Opened in 1988, Archibald's is Richmond Hill's first pub - and it has grown with the community through the years. It is a modern pub and sports bar that is known for its very friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Archibald's pub has earned a reputation for 'great tasting and high quality food' in large part to our very own Chef George, who has been with us for over 17 years.
We offer a full menu consisting of pub fare as well as a large selection of appetizers, finger foods, salads, delicious pizzas and fantastic entrees. Having a party with over 100 people or just 2? You and your friends can always expect to have a good time at Archibald's. We can accommodate up to 145 people, featuring a large 60-seat outdoor heated patio - great for those cool spring and summer nights!

I love this pub for it's atmosphere and it's close proximity to my current dwelling. The staff are friendly as well which makes a difference when you go to these places. Prior to the pandemic it was a busy place in the evenings; I used to attend the euchre nights and the occasional gathering of friends. The menu has your usual suspects: nachos, burgers, fish and chips, and a variety of beers on tap although I can't say much for them as I'm not a beer drinker. But I'm quite happy to say that they have Strongbow Cider on tap. I chose to order their Souvlaki for dinner which

This is an okay pub. I'd give them some slack for trying to operate during these pandemic times.
I haven't visited this place before the pandemic, so I can't speak to how it was before. There was a wonderful lovely atmosphere! The servers are all lovely--kudos for them working in this pandemic! They made adequate measures to operate during the pandemic. The patio they set up was very aesthetic, but it was a tiny bit dark for reading the menu. The food itself...wasn't great. I'm sort of surprised every item strikes out, so I think a few drinks are necessary to not realize

I'm basing my rating on my recent visit which was better than previous visits, long ago.
There are a number of specials. The day I went, a pint of beer was only $5.25 before 6 pm. They also had reasonably priced dinner specials. For $12 they offered lasagne, Ceasar salad and garlic bread. You must like cheese to order this because there was cheese everywhere (on the salad, on the bread and of course, in the lasagne). I was able to get them to hold the cheese from the cheesy bread.
The food was good in terms of the taste and portion size.
Service was better than it's been in the past

I came here to watch one of the Raptors games with my friends.
We were able to get a table in a very packed bar.
The service was good considering that they only had a couple of waiters to server everyone.
They have 1 big TV, but the number of supplementary TVs (for those without a clear view of the big TV) could be better. There were a couple of TVs that were turned off.
I ordered the cauliflower bites as an appetizer. They were good, but the portion size was much smaller than expected.
I ordered the game-day special to split with a friend (3lbs wings, fries, a pitcher of beer). We chose sweet

I am a frequent customer at Archibald's. Especially every Tuesday when they offer a good portion of pasta for only $8.50. The atmosphere is relaxing and the staff are always very welcoming. The only negative is that the prices on the food regularly are a bit high but not terrible compared to other pubs in Richmond hill. I do suggest trying it out.

Archie must be proud. This pub based on my recent visit was very chills, down to earth and cozy. I ordered poutine and pint. Ordered bacon onion poutine. The poutine was good, dirty and portion was big. The pint was fresh, nicely chilled and really satiated that thirst. When you are looking for just a quiet place to drown your sorrows or to celebrate a momentous occasion I would recommend going to Archie's with your buds.

Nice good size patio area. Went for happy hour on a Wednesday , and it wasn't very busy.
Server was friendly but very scattered. They always appeared confused and messed up a few things on our order. Our group tried a number of things on the menu. Everything was just okay. This place is just okay overall. I do not suggest you go for the food or service, it's more of a hang out join (watch tv, play darts and pool).

Experienced my first paint night at this location earlier today, was very happy with my time spent. Such a stress reliever to kick it back and have night for painting something fun and cool.
Would definitely recommend trying this out for a date night or if anyone like painting. Great teacher and energy from attending this event.

I have a love hate relationship. they have a lot of events but the food is terrible and the chairs uncomfortable.
It's always kinda empty so there's no problem getting in. The regulars are nice and friendly. The wait staff phone it in but are nice.
They put montreal steak seasoning on their cesars.
The manager is not the nicest person. I was there once and the manager was arguing with a guy because he pointed out an error in the bill. The error was in the house's favour but she kept accusing him of cheating. Seriously.

Its cozy and small with good service. The food isnt so hot depends on what it is usually the wings are good.
Service is good not long for wait times, they check up on you regularly.
I love the booths on the side feels kinda private and cozy with the little steps and railing going up. Does need a renovation though. The crowd isnt so great. Weve gone a few times and the men that went their were disgusting filthy pigs. Who were mean to the servers, smelled like showers weren't in their vocabulary, throwed garbage and I can't even remember the rest.

This is my local pub as I live only a couple of minutes away, walking distance. The wait staff are outgoing and friendly and are great at making suggestions. The restaurant portion of the venue has a standard and daily menu. The food is surprisingly very good, as you would generally expect bar/pub fare to be exactly that. I'd recommend that you try the O' Canada burger, the Chicken Ciabatta Club, and if you're free on a Wednesday, 1/2 price wings with the purchase of a bevy (hard or soft).
There are usually events going on a regular basis, such as Karaoke on Friday nights and Jams

Went to "Archie's" A few months ago to meet some friends that live in that area. I haven't been since the ownership changed hands and I was shocked and disappointed. The new owner, Wendy, is the new owner/manager and I have never seen such poor customer service in my life ( I have been in the hospitality industry for over 15 years, so, you know this is bad).
She berated customers, commented on their alcohol consumption, appearances and even weight?!? The food is awful and over priced and the draught beer is just plain gross. It wouldn't shock me in the least if they used

Came for their Wednesday wing night and was not disappointed. The service was on point! Waitress, Samantha, was fast and prompt with our order of wings and beer. She didn't forget the extra dip either which is a huge +1 in my books.
The food wasn't too shabby either. The wings were breaded which was a nice surprise. I recommend trying their Hail Caesar sauce. Next time I'll probably get a plate of fries or something along with the wings just cause I'm feeling a bit peckish and it's only been about an hour after my meal.
$5 a pound on Wednesdays with a nice cold beer

We have frequented Archibald's on numerous occasions, as we live in the area. This is a convenient place with a quaint outdoor patio. The quality of service is inconsistent, with the majority of the ladies appearing quite tired and road weary.
PROS: There are a number of specials through the week, such as $5.00 domestic beer cans on Sundays and 1/2 price appies on Mondays (selection) during designated times. For a quick nash or beer, I would recommend going during the Happy Hour slots.
CONS: Beer tends to be served warm/flat on occasion (especially Stella) from the tap. Food is microwaved

Writing this review really saddens me since there was a time when I though Archibald's was an awesome pub. I recently went here to have dinner after about a 2-3 year absence and it simply wasn't what I remember.
For dinner I ordered the chicken souvlaki pita with a side Greek salad. The pita was ok but nothing special, the chicken was nicely seasoned but a tad dry, the pita it was served on was store bought and the tzatziki was lacking the garlic kick. The side Greek salad was run of the mill, the only upside was that it was served with a big hunk of feta, being a fan of cheese I enjoyed

Being a Richmond Hill local and growing up with Archibald's always within sight I feel a responsibility to protect its review rating against the negative nelly's who would disparage Richmond Hill's oldest and first pub (AHEM...Jen K...lol).
What makes a "good pub", well let's think about it as a group for a second...alright class have you had time to write down your answers, well allow me to read from the answer key and as we go through the list of MUST HAVE's, we'll grade my beloved Archie's against it.

Why am I here at Archibald's Pub yelping away?
Free Wifi? Unsecured with OK speed
Beers? Granville, Caffrey's, Stiegl and few others, limited but decent selections
Wings? Half priced Wings Wednesday - stay away from Cajun as it tasted like shake and bake a salty version!
Football game with cheering fans? Great sport bar atmosphere
A little noisy and a little dark.. maybe it is better to just chill and drink instead of yelping! Why am I yelping in a bar anyway....
Our waitress is nice enough to check on us often, keep the beers coming!!
Flies season? Should I be eating fries? Why
