The Armory - Sonora, California

Jessica S.

First time at The Armory. We went with a party of 7 on Saturday afternoon. Found parking easily in the parking lot adjacent. We walked in and seated ourselves downstairs instantly.
Menus are by the register. You will also walk up and make your orders. Food will be delivered to table.
Absolutely great vibe with many options. There's downstairs outdoor seating with the bar and picnic style tables, upstairs with more traditional 2 and 4-top tables, and an indoor bar (in the barrel).
We got a couple drinks, nachos, and pretzel. It was a perfect afternoon visit. I could see coming back and making an evening of it.

This place is not only a TON OF FUN with a great atmosphere both inside and out, they have a great selection of beers on tap including hard to finds ones like Pliny the Elder AND a whiskey shelf that would satisfy even the most refined imbibers in their Bourbon Barrel room. Seriously, I had no idea this place existed and just happened across it as we passed through town but now, my wife and I will always make it a point to stop here anytime we make our way up and down HWY 49. I should note, this place was crowded even for lunch and for the most part, it was filled with a more youthful customer base but there were still people of all ages here. Also, for those of you with 4 footed friends, I was happy to see that dogs were allowed in the outside patio area which of course, is way cool to hang out in with it's lovely beer tap water fountain. The bar is very large with plenty of seating and the bartenders are super nice but there are high tops and benches you can chill at as well with a group of friends and even lounge chairs and sofas along the back wall. Of course, if you prefer to be served, there are tables available up on the mezzanine that waiters attend to and there are tables inside as well but really, on a nice summer day, outside is where you want to be. On our visit, I had the chimmichuri shrimp tacos and my wife had the short rib ones with a salad and everything tasted delicious! Need I say, I would highly recommend this place to anyone who lives in or are passing through Sonora 👍

Great spot for a casual meal. Very family and dog friendly. Outdoor seating has heaters that were greatly appreciated on the cold day. Great service and selection of food and beverages. Will be back!

EAT HERE! everything was so good! Great beer selection too! Atmosphere was perfect and service top notch! I always forget to take pre-eating pics so forgive the partially devoured food! The wings with pineapple sweet chili were beyond delicious and I'm not a wing person. Rodeo burger, salad and big as your head pretzel were super tasty!

Absolutely amazing. The atmosphere, the waitress, the food, the drinks. Everything was so good. Our waitress, Cassidy, was so sweet and made our experience even better! I highly recommend checking this place out! The chicken sandwich, the western burger, the pork belly nachos and the shoestring fries were incredible!!!

Visited this place on a Saturday evening. It was a mess trying to find a host/waiter. Ends up that you can come in and find any available table and sit. There really are no signs visible enough to guide patrons through this process. What made it feel worse is that the staff would walk right past us and ignore us. Once I stopped someone, I was informed of their sitting arrangements. Once seated, the service was good. I ordered their burger, but sadly, it was very bland, tasted like a bun with cheese. So I was not satisfied. On a good note, the rest of my group loved their fish tacos, so that's the bright spot of this visit. I will probably explore other options next time I am in town.

The bartenders are gems here. They are friendly and knowledgeful (I know it’s not a word but it really describes them perfectly) and really make you feel welcome. The selection of beers is awesome! We had great drinks here.

I highly recommend the short ribs and mash and the wings were meaty too! Love the indigeny blackberry if you’re looking for a fruity beer.

The restaurant is set up amazingly. Loved the outdoor seating arrangements. Food was tasty (a little overpriced- $19 for a burger) but everyone there was friendly and helpful a d always available for refills or requests.
