The Archer Library - North Adelaide

A beautiful pub with good food, good service, attentive staff, lovely atmosphere would definitely recommend it and look forward to going there again.

Not sure why there are so many low ratings I suppose it is because the pub has changed hands a couple of times over the years and it can be a bit inconsistent, but my (many! experiences have been mostly positive. I live in the area so it is our 'local ', and sometimes you have to wait a long time and sometimes you don 't, sometimes the food is only average and sometimes it is amazing, sometimes the bar staff are sparse and sometimes plentiful, but I have found the staff to be at least 90% pleasant and helpful. Sometimes you will get a noob, but it is fair that sometimes you give a new young person a job so they can learn and get better! I have given it 5 stars to try and even out the unfair low ratings it seems to have accrued. Last time I was there (a couple of weeks ago it was great, and the staff were knowledgeable and helpful, and the serving time was instant! Also, people should be aware that though the renovations were done a while ago, it is still quite a gorgeous pub to spend time in. Plus POOL TABLE! For me a pool table is always a winner. (P.S. The only real downside? Archer Hotel, if you read this, PLEASE use a stronger disinfectant down the floor drain in the ladies loos to make up for that weird ancient plumbing smell ... blerk!

I had dinner at The Archer last night it was AMAZING!!! It totally exceeded all my expectations! I had the vegetarian gnocchi it simply melted in my mouth! Loved it! And the customer service was outstanding! Nothing was too much trouble! I will most DEFINITELY be back!

Usually come here for a lunch with friends. I find that the menu can be a bit hit and miss for my tastes. However the service is usually fine though sometimes it can take a bit of time for food to come out. <br/ This time we ordered the salmon on couscous and the rump steak. <br/ Salmon was great, cooked really nicely with accompanying couscous, cherry tomatoes and prosciutto. I probably could've done with the salad-like dressing that was put all over the dish but it was fine with it. <br/ The steak was ordered medium but came out mostly rare to medium-rare which was unfortunate as they normally do cook it better than that. <br/ <br/ The indoor seating area can seem a bit dark but is nice for dates. The outdoor seating area is partly under cover but on a lovely day is really nice.

Have been here twice now for New Year's Eve dinner, last night an early dunner before the Strikers game. Firstly it was great to find a place open for all day dining close to Adelaide Oval before the game. The American burger joint closed at 4pm as it was New Year's Eve which I found odd.Once again as our previous experience the food was with out fault sll 5 of us had great meals and drinks. The $15 burger and pint is a great deal and the burger tastes so good, moist, succulent with a great flavour and the chips OMG! the best on Adelaide. The crispy garlic beef tacos were delicious with the hum of the harissa aoli, the only thing missing was the coriander as apparently they had ran out. Which was disappointing, can't they just send someone yo the local supermarket to buy some? Staff were friendly and loved the comfy booth. Prices eere good with some specials and daily deals. Will certainly be back and would highly recommend to others.
