The Archer restaurant is in downtown Buffalo, located through the glass doors at 268 Main Street, in the heart of the Queen City's historic preservation and business district.  The Archer boasts Shea's Performing Arts Center and theatre district, First Niagara Center, baseball stadium, and the new HARBORCENTER hockey complex at Canalside waterfront on Lake Erie, as it's very nearby neighbors (less than two blocks away!).  

 

The Archer is surrounded by numerous downtown Buffalo hotels, arena concerts, Buffalo Sabres and Bandits games, Canalside waterfront events, and the Coca-Cola Baseball Field (Buffalo Bisons)-- all within a quick, short walking distance. 

 

The Archer is conveniently located on the free above ground Metro Train Rail line on Main Street, midway between the Theatre District and Canalside.  The Seneca Station stop is directly in front of The Archer.

 

The Archer's beautiful historic interior features impressive columns, a grand center island bar with rich wood panels, unique tile work, and a banquet area on the mezzanine level with a glass encased wine room housing an exclusive selection of pours and a romantic table for two overlooking the restaurant's lower level and bar.  Patio dining borders Main Street, creating a unique outdoor downtown dining experience during the summer months-- with a view of the Bisons Ballpark.

 

Chef owned and operated, The Archer offers warm smart upscale casual dining amidst simple, classic elegance-- without pretension.  The menu offers New American Cuisine with steak, seafood, WILD GAME, pub fare, and more, all prepared to order.  Chef Features with recommended wine pours are available nightly.  The Archer proudly uses the finest ingredients, offering our guests natural, fresh meats and vegetables, sourced locally and beyond. 

 

In addition to more traditional fare, our WILD GAME menu items and nightly Chef Features include Elk Steaks, Wild Boar Tenderloin, Venison Steaks, Wild Game Sausages, Quail, Antelope Steaks, and much more.

 

Located in the midst of what is now being referred to as downtown Buffalo's Cobblestone Bar District, we have a full bar with eight drafts (several of which are local crafts), premium liquors, and cocktails.  

 

The Archer's pub is the perfect spot for pre-game drinks and pub favorites, with televisions to view the games.  Game night specials are hosted during downtown Buffalo home games (with the exception of certain holidays and concert/event nights).

 

Chef Josh Archer is certified in Gluten Free cooking and understands the sensitive diet of guests with Celiacs, therefore, gluten free menu selections abound. Ask your server for gluten free pasta and buns (please note, items are cooked in the same kitchen).  We have a separate gluten free fryer, to better accomodate our gluten free guests.

 

The Archer restaurant is the perfect setting in downtown Buffalo for a romantic date night, celebrations, anniversaries, or the long overdue "just because" dinner party with friends.  The Archer will help you wine and dine your very important business client and out of town visitors; providing an exceptional Buffalo downtown restaurant experience for you and your guests to enjoy.
