Get Ready for the New Cocktail Menu at Brooklyn’s Grand Army
Since Grand Army first opened their doors in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, in 2015, the acclaimed corner bar has curated a devoted fanbase who highly anticipate the latest reveal of their deep-dive, seasonal themed cocktail menus built around a sometimes quirky, and usually unexpected, concept.
And beyond the drinks, the menu itself is transformed into a zine-like work of art along with a line of limited-edition, theme-branded merch. Look around the bar and you will likely uncover deep-cut collateral and Easter eggs decorating the room, and the sole unisex bathroom becomes a must-visit, immersive art installation/VIP room.
Here’s a look back at the full lineup of themes that have been featured since the beginning.
