The service and quality of the akb bar in the Archer was one of the best parts of my staying experience. I came every morning for breakfast. The staff was so lovely and the food was delicious. Would definitely come again and recommend the Archer as a place to stay.

I visited AKB during my recent stay at the hotel, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by how inviting the space felt — beautifully designed with modern touches, warm lighting, and an atmosphere that’s both elegant and relaxed. It’s the kind of bar that immediately makes you want to stay awhile.
The seating was thoughtfully arranged — a mix of plush lounge chairs, cozy booths, and a sleek bar setup that made it easy to strike up a conversation with the bartenders or other guests. The music was perfectly curated — upbeat enough to give the place energy but never too loud to drown out conversation.
Now, let’s talk about the drinks — incredible. You can tell the bartenders here are passionate about what they do. I ordered one of their craft cocktails (the AKB Old Fashioned) and it was expertly balanced — smooth, rich, and beautifully presented. Over the course of the evening, I tried two more cocktails recommended by the bartender, both creative takes on classics, and each one was outstanding. They clearly use top-shelf spirits and fresh ingredients.
Service was top-notch from start to finish. The staff were attentive without hovering — always checking in at the right time, making great recommendations, and genuinely seeming to enjoy their work. It felt like the kind of hospitality you’d expect at a five-star property: polished yet personal.
I also sampled a few small plates from the food menu, and every dish was a winner. The presentation was lovely, the portions were just right for sharing, and everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The truffle fries were especially good — crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned.
What I appreciated most about AKB is the overall experience. Whether you’re traveling for business, staying at the hotel for a getaway, or just looking for a great local spot to unwind, this bar fits the bill. You could easily come here for a quiet solo drink, a casual date, or an evening out with colleagues. The vibe transitions seamlessly from relaxed daytime lounge to a lively evening social scene.
I ended up coming back the next night just to enjoy the atmosphere again, and it was just as wonderful the second time. The consistency in service and quality really impressed me.
All in all, AKB isn’t just a hotel bar — it’s a destination in itself. Elegant without being pretentious, with genuinely friendly staff and some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long time. I’ll definitely make a point to return next time I’m in the area.

Happy hour had $3 off most appetizers, and discounts on DeLille wine and Woodinville Whiskey drinks.
This bar is five stars but with a seriously slow kitchen! The peach pizza and the lemon aioli with truffle fries are incredible. The server was personable and was pretty fast with the drinks. It is a lovely outdoor space, and even on a warm day I was grateful to be sitting next to a beautiful fireplace.
In contrast, the peach pizza took about 40 minutes and two gentle reminders. I know, because I sent photos to my husband when I arrived and then checked the timestamp when the pizza did not arrive. No water refill so I chose to get my own water from the hotel spigot. I had lovely company and it all worked out. The bar gave me the pizza for free since it was so incredibly late. I heard they were down two staff.
Five stars, with a slow kitchen.

Wife and I had breakfast since we stayed at the hotel. It was a mistake. The waitress was nice enough but scatterbrained. The food was super basic, unseasoned, and not worth half the price. Breakfast sandwich didn't have cheesy baked eggs, just some scrambled egg wash without cheese, and no baby spinach, just half expired salad mix. Fresh fruit was all mush. Coffee was so bitter and burnt that you'd think this was a roadside diner. Take a 5 minute walk to the pancake house nearby instead. Fail, Archer Hotel.

I like the look and style of the dining space. The service started out extremely slow. To the point we were not sure we existed. It got better.
We ordered the omelette with chicken sausage, bacon, and Swiss 3/5 (chicken sausage very good just overcooked). It came with potatoes 3/5. Avocado toast with over easy eggs 3/5. The coffee 4.5/5.

I love a good girls night out and this is just the place.(Perhaps I should not be sharing this).The warm ambiance with the fire place and chairs/couches are a very inviting.It does not have a loud club "vibe", yet you are still feeling the GNO energy.Amy, our bartender/waitress, has been amazing on multiple occasions.Attentive, kind, engaging, always anticipating our next need. She's a true gem! This place is lucky to have her.Att in customer service! Truly, not sure I've had a better bartender/server!The food is wonderful! I dream of the ahi bites!If Amy and the Ahi are there, GNO will continue!
