Up on the Rooftop with The Archer

The third annual Archer Hotel Napa holiday pop-up, Up on the Rooftop With Archer, at Sky & Vine Rooftop Bar will be unveiled Friday, November 18 — with an all-new menu and cheeky cocktails crafted by the talented Sky & Vine barkeeps. This festive addition to First Street Napa in the heart of downtown Napa will offer elevated cheer this holiday season with cozy igloos that seat up to four guests, plus sparkling trees, shimmering lights and other festive details designed to put a twinkle in the eyes of visitors and locals. Up on the Rooftop With Archer will also feature:

• An all-new specially curated collection of holiday-themed cocktails created by Archer’s resident barkeeps, including Hot Buttered Rum, Not Your Average Nog, Sweet Chai of Mine and Hocus-Pocus — sure to enhance the cheer factor.
• Shareable seasonal small plates and sweets created by chef de cuisine Elizabeth Espirtu, including Grinch’s Crabby Artichoke Dip, Scrooge’s Sweet Potato Fries, Fireside French Onion Soup and Prancer’s Poutine — a savory dish layering braised short ribs and white cheddar Mornay sauce atop a bed of fries. Stone hearth ovens turn out Santa’s Handmade Daily Pie in the Sky while Cheerful Churros with apple cider caramel and dulce de leche are the perfect cap to a festive day.
• Kid-friendly treats include Zuzu’s Milk & Cookies, North Pole Pudding topped with snowman whipped cream and peppermint and Archie’s Churros (named after Archer’s resident elf) and served with hot chocolate. Big and little guests alike are encouraged to find Archie and earn prizes as he mischievously hides about the hotel.
• Holiday Photo Opps-A-Plenty: There will be a sparkly mistletoe photo-ops and festive neon signs (Drink Up Grinches and Merry Kissmas) and other selfie-worthy moments to commemorate the season.
