The Archer Hotel — Restaurant in Adelaide

The Archer is still going strong after many years in O'Connell Street, North Adelaide. I had booked on line with The Fork. We chose to park at the back of The Archer in their car park. It is not expensive but be aware, you do need to purchase and display your ticket. Otherwise street parking is available but in short supply. When we arrived we were shown to a booth which we all found a bit squeezy. In the middle of our table was a QR Code which I scanned and the menu, drinks list and prices were then available to read and we then placed all our orders using this appon our phones. Payment is also made, if you wish, using the same method. It was very easy and efficient. Gone is the menu with the usual pub food. My mango chicken with steamed greens was perfectly cooked and plenty to eat. The drinks list offers some good choices, all of which can be ordered from your table, again using your phone. Orders can be placed at the counter if you prefer to do this. We did find it fairly noisy but we expected this from The Archer, a great venue which has managed to keep its head above water through Covid. It is worth booking a table and enjoying good food and drink and a great atmosphere. Another great Adelaide venue, in North Adelaide, to put on your...

The Archer is a nice pub with rustic-looking interior, that is quite well maintained. The staff are extremely friendly and the food came out nice and quick.

Unfortunately, when it actually came to eating the food, I was disappointed. I ordered a beef burger, and while the ingredients SOUNDED good in theory, they were executed terribly. The bacon was like boot leather and was impossible to eat. The patty had a weird crunchy outer shell to it. It didn't taste bad, but it ruined the texture of what should be a nice soft beef patty. Not to mention it was about twice as thick as it should have been, making it even harder to eat.

The cheese, pickles and salad were all good despite these issues.

We also ordered some squid as a side, which was rather bland.

I would say it's a good place for a few drinks with buddies or a bowl of chips, but don't come here for an...

I had my 21st at The Archer on the weekend and wow I couldn't have asked for a better place to have it! Katie and Jordan were both so incredibly helpful throughout the whole process of organising the night and on the night. Jordan always answered any questions I had leading up to the night and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. Katie was soooo helpful with helping my family and I set everything up on the night and made sure I always had a drink in my hand ;). She also kept checking up on me throughout the night to make sure I was having the best time (which I was). The bar staff on the night were also so amazing and friendly and let us all be as wild as we were! Food was also delish!! I couldn't recommend this venue enough - definitely a very very great venue to have a function in...
