Archer Hotel

Swanky hotel bar with good cocktails and overpriced, subpar food. As we live in the area, I went here a few times and was underwhelmed by their breakfast and over-priced happy hour (only $2 off on apps/starters). Decent restaurant if you're staying at the hotel, but would skip it otherwise. Note the hotel is not open for lunch - only breakfast until 10am and then for happy hour and dinner after 4pm. They have special deals on food on certain days along with happy hour. The staff was nice on the 4 occasions that I came.The cocktails - Apple Orchardrita tequila based cocktail, Blackberry Mint Mule, and Guava Blanca cocktails were on point! They were refreshing and not too sweet with fresh ingredients. The Mule was made of blackberry puree and the Apple Orchardrita was made from apple-infused tequila. Guava Blanca cocktail was refreshing with guava and passionfruit with a nice foamy top. I preferred the Guava Blanca cocktail over Nelson's Lady cocktail, which was a bit more bland and subtle. The Wild Mushroom Flatbread pizza was crispy, thin, and flavorful with different types of mushrooms, spinach, cheeses, and glad I added the onions! I preferred it over the White Primavera Pizza with chunky slices of eggplant and peppers. The crunchy thick-cut Kettle chips were delicious (a bit pricey at $13)! I wasn't a fan of the French Onion or the cheese, spicy Pimento dip - both dips were heavy on the Mayo. The Spinach Artichoke Dip was very bland with a smoky flavor and tasted like there was meat in it. The tortilla chips (looked to be housemade?), were also very bland and undercooked around the edges. The dish was a disappointment all around. The Avocado Toast looked deceivingly appetizing. The avocado was a bit over ripe and overall the toast with diced tomato and egg was bland and fell a bit flat.The Yukon Breakfast Potatoes were thick dense potato wedges and not the cubed home fries I had anticipated.Hubby wasn't a fan of the lackluster Ham and Cheese Omelet, it tasted like deli meat instead of ham off the bone.The hand-cut thick crispy fries are super thick (2x as thick as steak fries) and topped with parmesan cheese and rosemary.I would come back again for the 1/2 flatbread on Sundays and try more cocktails along with some kettle chips!

The bar here has a cool, modern vibe but the drinks weren't great. I had the purple reign and tropical sunset cocktails. The drinks looked cool but tasted watered down with too much ice. However, the bartender was friendly and helpful.

Food was fantastic! Everything was made quickly and cooked to perfection. Cocktails were so yummy! I highly recommend the chips and dip! Onion dip was to die for. It was served cold. Kettle chips were nice and crunchy. Shrimp appetizer was so good and was not spicy. The house made sauce paired well. The wait staff were so kind, attentive, and helpful! They provided great recommendations. Made cocktails in a timely manner and was consistent.The ambiance was good. They were a little crowded around 5-7pm. Everyone was polite and noise levels didn't get too loud. Cozy dining areas that can accommodate large parties. Bar was large and can fit many people. Bar has electrical outlets so you can charge your electronics. This is a great place to grab cocktails and apps!

My stay at the Archer was absolutely amazing! The staff is very friendly and one of the perks for your stay is the $25 food and drink credit! The bar is beautiful and gives a very cosmopolitan vibe. The manager took my order which I took back to my room. The house smoked wings were delicious but I forgot to ask for ranch dressing. The street tacos were delicious and very filling. The amount of shrimp was worth the money! They were jumbo shrimp and the grilled avocado was the win for me!

I don't usually leave reviews but I had to for this hotel! I can not say enough good things about Archer Hotel! From the very beginning of me booking my stay on the wrong days through booking.com and me calling the hotel and speaking to an angel by the name of Arleen and her fixing it on her own without me asking so I didn't lose money on the stay I never would have taken! Bless you! Then from the time I pulled in front of the hotel ( not even checked in yet!) to the time I checked out I felt so taken care of by every staff personnel I came across. They even did something a little special for us since they knew we were staying for our anniversary! Which was super sweet.The gentlemen at valet especially Mr. Abdenour were beyond kind and on point. Never having to wait long for my car and they were super accommodating and sweet. The room was beautiful and clean with a comfy bed and huge window. From the restaurant to the bar was also superb and had great drinks and food with amazing service! I've never stayed at a hotel that was this amazing!! I didn't want to leave and can not wait to return!

Amazing bar in Tyson's new boutique, urban-chic Archer Hotel Tysons. Raised a glass (or two) and celebrated spring with Yelp Elites. Felt the love and kindness in the air. Amazing food, cocktails and atmosphere. A great place to hangout

My favorite bar ever bartenders are pros , not some college kid making your drink . I Have tried the wild mushroom pizza . It was pretty decent . Ambience is very new and trendy

The service is efficient but now brutally robotic. Someone comes by with an iPad, takes your drink order and comes back about 10 minutes later and slaps the drink on your table. For the tasteless food, cost, and really apathetic service I would not recommend. It's a shame because it has a lot of potential being right next to the Tyson's metro.

Restaurant located inside swanky hotel. Service slow. Food is average. Good for drinks and socialize but don't get your hope up on the food here.

I hate giving 2 stars but I was hoping this would be a go to spot in the Tyson's McLean area but it is certainly not. I have adequately tried both the bar and restaurant three different times. My most recent visit reconfirmed that both the prices and their high perception of themselves is way too inflated. In summary the food is bland, overpriced and lacks imagination for the price. Imagine Applebees but three times the price.Recently, I ordered the tacos and a draft beer. The tacos were bland and the beer selection lacked any excitement. I later ordered an old fashion cocktail and this was again a disappointment. Meanwhile the service was a bit mechanical and they didn't seem enthusiastic about what they were serving. My friend noticed she was being stared at by two of the servers making her feel very uncomfortable. I'm not sure what this was about but it lacked professionalism.I have tried both the restaurant and bar three times expecting much more each time because I want support the businesses in the area but sadly disappointed in the high prices, weird behavior in service and rather bland food. Very much deserving of only 2 stars.
