The Archer Bar & Bistro is a family-friendly bar and bistro at Shop 1, 570 Whangaparaoa Road in Stanmore Bay, on the Whangaparāoa Peninsula. It has outdoor seating, a kids' area with a sandpit and games, flexible spaces for birthdays, family gatherings and work events, and a quiz night on Thursdays. Live sports are shown, and there is a pool table and dartboard. The menu includes sourdough pizza bread, charred flatbread with whipped feta and hot honey, and lamb koftas, and the bar serves local beers. Customers praise the food, the service, the kids' play area and the function rooms, and one reviewer said the lamb koftas were excellent. Others say the venue is worth the trip from Auckland.
