Solid little cocktail bar uptown with a decent selection of speciality cocktails. I ordered a beer as well which wasn’t cold, but it was very late. The service was good, cocktails made to order and in front of you. I will definitely come back and show some friends - great for brunch or a date night.

At 8 in the am on a weekday, it was quiet and unassuming from the outside, perhaps due to the scaffolding. Once inside however, still quiet but beautiful! You can tell that later on, this place will be packed and knowing this its nice to enjoy a space during its quiet time. The barista was very nice. Even though she was busy making other drinks, she greeted me and let me know she’d be with me soon. I was in no hurry so I sat down to enjoy the lovely atmosphere. I appreciated that she kept looking to make sure I hadn’t left. She was cool! The coffee was great and I took a walk to the nearby park to sit, enjoy and ponder. I was very tired having not slept the night before and the coffee gave me the energy to get through a busy morning after my ponderings. Thanks UG

Stopped pass for Brunch on a Sunday. Tried the shrimp & grits and the Garrison platter. The pancakes were a hit. Their coffe and tea menu along with the mimosas options were good too.

Great place with a solid cocktail selection. I’d def recommend pepperoni & peppers and mushroom pizzas, garrison burger, calzoniti, and cookie skillet.

We came here for Restaurant Week, and we chose this location because we wanted to check out something a lil closer to Harlem where we hadn't really had the chance to explore the neighborhood. Also they included a nice variety of cocktails with dinner, an appetizer, a main ,and a dessert. It doesn't get any better than that, all for $45 per person. I was sceptical at first but we thought that we would give it a try. The establishment itself is very cute, I loved the black facade, and the intimate setting with the industrial lamps, leather seats, wooden beams, and the exposed brick. The hostess was prompt and friendly. We looked over the menu and chose the Old Fashioned and Golden Rush for drinks. We had the Calzonito (2 per serving, I had the sausage... Which was hard to actually see the actual sausage... I guess it was flavored in the cheese) and the Buttermilk Fried Chicken for apps (which is a large portion, great for sharing). For our mains we had the Pan Seared Sea Bass with roasted cauliflower and sauteed kale (it was well seasoned and the kale was cooked very well). For dessert we opted for the Warm Apple Crumble with oats, brown sugar and mezcal (it was warm, but would have been great with something a little creamy like evaporated milk or ice cream, we felt it just needed something to soften the dryness. We also chose the Bread pudding with sour cherries and buttermilk caramel. The portions were huge so get there hungry. We had to get a few doggy-bags but you will definitely get a bang for your buck. Very cute spot, I loved their regular cocktail selections, I will definitely come back again!
