Food was good, serving size large. Tata Tot’s were average. Lamb Shoulder was good. Wife loved the pie of the day. All round ok. Would come back.
Came here for a birthday party. The renovated space is looking great. Love the pool table and the space is big with comfy tables. The drinks are very well priced. We had many dishes come out for the party but standout was the pizza and bread with dips. The portions were huge and great quality ingredients. The service was so attentive, as usual. Great venue overall.
This place always hits the mark any day of the week, great staff, great beer choices and great food. No different this Sunday for lunch, we tried the crispy skin Barra with Asian veg. Well cooked Barra and tasty mix of veg. For entree the beef skewers with a great satay sauce, really hit the mark.
A more upscale approach to pub food, the meal was really enjoyable. Perfectly cooked short ribs and good size of chips. Shared fry plate was nice, but a little pricey for $32. Wide range of beers on tap (it is a beer bar though) The atmosphere was okay but not the same as it used to be ( more edgy and unusual before) plus there was trivia on that was really loud so at times it was hard to speak to anyone. I would recommend it to group in there 20s or for a Christmas party etc.
You might be forgiven for walking by on a busy night as this place is generally fully and had a loud vibe. Monday's are different. Tonight the bistro had an $18 chicken parma, salad, chips, and pot with your choice of one of about ten sauces. Fresh crispy parma, steak cut fries, and a generous mixed green salad with lots of dressing.
Friendly staff and atmosphere. Definitely worth returning
Based purely on the beer selection, this place is beer heaven. A real chill vibe with lots of couches, pool tables and a walk in freezer to find the perfect six pack to take home or drink there. Minus a star because the bald guy who I'm under the impression is the bar manager is always extremely rude and unhelpful. Don't bother asking for a recommendation and expect to go searching for the beer you're after as his comment is always something like - we have 500 beers, I can't help you etc. It almost seems like he doesn't even like beer.. or his job for that matter. However, the younger guy is super helpful and gives great recommendations and will help you find that special beer on the menu that you're after.
Known for its beer and wings it didn't disappoint. The wings are a must have, mid-spicy buffalo was put pick. The beer list was extensive which my friend found overwhelming
Excellent crafts beers and food, good style pub with relaxing atmosphere, live music and tasty pizza's and wings. Bar staff sometimes are not very helpful when asking questions about beers, they seemed annoyed the last 2 times I was there, I just asked which ones were the dark ales on tap and the bloke made a big song and dance about it,he said " I don't know, we have so many different beers", I said " just grab me a stubby of lord Neilson dark ale, mate" besides that it's a good place, enjoy :)
Cool place with plenty of room. Staff were all super friendly and helpful. Meals were good with the steaks cooked perfectly. Good selection of beers available.
Comfy coaches, plenty of beer - check, check! Came back for the food and it's proximity to The Escape Hunt Experience.
Great Saturday? Book in for a 1hr puzzle session, and spend the afternoon with wings & beer at Archive lamenting the clues you missed and the keys you couldn't find.
Long been one of the best pubs in West End with it's great interior & atmosphere, wide variety of drinks and arguably Brisbane's best pub food, with the burgers and parmy the highlights.
Archive never disappoints! Really lives up to its 'best boutique beer bar' title with beers of all flavours. Always a chill vibe with a cool interior and lights made from book pages, table tennis going and great live music. 2 for 1 Wednesday night meals are wicked too. Literally the only downside is that if you're there with a group sometimes it's hard to get a seat, but that just speaks for how good this place is
2-4-1 on a Wednesday are always a win at Archive... Everything you get is pretty darn good so definitely go back more than once to try different things... Be warned it does get busy so get in early! What would expect though from such an awesome deal.
a place we end up going to often. really good atmosphere. the bartender was a bit unhelpful one time with me. there was a miscommunication with an order and he did not even try to make it better for me.
Had the shrimp tacos and my goodness they were yummy. Good food, beer & live music.
Ignore the Hipster Haters. There's a deal pretty much everyday - burger & beer Mondays, pizza Tuesdays, 2-4-1 meals Wednesdays, dawg Thursdays, schnitzel Sundays. So for the complainers out there huffin & puffin about the price, you're doing it wrong. You gotta get the deals!
And for the complainers about the beer, even if beers like Little Creatures have 'sold out' their boutique heritage, they still taste goood. Sure, there are plenty of more "authentic" boutique beers out there but for a good value feed & a nice hopsy beer you can't go wrong.
Love. Still my favourite place to for a feed of chicken wings and a great beer!
Great for a cheap lunch. Food: Went here a lot for a cheap lunch on a Friday with work friends, Steak Chips and Salad for $15, is pretty good. Usually consistent, fast and always good. Once I was let down with a tough gristle steak. But I stress it was only once.
Drinks: So many beers on tap you will find one you like!
Atmosphere: Great atmosphere can be busy at lunch and after work, however our meals we were never forgotten.
Great atmosphere and love 2 for 1 Wednesday.
Food is better than your average pub meal and big servings.
Thumb up.
Fantastic. I love going to this place - it's my default meeting place when catching up with friends in West End

Beer, Burger, Bingo Mondays! :). We visited Archive a couple of times on our visit to sunny Brisbane, the first was on a Saturday night whilst we waited for a table at a nearby restaurant. The place was packed, we were lucky to score a quieter table at the entrance of the establishment. Service was great and the selections of beers, well the guys were in beery heaven. Great place for a drink on a Saturday night if you don't mind a crowd and yelling your conversations at your friends. Our second visit was a much quieter evening on Monday night. People were playing bingo and there were $10 burgers on offer. We ordered our burgers from the kitchen and the staff were friendly and pleasant. The burgers were great, can't complain for $10 and the serving of chips was very generous. Good spot for a quiet beer, burger and bingo on a Monday if you've nothing better to do! The one bar staff on the other hand was quite arrogant, and happier to be having a conversation with his mates then serving paying patrons. But you can't win them all!
Good place to hang out and have a drink, hardly a place to find nice food. Unimpressive but it has nice atmosphere.
Get a beer for the kids. Great beer but if you're over 30 be prepared to have a nan or pop moment - this is a real student hang. Loads better than most of the bars around though - no angsty vibe and a range of beers you just won't get anywhere else.

Great Beer Here!. Where else can you get a Little Creatures Pale, a Stone & Wood Draught, or a White Rabbit Dark from a tap at any time? That and their other taps out front seem to usually be brews I like to drink. And to me the whole point of going out for a beer is to have it draught.
Add to it the Next Door Cellar (on Wed-Sun) and their six taps of intense brews from locals & around the world, plus the bottle-shop selection, then what is there not to like? Oh yes... add to it the half-gallon 'growlers' of tap beer you can take home Thursday nights, and another win is ticked for this place. Food-wise, it's been hit or miss. the chips are great, as is the cheese plate, but the mains seem to be off or on. Had a great steak, and had a not-so-great one. Funny thing was they were served to me at the same time when I ordered them on 241 Wednesday ( I was quite hungry after work). Some inconsistancy from day-to-day can be expected from anyplace, but to have it on the same serve... could have been the meat cut I guess.
Outside the 2fer deal, and the pub grazing plates, the food is not what to come for. You come for the Holgate Roadtrip IPA or the Obama Black IPA, the various Mekkeller or Rogue brews, or the Bridge Roads, Vintage Cooper's or the White Rabbits whilst relaxing on a comfy chair and talking with friends.
Parking reasonable close has never been a problem, and if yu wish to indulge in a few more brews, then the 199 bus will drop you off either at the door if coming from the city, or across the street if coming from parts west. Either way, I recommend a visit!
Absolute gem. Anyone supporting the craft beer industry in this country is a winner in my books. But to then actually be so damn cool puts you a step above the rest. I went on the cheap burger night, and was surprised at the bang-for-your-buck that we managed to achieve with the meals. Loved the fact that, despite being so busy, the bar service was still really fast. The Wii is a great idea, I love the wallpapering, love the deconstructed book-chandeliers.
Best Beer (selection) in Brisbane. Fact.. Archive is exactly what you're looking for. The decor is very cool, though I believe they're missing one of their dictionary volumes. The staff, though overwhelmed at times with the amount of patrons, handle it very well. The beer selection is just awesome, and if you're looking for a good cocktail, the bartenders are very knowledgeable. Trivia on Tuesday nights is a lot of fun, but get in early so you can secure the lounges.
Great for after dinner drinks. Great drinks, good service, good atmosphere. Fantastic live music on a Friday night. Wouldn't go there for food; there is much better food in West End for the money.
BEER and only BEER!. The only reason i venture to this bar is for the beer! The staff are unbelievably rude, i dont know if they are aware, but we can see them behind the bar... and when someone asks you a question or gives you their order.... dont roll your eyes...(i shouldnt pin point them all though, a couple of the girls are nice.) the food is ordinary but i guess you get what you pay for and the $10 snitzel was just that... a $10 snitzel.
live music could have been turned down a little though, to avoid me screaming so my friends could hear me.
Meh. I looooove the beers here and will come often for some ales and the really nice chips that Archive do but the majority of the menu i find to be quite overpriced. But stay for the beers...
Pleasant Change. This place is very convieniant. Good range of Beers with good food to match.. Plenty of tables and great live music. Located underneath Uber makes it very handy for the younger ground to have a meal then upstairs for a party!
Makes for a good day/night out all in the one building!
Beers, beers and more beers.. The selection of beer here is amazing - even the tap selection is great, and cheap. The meals are good, too - get in on a Wednesday for 2-4-1 deals and eat up some delicious and cheap pork belly!
Good atmosphere, good range of beers and good food as far as pub grub is concerned. The signature plate is nice, but has a lot more potential than what is plated - tonight, at least.
Great Beer, pitty about the food. Went in today for Sunday lunch, firstly the beer range is fantastic, great to go somewhere in Brisbane with quality beer. Great furniture, layout and feel to the place. Big let down on the food, don't get me wrong the food was o.k. but for the price I would have expected alot better. Great place to head for a few beers and a plate of chips, not the place to go if you want a decent meal, what a shame, this place has the potential to be one of Brisbane's best beer venue's, but people that drink quality craft beer like good quality food too.

Nice Atmosphere, Great Beers, Service only okay. We went here with some friends for the first time as we had heard a lot about the place. Overall impressions were pretty good. They have an amazing selection of beers and a small but quality wine selection. The food was really nice as well. My recommendation would be to order a selection from the grazing menu, tapas style, and share. We had both a meal and then as we were there for so long some snacks later on and found the snacks were the best option. Atmosphere is funky if a trifle over done although that is West End for you. The only downside to the time was the waitress who bought our meals. When she bought out the first (of two) schnitzel ordered I asked which sauce it had as my friend and I had order differently only to be told "whatever sauce was ordered with the beef burger". Aside from being a completely unprofessional response, we had actually ordered 2 x beef burgers and 2 x schnitzels so her response also made her look like a complete dumb ass. Aside from that incident the day was great and we did generally enjoy the place.
First Relaxtion Session In A While. Well, let me just say, I havent rested in a while, but when I have, for some reason ive always ended up at the Archive Beer Boutique and Bistro having a nibble and trying the great variety of beers on offer.
It fills me with smiles and joy and is SIMPLY funky!!
After ive worked myself into total relaxation, I find i have to finish it off with a positively endearing greek meal a little further down on the corner of Browning and Boundary...but anyways, like I said, these guys at Archive just deliver exactly what I need.....
Nice and Simple. I went there for dinner with a friend mid week and overall I had a good time. The decor is great, I love the couches and there's a nice atmosphere.
The food was good and reasonably priced. The service was efficient. Plus lots of great beers that aren't overpriced.
It is more of a pub so don't expect fine dining. The food is good and honest and that's what you're after at a place like Archive.
Fantastic beers at reasonable prices. Best bar atmosphere in Brisbane I believe. Food can be a bit hit and miss but go for the 2 for 1 Wednesdays and u will be sweet
Awesome beer. Great beer selection and awesome atmosphere! recommend for something a bit different
Good atmosphere and service. Excellent selection of beers at good prices. Lots of midweek deals to keep you coming every night.
The only place to go for great vibes, superlative Aussie beer, fantasic food, wonderful service and comfy comfy chairs. So easy to wild away hours in that never never land
They have gluten free beer!! Awesome atmosphere
Great vibe on a Sunday night, the food was pretty average. But I don't think you come here for that. I will come back and try something different maybe it was my choice.
Best beer in brisbane. Archive only sells micro brewed australian beers. If you love beer then come here. There are fridges with over 100 different beers and all varieties. Although you wont find much under $20 for lunch the steak burger is really good for $16. The Chef is good. The bar staff are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about beer.
Bring on the Steaks and beer!. Wow loved it! Was there last night for their Tuesday trivia night - food: i had the steak and i love my steak rare. Its hard to get a great rare steak that isnt actually bleeding. It was perfect, actually better than perfect. My friend had the pasta which she also loved. Great work Chef's
As for the rest - Trivia had a great atmosphere, there were groups huddling and yelling which was great, if your bored on a tuesday night and want a great meal, with a fun game, this is the place to be!!
This is our where to eat and drink guide to Brisbane; incomplete and personally biased for the sort of food we like and what we consider to be ‘value for money’. We have decided to divide our restaurant preferences into occasions rather than areas. We find that generally, where you go depends as much on the reason as the suburb. You have favourite places for family dinner, for Sunday afternoon drinks and Wednesday morning breakfasts and you are happy to travel to get to them. If you want a complete guide for where to eat in Brisbane by price or suburb, visit Urbanspoon . You can read our Urbanspoon reviews as well. We hope you enjoy our recommendations as much as we do. Good anytime Foxy Bean, Wooloongabba – can’t say a bad thing about this place seeing as it was Birgit’s wedding venue, but it is good for any meal of the day. Kettle and Tin, Paddington – popular from brunch through to Tuesday trivia and birthday parties, it’s hard to go wrong at Kettle and Tin. Hoo Ha Bar, South Brisba
This isn't the first time we've been to the Archive Beer Boutique , but it's the first time we've gone there with a plan for lunch. For those that haven't heard of the Archive Beer Boutique, well it's as great as it sounds. A fairly large size pub found halfway down Boundary St in West End. What are they known for? Beer of course. With 14 (constantly rotating) on tap and over 400 in bottles it's where you go if you like beer. Bridge Road Bling IPA (with the food menu) They also however, do a pretty tasty lunch. And on Sunday they rock out with $10 schnitzels and live music. We didn't stay long enough for the live music (getting there at 12:15pm and leaving by 1:30pm) but the meal was amazing. $10 is pretty cheap for a schnitzel of this quality. It was fairly sizable and came with a generous serving of chips. chicken schnitzel w beer battered fries, house salad, sauce The sauce was a really tasty gravy with hints of pepper. The chicken had a delicious crumbing on it and was cooked to p
Overall, Archive serves quality pub food and next time we shall return night to check out the atmosphere and sample their "Bistro styled" dishes.
Archive is now definitely the place to go for good beer in Brisbane. The fridges behind the bar are full of a dazzling variety of Australian craft beers
Archives main claim to fame is their awesome craft beer menu. They have a few on tap as well as offering a huge list of bottled beers. They also have gluten free beer for those intolerant ones amongst us.
I'd be interested to try the other menu items at Archive too. It reminds me a bit of the restaurant concept by Chris from Masterchef Australia Season 1... mixing beer with food. Many of the dishes at Archive feature beer components.
The venue is surprisingly large – who knew that Uber housed such a large space downstairs? The balcony area houses around 3 large tables, a few small ones, bench space as well as the kitchen or bistro. The inside is bigger and contained two billiard table
If you love beer, then Archive is the place for the Brisbanites. They have one of the widest selections of beer from across the country. Their 2 page beer menu is the testament to their collection and it can be a little overwhelming for a featherweight dr
My favorite spot! Been going here since Nov ‘17 and it is a must visit spot when bringing friends over, either locally or from overseas (before pandemic and hopefully, soon).
The ambience and the always pleasant staff members and of course, the beers, is what made me a regular patron. Made lots of memories as well as met new friends here, along the way.
Archive will always be my place to go and recommendation.
Nice little place on the main bustling strip of West End. Downstairs is the traditional pub scene with energetic live music. Upstairs used to be a Cocktail Bar, but now turned into a function centre. If you get a chance, check out upstairs. A very posh and stylish bar experience. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff all around. Definitely worth a visit.
love this place. 3 stouts on tap, best chicken wings and pizzas.
The place is really chill and lots of areas for your own space. Live music on weekends is great. Pools tables and sports on tvs. Great little venue. Security are really friendly and welcoming. Place is clean and drinks are great prices. Will be back again. Great for any locals or tourists visiting the area wanting some where to chill out.
Live music was really good.
I went with two friends. We ordered 3 pitchers of beer. My friend paid for two and when I go to pay the waiter tells me that the payment for the two has not been made and that I should pay for the 3. Today we have verified that my friend did pay for them.
Two days after, I've gone to the Bar and they refund me my money.
This is a great pub with a magnificent range of craft brews on tap, plus comfortable lounges to enjoy them. And if you're keen, there are board games, table tennis, pool tables and pin ball machines. There is in door and outdoor seating. There is also plenty of food available. This place is highly recommended 👍😁
Pub grub at it's finest. Schitty was cooked to nice and crispy texture, and there's a decent selection of alcohol as well.
Nice cozy little place to snuggle up and sample a few of the local beers!
