The intimate space is welcoming and relaxing. The staff are incredibly talented mixologists at the top of their game. The reason for our visit is their month-long Star Wars pop-up that started 5/4/26 (of course). They nailed it in every sense of the imagination from themed drinks (alcohol and n/a) to the interior and exterior decor. Hoot & Annie is currently The Mos Eisley Cantina. And, it is! It's as though we've been transformed from this town that's about 20 minutes from Austin to the actual Mos Eisley Cantina. My boyfriend is a huge Star Wars nerd and absolutely loves it. I'm a fan and a supporter and dig it. It's literally the next best thing to Galaxy's Edge. No joke. We love it here and we'll be back even during non-Star Wars times!

I wish the temp was a bit more favorable that day as they did have outdoor seating. The bar area was also nicely set up. The person who took care of us gave great recommendations, I went with the cajun pasta and it did not disappoint. Def a good portion size and we also had the brussel sprouts to go with. Tried the espresso martini which had a bit of a different flavor, decent, but not my favorite. My friend got the chicken parm and it was huge! She said it was also tasty. Parking was easy enough as again, it was a holiday monday so not many peeps out. Needless to say, you don't leave hungry and I'd totally go back to try other things on the menu.

Rodney is incredibly talented - he's an amazing singer, and his music creates such a fun atmosphere. You can tell he has a following, too, because people genuinely come out specifically to hear him perform. We did have a bit of a service hiccup during our visit - we were brought the wrong bottle of wine and ended up waiting quite a while for the correct one. Thankfully, the live music kept us entertained while we waited! Live music like this adds something special that you just can't get from a playlist. I really hope Urban recognizes the value that talented musicians like Rodney bring to the restaurant and continues offering live music. Great food, a fun atmosphere, and great music make for a winning combination!

Unfortunately for us, the bats didn't want to come out on the particular night that we were there, but it was still a wonderful visit here at P6! The service was amazing and food was coming out pretty quickly too despite the number of dishes we ordered for our group of 11. It's more of a casual setup with couches and lower tables so that was a little bit tricky to eat a full on fork and knife meal, but the views made up for it. They do have some barstool seating for smaller parties as well. The menu is mainly tapas/family style here so it was perfect for our big group. I really liked everything that we tried but the highlights were definitely the lamb ribs (I don't even like lamb very much), the zaatar bread, charred cabbage, and the seared branzino with beurre blanc. They had a few mocktail options, so I picked the Miami Nice, which was a refreshing strawberry flavor profile. They have valet parking and validation at the host stand which made it very convenient for us! Everything was so picturesque here. Definitely an amazing spot to have a sunset dinner with a view here in Austin!

This is gonna be located on the fifth floor in the JW Marriott. You have to walk through the pool area as this is on the west side of the building. Well, we didn't have a reservation and we were able to get sat right away. I forget the name of the individual who assisted us by placing our order. I ended up getting the espresso martini, and then my other person got an old-fashioned. I was asked if I wanted a shot of Bailey's with the espresso martini and that to me would've been way too much. The martini itself was almost kind of smoky. Not your typical kind of very crisp espresso martini had a nice foam on top of it. We also ended up ordering the sliders to go along as we had dinner reservations, and that bacon jam on there is magnificent. The sliders were all juicy and very well put together bun was very soft and the flavor of everything was really good. I would totally go back just for the sliders. Overall the service was great. The views were also quite stunning of downtown and the ambience overall which is very chill. The front part of the bar was actually closed due to a private event so I can imagine getting to take photos on that corner would be really pretty to see.

The couches were so comfortable and the ambiance was so pretty. In terms of the drinks and food, it was okay! Got the job done, but nothing to rave about. I enjoyed the sliders the most. I enjoyed my drink as well (5th Floor Cooldown) once we added the extra sweetener we requested. Without it, I wasn't a huge fan (wasn't sweet, despite being told that it was). Valet parking is only $15 (for 2 hours) with validation. I appreciated that, as it made parking not a headache.

Let me start by saying that I was so impressed with my dinner that I had to ask a server if it was a Michelin star rated restaurant. I highly recommend the half chicken infused with basil, which was a beautiful flavor. The broccolini was my favorite, with the grilled lemony parmesan topping it was a showstopper. Even the french fries, which I was not supposed to eat, were tasty with their own house dip.. I did have a slight bit of food envy though- my friend ordered the filet, which she said was one of the best she's ever had. I'll let you know after I return tonight.!

I arrived earlier in the day and was skeptical about getting my room since check in is usually around 3pm but to my surprise I was able to get an early check in. The room itself was pretty standard. It did come with some complimentary sweets, water, slippers and robe. Another interesting benefit - they have a shuttle service for 3 mile radius around the hotel. The benefits don't end here. They also have a $25 credit if you eat/drink at their bar/restaurant. Isn't that cool? They have a pretty cool swimming pool too. I was happy to find sunscreen available at the pool! I used my hotel credit to get an avocado toast and it was wonderful! Overall, I had a great stay and I would highly recommend staying at the Archer! You won't regret it!

The rooms are always spotless, beautifully designed, and full of thoughtful touches that make a difference, like plush robes, slippers, complimentary caramels, Fuji water, etc. This visit, I was pleasantly surprised with a complimentary room upgrade, and the spacious room with a huge terrace made the stay even more special. I almost always order room service, and it's consistently fresh and delicious. This time I had the wedge salad with shrimp and glasses of wine, and everything was perfect. The following evening, a coworker and I enjoyed drinks and shared a slice of cheesecake at the bar downstairs, and it was another great experience. The biggest reason I keep coming back, though, is the staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely thoughtful. They consistently go above and beyond to make every stay comfortable. I highly recommend Archer Hotel to anyone staying in the Domain area, whether for business or leisure.

We made a reservation for inside, and upon arrival, the staff mentioned that'd we'd have to wait quite some time for our table. Instead, they suggested an outside table wouldn't be too bad. We were happy to accommodate, but then the service was noticeably slow (both for drinks and for food). Price points were high (but, I suppose not unexpected for a hotel restaurant). The spot we were in just felt like limbo between guests enjoying the pool and people inside enjoying A/C and good music. May give it another shot down the road.
