Betts on 1

A warm, character-filled space with exposed steel beams, white stucco and brick walls, and direct access to sidewalk seating. Betts on 1 works well for smaller team happy hours where the goal is connection over cocktails in a relaxed, unpretentious setting.

"Great place to customize your wedding!"

SKY was an amazing choice for what we needed in our wedding day. They provided us with options for vendors and were able to offer many ideas as to how we can create an atmosphere tailored to us. Lisa is simply amazing! Experience and personable. Answered so many questions for me and ensured my husband and I got what we wanted for our day.

- Carissa Sullivan

"INCREDIBLE reception we had for our wedding!!!"

We loved working with Lisa and the team! Everything went perfect and the lead-up with all of our zoom calls were great! Lisa kept us on track and kept me excited since we had to reschedule our wedding. The food was SO good and the specialty drinks were a hit! The extra decor we chose just looked perfect and we couldn't have picked a better venue!

"I have nothing but praise to sing with SKY Armory."

My team and I just hosted our DJ conference (called DJs ASSEMBLE) in mid-October 25 and Nicole, Lisa, and the rest of the group were extremely accommodating and offers a great space for our needs. Simply put if you are having an elegant wedding (which I happen to be a wedding DJ) to a full on conference space, SKY is an absolute gem of a space in Downtown Syracuse.

"Great event venue with imaginative chef staff, good pairings, and an inviting bar selection."

Great event venue with imaginative chef staff, good pairings, and an inviting bar selection. The house cocktails are a good balance of familiar and inventive. The service staff is prompt and courteous. The decor is a fun melding of modern and antique, with nods to styles of 70 and 100 years ago.
