Great Vibes, Great Parties
The Tasting Room: Urban Lounge Event Space for Intimate Gatherings
The Tasting Room is unlike any other space at SKY Armory. Where the upstairs ballrooms give you scale and grandeur, The Tasting Room gives you something different: an intimate, lounge-style setting with hardwood floors, stucco walls, alfresco lighting, and a restaurant-style bar that makes your event feel like a private venue within a venue.
Large street-level windows bring the energy of downtown Syracuse inside, creating a bright and social atmosphere that works naturally for your corporate happy hour, dinner party, shower, rehearsal dinner, or brunch.
