cocktail bar is one of a kind. We stumbled in here after an open mic night to have 'one more'! We stayed for 2 more because they were that good! Everything we had was awesome and we'd order it again!! :: Ashes in Fall - is a smoky flavorful cocktail. They light the the cedar plank on far then cover the smoke with the glass as they make the cocktail. It's smoky on the nose but flavorful on the sip. :: Hell Hound - boozy!!! One sip and I was not a fan. It was bitter but sweet just not my fav. :: Cusco - I love me som Creme de Violette and rose- this drink did not disappoint! When I come back this will be my first drink. :: A Rainy Day in Kyoto - this was my personal favorite. It had the math flavors that were here but not over powering. It was smooth, balanced and simply delicious! :: Vulgar Display of Sour - this was an awesome drink with surprising flavors. Even if you are not a cilantro fan - try this! The flavors mixed are balanced and create new flavors as you sip! read more

I heard of Armoury DE from a friend and she suggested I not miss a stop here as we were looking to just hang out and have a few drinks with my cousins. We came by after visiting a local restaurant and we were so happy to come in. We showed up early and were able to grab chairs at the bar actually which was great. We were helped by Megan at the bar and she suggested I get the Ash of heaven drink which was amazing. The atmosphere here was great. Lots of energy and music playing. The staff in general were helpful as they would check on us and made sure we were not missing a drink. Prices were fair to what I pay back home. It was also easy to get in with no long lines when we arrived. I would highly recommend this place for sure. read more
