Archive Bistro
100 Boundary Street
West End

West End’s new watering hole Archive Beer Bistro finds ready favour with local drinkers.

After just a few months in operation, Archive Bistro has been warmly welcomed by the locals of West End.

Described by Manager Leigh Metzeling as “just like being in your own lounge room,” Archive’s homely decor and warm, friendly atmosphere have proved very popular. All that’s missing is the fireplace!

Then, of course, there’s the beer.

Archive features one of Australia’s biggest selections of craft beer, with more than 80 beers on offer including James Squire Pilsener, Kosciuszko Pale Ale, New Norcia Abbey Ale and Mad Brewers Noir Stout will be on tap late August.

The vast array of beer on offer ensures there was a brew for everyone, even those yet to be converted to beer drinking.

“A book club for beer drinkers”

For those who want to further expand their knowledge of Australian beer, Archive also regularly conducts Beer Appreciation Events, where a different variety of beer is featured, and brewers are on hand to discuss the finer points of the their art.

“Food to match the beer”

Head Chef Tim Fowler said the menu was in keeping with the strong Australian theme, by again showcasing local products.

“Our menu features high quality, locally sourced, seasonal produce that reflects everything West End has to offer. A European-style bistro menu and a large grazing menu will be entirely matched to the perfect beer,” he said.

Archive is located at 100 Boundary Road in the heart of West End, and is open Tuesday to Sunday from 11am till late, with breakfast available from 7am on Saturday and Sunday.
