  1. While quiz night has moved to Tuesday, not much else has changed, and Armstrong's is still my favorite bar in the city.
  2. The drinks and the crowd were great.
  3. The two nasty girl bartenders would stop mid drink and dance (even though they couldn't) while the bar was lined up with people needing drinks.
  4. My friends and I love this bar!
  5. this bar was completely ridiculous and a complete waste of time.

  8. Great bar food, laid back bar.
  9. This is not to mention the food and the beer prices being not expensive.
  10. it is a very big bar/ restaurant with 2 projection screens and many smaller tv's.
  11. They also have this awful loudspeaker where they make announcements in the bar as if all the people were cattle.
  12. The beer is cold and refreshing, the nachos are hot and heaping, and for some lighter fare, try the Iceberg Wedge.
  13. Best sports bar I have been to in the gramercy/union square area.
  14. the bar is horrible.
  15. Good beer specials, lots of beers on tap.

  17. it is a bar and grill, he only wanted to come in and eat and he was denied so he left while i endured the horrible service inside.

BEST TRIVIA NIGHT IN NYC

by Tomross626

I go to MJ Armstrongs at least a couple times a week, for the great brunch specials and dinner, but I never miss Tuesday night! Because that's when they hold their weekly Quiz night. I've been to other trivia nights at other bars in New York, but none compare to this one. Quizmaster Chris is probably one of the smartest guys in the city and he puts on a great show.

So I suggest if you want to have a great time and be a little smarter for it, go to MJ Armstrong's Quiz Night, every Tuesday at 7:30PM!

  • Pros: good fun, good people, Great quizmaster!

My friends and I love this bar!

by Caitlin85

I’ve been there a few times for a happy hour. It is so much fun, drinks are affotrable and the food is very good! Great bar food, laid back bar. I think MJ Armstrong’s is the equivalent of my neighborhood bar at home. I love the sliders and chicken nachos. I have also won the one of the happy hours and I had a great time! Free drinks for me, can’t complain about that. All my friends also got drink specials. We ended playing beer pong in their downstairs room. They also have tons of plasma TV’s, downstairs and upstairs so we were able to watch the basketball game. My friends and I will definitely go back!
