I love this place!…read more If you like classic arcade games and pinball games from the 80's & 90's (and who doesn't), you will love The Archives! It is exactly what you would expect - an old school arcade mashed up with a bar that serves quality drink selections. They have many classics including: Ms. Pac-Man, Centipede, Dig Dug, Frogger, etc. Pinball games include: Star Wars, Pokemon, and Godzilla. The customers and workers are all super friendly. Prices are reasonable. My wife and I want to come back for some tournaments. I think I'd have a shot at Ms. Pac-man. She would dominate Star Wars.

I'm not an IPA fan, but my husband is, so he was more excited with the selections than I was. We liked the atmosphere and enjoyed sitting outside on their terrace. The staff was friendly and let me taste a few non-hoppy beers before I selected a rice lager that was good. Appreciated that you could get an 8 oz as well as a 12 oz, and my darlin' hubs liked the one he selected also - a fruited sour.

Incredible, kind, thoughtful - best in the business!…read more We hired The 126 as the bartenders for our wedding - if you are looking for a similar service, look no more. Karen and her team were incredible, providing exceptional service leading up to and including the day of the wedding. The signature cocktail menu they created was delicious, fun, unique, and memorable - managing to somehow mirror each drink with a non-alcoholic version to accommodate our sober selves, friends, and family. We still are getting feedback on just how wonderful the drinks were. Side note, every single bartender Karen brought with her, was so kind to me, had lovely things to say, chatted, joked, and just overall created such a good vibe, that the party wouldn't have been the same without them. We've gone to this bar for years because of the great mocktail service, and it was so wonderful to have them at our wedding, providing the same great service they have for years. Affordable, exceptional, and memorable will be the keywords sticking in your mind when you work with them!

I was a little hesitant coming here because great food is just as important to me as great drinks,…read moreand the menu was very limited. The menu listed only two mains: a "Charred Oat Burger" and a "Short Rib Toastie" in addition to two salads and four "shareables". I believe there were one or two specials that day as well, one being Steak Frites. But the food reviews were good and the drink reviews were great so I decided to go. Even if I had second thoughts the welcome from Bob the bartender when I entered (first customer when I arrived at 5:00 opening time) seemed so sincere that not staying was out of the question. I took my seat at the bar (supposedly rebuilt with materials from a bar in Ireland that closed). Bob was great, with an enthusiasm for great whiskey that he couldn't hide if he tried, and didn't seem to mind that I'm not enough of a connoisseur to have many opinions of my own. Between other customers that soon filled the place he kept me talking and I'm not much of a talker. About whiskey, where I'm from, Burlington in general, and he gave me some tips on some lesser-known Vermont attractions I didn't know about. Their whiskey collection was large and from many lands. Having just returned from Ireland I was pleased to see several I remember from my visit - not just the usual Jamesons here! I prefer a cocktail to straight whiskey though, so it was Sazeracs tonight. Two specialties. First the Rosemary's Sazerac: Bulleit Rye, rosemary syrup, Peychauds bitters, rinse of Laphroaig, torched rosemary sprig. My second was also a Sazerac: their Irish Sazerac, made with an Irish whiskey and other ingredients which I've forgotten. Both drinks were fantastic, generous with the alcohol, and made with attention to details like properly-sized ice cubes (large) and pre-chilled glasses. For food I got the "Charred Oak Burger." I don't know where the "oak" comes in. The only burger on the menu, it was made with two thin patties, a great quantity of whiskey & honey-glazed pork belly in large pieces, kimchi mayo, and a brioche bun. One of the most interesting burgers I've had in a long time. Even though it was a bit overstuffed more due to the pork belly than the patties I managed to eat it without it falling apart, a common problem with burgers. Instead of the fries it came with I elected to get the roasted Brussels sprouts instead, a special shareable of the day. I don't think I was charged extra even though it was a rather large portion. These were excellent too, sweet and bacony with no bitterness. As it got busier the noise level increased but only moderately. I liked the music playing, a mix of blues and energetic classic rock. Overhearing other conversations I could tell that these were discerning customers who took their whiskey seriously and asked detailed questions before settling on their choice of libation. Just two things on the dessert menu: Chocolate Overload and Caramel Sea Salt Cheesecake. I got the Overload: chocolate cake with Bailey's Irish Cream sauce. Nothing special but I enjoyed it; a nice way to finish the meal. It was big enough that I took about half home, along with half the Brussels sprouts. This is definitely a place I want to come back to. I wish the food menu was more extensive but that burger and sprouts were so good I could see repeating the same menu again, trying new specialty cocktails next time.

That said, we enjoyed talking to the new bartender and relaxing a bit. They serve samplers, which we tried, and that allowed us to hone in on what we might want to get a larger pour of.

It was also very reasonably priced for craft beer. For dinner I had the special which was a hot honey chicken sandwich that had goat cheese and string onions, served with a side salad with house vinaigrette and a side of ranch. The server did warn me, and it was written on the menu too, that the hot honey was quite spicy, and indeed it was! I was sweating from the spice, but it was good! The ranch on the side was nice to cool it down a bit. Good service, good food, but would honestly go back for just the beer! Side note: the women's restroom was very clean and had locally made soap that smelt so nice which was a nice touch.

The bar is kind of dark, and it gives an old school kind of vibe. Be sure to check out when the specials are. It's got lots of daily ones. These can be big time money savers. It's $7 for margaritas on Mondays. Maybe these aren't that big, but these can be pretty strong. Food menu isn't as impressive. It's $9 for the Blistered Shishito Peppers. Probably the healthiest food item, because the rest is mostly greasy fried things. Good hot flavor. They also have chicken tenders if looking for meats. For a bar in the middle of town it seems pretty quiet inside. It's farther away from the college, so maybe that could be a reason. The prices are pretty good on drinks and food, and it's not crowded most times.
