Kick Back With the Boys, Archer-style (Part 2) Even more fun things to do in Austin with your buds

How does a private whiskey tasting and cigar event on Archer Hotel Austin's terrace sound? You and your friends can relax around the fire pit while enjoying such hand-selected local whiskeys as Garrison Brothers Small Batch (with bourbon that's "amber-crimson like a Texas sunset") and TX Blended Whiskey by Firestone & Robertson (with a "one-of-a-kind handcrafted cap from reclaimed cowboy boot leather").

Scotch aficionados? A personalized scotch tasting has your names on it. Perhaps you prefer sampling local breweries’ offerings in a private cabana on Archer’s pool patio, complemented by paired small bites from AKB Austin — cheers to that.

Just off Archer’s terrace is the terrace suite — a private room with floor-to-ceiling glass doors that can be covered for privacy or opened up to the terrace. A great space for fantasy football, watching the game on the large TV and catching up with old friends, a personal bartender and shareable (or not) bites from AKB elevate the event.

Day or night, taking advantage of Archer’s destination pool patio is one of the best things to do in Austin for a bachelors’ weekend. Plenty of lounge seating surrounds the Lone Star-adorned splash pool. Order drinks and bites at the poolside bar and watch sports on the ginormous TV from pretty much anywhere on the patio. Semiprivate cabanas are a great gathering spot for the guys, with comfy seating and space for snacks and bevs.

Ultra-comfortable and photo-worthy, Archer’s guest rooms and suites are havens of relaxation; the bedding is five-star and the mix of pillows seriously comfy. Archer’s den is ideally suited for casual entertaining, including a private furnished balcony with fireplace and fully stocked in-room wet bar. The double king guest rooms are great for friends celebrating the bachelor’s weekend together.

The hotel lobby is WOW while also warm and welcoming. Archer’s friendly team members do their best to cater to your every need. AKB delivers vibrant cuisine and a full, fantastic bar in a relaxed setting under bright Texas stars. And our neighborhood? Domain NORTHSIDE has everything you could ask for, with plenty of things to do in Austin nearby. Between the restaurants, bars, shopping and nightlife — all within walking distance — your guys getaway is bound to be a story-maker for years to come.

Direct Transportation Services (DTS) is able to handle an array of transportation needs. While Archer’s house car has seating for five guests and typically services a 3-mile radius around the hotel, DTS can arrange transport to and from the airport in either a luxury Cadillac or a larger Mercedes sprinter van that seats 12.
