5 stars all the way, from the exotic food (duck poutine and pheasant sliders) to the friendly bartenders and the chill vibe that makes you feel like you’re in a log cabin in Vermont. All the more festive during the holidays with a fireplace, tree, and specialty cocktails. I had the “Jingle All the Way”, which was a spicy bourbon.

Come for to drink, eat somewhere else.
For those looking to make their liver work, the Monsieur Edouard is spicy and smokey, while the Craig St. Michael blends scotch with rum for a drink that’s guaranteed to knock you on your behind. Or keep the last vestiges of summer alive with the tropical-themed Iguana Assembly, full of rum, tea punch and coconut lime.
If you’re sober or the night’s DD, you’ll enjoy the tart and fruity Blackberry Jab with lemon, pineapple, pomegranate, and of course, blackberry.
However, save your stomach space for elsewhere. We were intrigued by the unique-sounding dishes (no mozzie sticks here, y’all) and excited to try them. But words on paper didn’t translate to tastes on tongue–most things felt off or fell flat.
– Duck Poutine: As someone born and raised in the Great White North, my arteries basically pump poutine (or are clogged by them, I’m not sure which anymore). So I was looking forward to this duck confit twist on my national dish. Unfortunately, what I got was an over-peppered cauldron of soggy fries with a few nubs of cheese curds in an oddly seasoned gravy. It might be the only time in my life I’ve pushed away a plate of poutine. No bueno.
– Brussels Sprouts Caesar: This was fine, though I failed to taste any miso in the dressing. Generous portions size.
– Spicy Elk Meatballs: Spicy tomato sauce, yes. But the elk again tasted over-peppered. And I’m all for trying new meats, but I’m not sure elk translates well as a meatball–too tough and chewy for my liking, even when drowning in aforementioned sauce. The accompanying swiss chard and goat cheese polenta weren’t bad–wish there’d been more of those.
Service was decent the first time we visited, but not so great the second time. It’s also worth noting that the inside is DARK dark and the menu is via QR code, so prepare to blind everyone with your phone throughout the night unless you were bitten by a radioactive spider with night vision.

We were supposed to go to another pizza place but couldn’t get in, and we found this spot while walking by. I wasn’t expecting much, but it was really good and fresh. The place is tiny, so it’s better for takeout than dining in.

If you want to escape the Grove St. crowds and find a dark lodge, this is your spot. Diverse and unique menu options, kind bartenders, and a wonderful dark dimly lit vibe. Duck poutine.. delish.

Always enjoy our time at The Archer! We usually come here for their expertly crafted cocktails and low key environment. The vibe is very hipster, but I like it. Love that they have bluegrass on certain days as well (check their Instagram)! The sakura sour is my favorite cocktail.

The Archer has a great atmosphere that’s matched with mixologists that understand the people want. They have a great selection of spirits and if they don’t have an ingredient for your drink they can still find a way to make it where it tastes as you ordered. The food menu follows the theme which makes it uniques but cozy.

Out of all the craft cocktail and high end restaurants I have been to 15/10 this place is phenomenal. Cocktails are made with balance and are unique. The food is amazing. The duck was incredible. One of my favorite places now.

Kate was absolutely phenomenal. She took the time to thoughtfully explain each wine, breaking down the flavor profiles and what makes each one unique in a way that was both informative and engaging. You can tell she truly knows her craft and enjoys sharing it. Highly recommend requesting Kate if you have the chance!

I really liked this place. As Chileans we usually eat a lot of seafood and finding an octopus well done in terms of texture, flavor and easy to cut is simply wonderful! we will be back! The drinks are very well prepared.

i really enjoyed the vibe here! it’s a bit dark outside so it’s easy to miss, but inside has a nice, dimly lit atmosphere. they have a wide selection of alcohol and a very interesting menu.
i recommend the pheasant sliders. i’ve never had pheasant, but the sliders had a lot of layered flavors because of the various ingredients. the fries were nice and crispy as well. the mac and cheese was a little runny for my taste but still good.
the QR code menu was a little annoying though, and this place is a bit pricey, but i do recommend it if you want a more lowkey vibe with unique menu options
