I've been back to Archival several times since they opened and have always had good experiences. The building is airy and open, and they have a covered outdoor deck as well as a dog-friendly beer garden. The views of the park and disc golf course are pretty, and we even saw a lively fox running around outside during our last visit.
The menu is unique and features different food than you usually find at other breweries. As of March 2024 some of the interesting menu items include a soft shell crab sandwich, quesa birria quesadilla, gochujang chicken and waffles, and butter chicken.
On our most recent visit, I just went with the bacon cheddar burger, but it was really tasty and well made. I appreciate the options for sides - all sandwiches come with their delicious fries or you can sub broccoli salad, steamed broccoli, a cup of soup, Brussels sprouts salad, Caesar salad, or truffle potatoes! I went with the steamed broccoli and it was a large portion, nicely crisp-tender, and seasoned well. Nate got the quesa birria quesadilla which was so good, with lots of tender meat and melty cheese. We've never had any issues with service.
I am not much of a beer drinker these days, but Nate has enjoyed the beers he's tried at Archival. They focus on historic style microbrews, which is really unique in the sea of many breweries in the area. They have weekly food features, weekend brunch, a lunch combo deal during the week, and live music, bingo, and game night. A fun spot!
