AKB, a hotel bar — Restaurant in Austin

Great place to meet friends or a date, or even relax solo like the woman at a table next to us, and not feel rushed. Free parking across the short street at the Nordstrom lot, or valet, then just enjoy a great happy hour with special dishes from the Happy Hour menu or $3 off the shrarables and pizza menu.

We split many appetizers. For me the highlight was the brisket sliders and the truffle fries. Very flavorful and scratch made fries with just enough perfect seasoning. The cauliflower was so light and rich in layers of flavor. Fabulous. Quite unexpected. Great Asian fried chicken. Brussel sprouts were the standard roasted brussel sprouts.

Overall, the prices at AKB are quite reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the service. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a tasty meal in a...

AKB bar at Archer Hotel was a great location to host our SafeHorns meet and greet happy hour (AKB calls it Sunset Hour)! Not many restaurants or bars have happy hours on Saturdays but AKB does! Plus they let me reserve some bar tables. It’s a beautiful lobby and restaurant. AKB has lots of drink specials and good assortment of appetizers. We tried the pepperoni pizza, brussel sprouts (with pork belly) and guacamole & chips, all of which were tasty. I’m glad they have gluten free & vegetarian options on the happy hour menu. Free parking in the Nordstrom garage which is just a five minute walk away or valet parking at Archer (I think valet is...
