The Archives Bar & Bistro

Welcome to The Archives, a casual, but elevated bar and restaurant located inside Hotel Napoleon in Downtown Memphis, Tennessee.  Owned by an acclaimed culinary team, the establishment serves craft cocktails and creative dishes with Southern charm in a “Downtown savvy” environment.

The name “The Archives” pays homage to the Hotel Napoleon building’s history as the former home of the Memphis Press-Scimitar daily newspaper. In a newspaper office, the library where microfilm or printed copies of past editions are stored is called “the archives.”

Whether you are dining solo or sharing a meal with friends, The Archives invites you to gather, savor, and enjoy.
