The Archibald

Everything about this place is great—the pizza tastes amazing and is clearly made fresh with quality ingredients. The ambience is really nice, and the upstairs area is especially chill. It’s quiet and comfortable, making it a great spot to hang out, play board games with friends, have a drink, and actually enjoy a conversation without loud music. The lighting upstairs is very cool and gives the space a relaxed, cozy vibe. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they care about their customers and the atmosphere they’ve created. It feels like a genuine local spot rather than a typical chain restaurant. The only small downside is that prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality, atmosphere, and overall experience make it worth it.

Archibald’s has a really cool rooftop bar with a great atmosphere—perfect for hanging out with friends. The cocktails were fun and creative, and while we didn’t eat, the pizzas coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. When we asked the bartender to put on a game, he was super friendly and happy to help, which made the experience even better. For those who care about restroom cleanliness—it was very clean when we visited early in the evening (hopefully it stays that way as the night goes on). My only small complaint is that there were very few paper towels and only an air dryer. Overall, a great spot for drinks, good vibes, and a welcoming staff!

Drinks were phenomenal, food was amazing, and vibes were lively and energetic. 10/10 experience on the rooftop bar. We went on a Tuesday at 11 pm and the rooftop was still quite busy. I can only imagine what the weekends are like! For pizza, we got the Angry Popper and the Presley Pesto and I couldn't pick a favorite. Both were perfectly balanced in flavor and cooked just right. For drinks, we got a berry mule and some coconut whiskey drink, both were great. Top shelf alcohol used, yet prices were reasonable on the cocktails. Would love to come back & looking forward to the leftovers in my fridge! (:

Great spot for some drinks! Excellent service and atmosphere for getting some drinks. Only reason for the 3 stars for food is that this place only offers Pizza, so if you are trying to find a place with a large selection of food, the I wouldn’t come here. But, if you want some good drinks, good music and excellent service, then give this place a shot! Of note: - Not a big deal, but I always like to recognize when establishments offer military discount. This place did not. - they do have a touchtunes jukebox, but it was locked, so you couldn’t play your own music. Although the music selection that was playing sounded good.

Very cool spot! Great cocktail menu. The espresso martini was very good. Upscale feel but still down to earth. Inside is nice and rooftop is top notch. Excellent furniture for seating and music variety was awesome. I didn’t try the pizza but many people I was with said it was great. The service from the bartenders was amazing inside and upstairs. Can’t wait to return! Definitely worth checking out!

Who doesn’t love a roof top. Our bartender was top notch, so friendly, makes fast food drinks, great service. Downstairs was so cold and I’m sure pops off at night. Rooftop was all tropical and loungers. Great cocktail menu. The pizza looked AMAZING. We ate right before coming here but I wish we waited to try some of the pizzas. They looked like they would be delicious and everyone was raving about them

Came here only for the pizza. The Son of a Baker pizza relocated to a different bar. The Archibald still serves pizza and has an updated menu I got the 3 meat pizza, and it was great. The crust was the best part

Son of a Baker Pizza, located inside The Archibald in Fort Worth, offers a unique pizza experience in one of the city’s cocktail lounges. The moody lighting and upscale vibe of the lounge create a refined, intimate atmosphere, while the rooftop bar takes things to another level with its immaculate ambiance and open-air views - perfect for enjoying a slice and a drink. Of the pizzas I tried, the Cheesy Sleazy featured a bold, slightly bitter-acid tomato sauce balanced by a solid cheese blend and a well-executed crust. But the standout was the Mama’s Drunken Margherita-truly phenomenal. The crust was light and airy, with a perfectly chewy bite, and the creamy vodka sauce was rich, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Fresh basil leaves added the perfect aromatic finish. Whether you're lounging indoors or soaking up the rooftop vibes, Son of a Baker delivers creative, well-made pizzas in one of Fort Worth’s coolest settings.

Was dead when I looked in and suddenly my back was to a group of 8. So they're doing something right... Decent pours. Good selection of the brown. Bangin music. Good looking staff. I mean really really ridiculously good looking people! (Needed to emphasize the Abercrombie and Fitch level attractiveness.) Got my double well whiskey and good vibez on my leisurely stroll back to my pillow.

The restaurant itself downstairs was very aesthetic and pretty, the seating looked nice but just a lot of high tops to sit at. The drinks were not great. I ordered Marilyn's bath water or something like that and it had too much glitter in it to where it just consumed my last few sips. Also ordered a pitcher of Moscow and it just was not worth the price. Not good but not awful. Pizza was AMAZING. just pricy. The prices were not listed in the menu from what I remember. Staff was not that nice either. The rooftop bar was open, but I had to walk back down to order anything, nobody checks on you up there, the music is so loud you can't talk, and the bartender we had was just slow to get orders and not very kind despite my groups patience.

Absolutely stunning pizza, one of the best i've ever had. We got creamy margarita made with vodka sauce and WOW. Thin crispy crust, amazing balanced flavor, creamy, delicious amazing 10/10 no notes. It also came with this garlicy ranch that you'll want to lick the containers clean, an amazing side sauce that went perfect with the pizza. $21 for a pie is typically a little much but they 100% backed up the price point with this perfect execution.

Stopped by The Archibald on Saturday to meet up with a girlfriend. We headed upstairs to the rooftop first since it was a nice night out. FYI, there's no server so you have to order everything at the bar. Seating is first come, first served, so grab a spot when you can! Drinks were on the pricier side, but the New Fashion was really nice. The rooftop filled up quickly, so we went downstairs later for a change of scenery. The vibe downstairs was totally different compared to upstairs. The ambiance is classy, sexy, and intimate. Definitely a good place for a late night date. It was pretty crowded too. We ended the night with the Presley Pesto pizza--absolutely delicious! Overall, great drinks, great food, and great bartenders! Food: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 4/5

Nice bar, service was great. Originally from Chicago so a bit of a pizza snob. Pizza was excellent. Thin crust, brick oven cooked. Very flavorful. I also got a side of ranch which I typically don't do, but it made for a nice dipping sauce for the crust.

Best Pizza I've had since I've moved to DFW!!! We kinda remixed the pepperoni pizza by adding hot honey and it was a prob the best decision ever made. Chicken pesto was ordered as is & tbh it needed no help. I cannot wait to go back. This bar may see me at min 2x a month. Soooo good!

THE PIZZA. THE PIZZA. THE PIZZA! They are taking you to the good land here. The good land of... - crispy, chewy crust - flavor bursting toppings - gooey cheese (but not too much) - delicious red, white or vodka sauce We especially appreciated how they had classics like: CHEESY SLEEZY (Cheese) TRISTARONI (Pepperoni) MENAGÉ A TROIS (Meatlovers) SAVE A PIG (Veggie) Then, they also have off-the-wall options like: THE ANGRY PIG (spicy bacon & sausage with a sriracha-honey drizzle) ETHAN'S FREDO (aka chicken alfredo on a pizza) PRESLEY PESTO (pesto chicken with sundried tomato) And... I'm not finding the names of them online but on the menu in the bar they had what was described as a Birria Pizza, Jalapeno Popper Pizza and Vodka Cheese Pizza! We tried four pizzas... all were pie-fection but our favs... MENAGÉ A TROIS and ETHAN'S FREDO! Can't wait to ride through this land again and again! Maybe, next time I'll be able to get a drink if I'm not pregnant and can comment on those. ;D BTW: It is a bar... so idk if kids are allowed. They have a chill vibe, kind servers and a rooftop area when it's good weather. We went on a very rainy and chilly night so again... can't comment on that... yet. ;D

Super cool spot. Drinks and pizza were great, bartenders were nice. We were there on a weeknight so it was a little quiet, but the rooftop seating was a great vibe.

I hate that it's taken me so long to visit The Archibald! My friends and I ended a Friday night out in downtown Fort Worth here, and we all agreed we definitely need to go back. The vibe was casual and cozy, the music was good, and there were definitely some interesting people watching. We were in serious need for some food, and we were thankful to know the kitchen stayed open until 2AM. We had one of the best pizzas ever that night. When you visit, definitely try the Angry Pig! I can't wait to sit out in their balcony now that we have warmer weather.

Delicious late night pizza. Service was great and bar was a fun vibe! Booth inside were very cute and outdoor/ rooftop area looked very nice also!

Visited this spot for the first time tonight. Loved it. The vibe is awesome and the bartenders are even better. They're extremely attentive and kind. I really appreciated the fast service despite this place being busy. Food is excellent as well. Will definitely be back!

This is a review for Son of a Baker Pizzeria inside the Archibald. Next to Thompsons. It's a ghost kitchen I guess it's called. We got a pepperoni pizza to go. Its perfect. Not too greasy. Probably my favorite and best pizza I've had in Fort Worth.

Awesome bar/eatery. I was visiting from Vegas and decided to grab a pizza and watch some MLB playoffs. Music was good, ambiance was right, service was great. My pizza came out quickly and it was delicious! Would definitely come back. No complaints or recommendations.

Really loving the Archibald and so glad I live close by. Their pizza is so tasty it's hard to resist getting one every week. I'm not usually a ranch gal but their homemade ranch is something else and so good you can't turn it down. Their drinks are great and the service is friendly. Amy is fun, friendly, and quick! Also a great place to go in by myself to listen to good music and relax.

Looking for something casual after a Saturday spent at the Arts Festival, we sought out THE ARCHIBALD because of its reviews and location adjacent to a regularly frequented "Bookstore" that always delivers. We were excited about the experience and two downtown professionals in our party thought it might be a good new spot to frequent. We immediately gravitated to the rooftop patio that was beginning to crowd up, but we were able to grab a vacated street side 8 top! After waiting 5-10 minutes for a server, I went to the crowded bar and was surprised to find ONE (1) busy bartender and inquired: "Are you the only person working?" Curt response: "Yes, and you really shouldn't ask that question, I got this!" I returned to our table with this information, and everyone was equally surprised there wasn't waiter/waitress service. Digging the vibe and ambiance another couple volunteered to go back with me to place our orders. When we got there it was quite obvious THE bartender had issue with me. Given I've been frequenting establishments longer than this individual has been alive, I apologized and explained I needed to know that information so we weren't sitting there any longer like dummies and I could get some help without relinquishing our spot. We simply wanted to have some cocktails and eat (i.e. spend some money). I wasn't questioning her capability - chill! That didn't seem to help so we decided to let my friends continue the partial order there, and I'd try the downstairs bar. After waiting a few minutes there for what I later discovered was a manager based on discussions with my cohorts afterwards wherein they had a poor interaction) I was told I could place an order at the other end. Same great service as upstairs! Notwithstanding, The drinks and food were good, not spectacular - pizza being the only option. It's ordered through the bartenders, you're notified via beeper, and it's picked up by YOU. So in my instance I had to go back downstairs to get the pizza! Overall, the service was the worst I've ever experienced. Rude, dismissive, and ambivalent doesn't even cover it. I might anticipate some of this at a college bar (I've done SEC, ACC, B10, MAC, Bowls), but not a place trying to come off as a niche, trendy escape in downtown Fort Worth. Consequently, our party was one and done, 0 out of 5; would not recommend! We won't be back and will continue our downtown rooftop quest elsewhere. Our management suggestion; coming off a large event (e.g. FTW Arts Festival) you need to have more than TWO bartenders working the entire establishment. It's EMBARRASSING and a beckons a serious need to reevaluate your team! Seek out another rooftop location or visit the neighbors - always great service there!

I came here to try the pizza and is excellent. The bar is cool, the bartenders and nice, but the pizza is awesome. They also have a roof top patio. I'll definitely be back!

Pizza on the patio is truly a vibe. Service is good; the young lady at the bar is always friendly with good banter and fast even in a crowded bar and the gentleman that makes and brings up the pizza is super friendly and fun to talk to even in his haste. I don't spend a lot of time indoors on the ground floor mostly because it's cold bc TX summers demand ac, but also the patio is my preferred space. There are oversized umbrellas, seating of various heights, and bar top seating as well. Very cool idea, but I come for the pizza everything else is a plus!

Great cocktails, great bartenders, great ownership. Love the multiple levels and different vibes.

Good pizza, average customer service. Would go again just for the pie. We had the meat pie and the white pie.

Let's start off with the mid afternoon cocktail. Old Fashion was better than average, good. The pizza was awesome, we had the veggie " save the pig" !! It truly had great crust. The place has a great vibe and the one thing to remember, you have to order all things at the bar.. Visit and try the pizza and cocktails and wine. Beer is in the can and looks to have a small selection. All in all great experience!!!!

Pretty over price for the Expresso martinis if you ask me.... For a server to ask if I wanted my change was a little out of the NORM.. let me be the customer and tip you what I want ... the rooftop view is great however I do think the trees block most of the rooftop view. There was only one server that catered both upstairs and downstairs. Maybe more workers onsite could help with this.

Nice little dark bar atmosphere with a great staff and food. Didn't know what to expect on a holiday (Labor Day) evening since the place was almost empty. I was very much surprised with the wonderful pizzas. I had the Ménage A Trois and it was outstanding. The bartender (Candace) was excellent with outstanding energy and desire to take care of the place as if it was her own. Proud of her attitude, especially since she was picking up a shift on a holiday. Overall, great food and experience that will bring me back when in the area.

Great rooftop ambiance! Lots of tvs to watch games. Great bartenders so you can wet your whistle. The pizza is really good too! Highly recommend for a date night or just a place to hang.

Really cool spot drinks are priced well and service was really good. This place has a great rooftop that has a New York City vibe to it. I would definitely recommend this spot for a date night.

Awesome bar and Pizza. Absolutely great service and drinks. The Espresso martini was fantastic. The roof top bar is a must also

Great place to hand out with your friends. Very cool atmosphere and the DJ was great. Next time I'm trying out the pizza.

OK, so I also rate pizzas all over the country and Jordan and Alex at Archibald's have some of the most amazing pizza I've ever had. I give it a 8.9 recommended by Jamie the bartender who is amazing at this bar please come give us a shout out give it a check out and have some food.

Great pizza! Crispy crust and fun flavor combos! Had a great cocktail with berries and bourbon!

Sign out front should have said "Figure it out yourself Day", rather than rooftop bar open! 6 adults seeking fun place to spend money on drinks and pizza... 3 different staff members were very rude to not only myself, but 2 other people trying to get waited on for cocktails and food orders. 2 other men had the same issues with bartender upstairs. We proceeded upstairs to grab a table, downstairs pretty empty, only a few people were up there including no one behind the bar. Waited about 15 minutes, dark haired female bartender shows up behind the bar, no waitress in sight. Saw second female carrying drink menus on the patio upstairs, asked her if we could order, she said "no, but you can go down and order if you need something". Went downstairs and asked to order 6 cocktails and 2 pizza's, bartender stated I would need to go back up and go the bar, or come back down to pay and get a beeper. The staff obviously has no desire to make money, create a fun atmosphere, or make it a pleasant experience. Pretty sure the owners of this place would have been mortified seeing how they acted.

If you want a place with the best cocktails and pizza this is the place to go! On top of that they have the best service! I am a regular because of the service here, especially Anthony! He always makes the best drink and makes sure we always have a great time and we come back because of him. Love this place and atmosphere!!

Had the best experience at The Archibald! The ambiance is always a vibe and Anthony provided us with the best service! Love this place and will be returning for him!

One of the most delicious pizzas I have had! I had the jalapeño popper pizza and cannot wait to revisit to try more. Great rooftop atmosphere to hang out with friends and enjoy watching some games.

Decent pizza but lame rooftop bar. Between a building a loud parking garage. Wouldn't even consider it a rooftop bar.

Good pizza and great ranch. They did burn the first one though so watch it if you are taking it to go.

Great vibe! Jamie, Jayla, Candice, and Helen are top notch bartenders, and the atmosphere is always chill and welcoming. I recommend the expresso martini here. Quite possibly the best downtown. They have pizza too!

Good atmosphere. I will come back for the pizza! Son of a Baker pizza is AMAZING! The staff were friendly and service was quick. I will be going back.

Really nice vibe. Pizza is AMAZING! My favorite is the Dos Amigos. Will hit them up whenever I'm in town for sure.

Enjoyed the best Old Fashioned here and the pizza was exceptionally good and arrived quickly. Wait staff was on point and loved the rooftop area.
