With top baristas and mixologists conjuring up drinks behind the counter, Archer Bar & Eatery is the perfect hangout for lunchtime meetings and sundowners with friends and has the drinks menu to fit the occasion.
For craft beer enthusiasts, Archer Bar & Eatery offers a string of local small-batch suds bottled and on tap. Patrons can choose from CBC, Devils Peak and more.

Perfect for sharing, the menu brags with sharing plates such as Charcuterie filled with cold cut meat, local cheeses, in-house-made pickles and preserved figs.
