This bright, dynamic, and captivating space invites diners to kick back, collaborate, engage or recharge in comfort, all while indulging in hand-crafted beverages and deliciously innovative street food.

Coffee, Cocktails, Craft Beer & More

Archer Bar & Eatery is part bar, part coffee house with street food style dining thrown in for good measure. 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. A fan favourite would be the legendary Jack Black Weiss on tap. This unfiltered Weiss is surprisingly approachable and undeniably delicious. On top of that, the bar also boasts a curated list of excellent single malts, bourbons, and brandies.

The Archer Bar & Eatery Menu

From cosy lounging and intimate table seating inside; high chairs at the bar and the popular wide-open space on the wraparound terrace, this is a dining experience all Joburg food fanatics should experience. Diners are treated to stunning bites such as classic South African beef droëwors, yellow fat beef biltong, and pickled baby cucumbers.

On top of that, the menu sports street food entries: crispy fried chicken wings, butter chicken bunny chow, and delicious steamed pork buns and many more.

There is a strong street food theme that runs throughout the menu, making it the perfect spot to meet up with friends and embrace the weekend. 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. Archer Bar & Eatery truly is one of those "eat a little, drink a little, talk a lot" kind of hangouts and comes highly recommended.
