Archer’s Tavern Celebrates 12th Birthday

June 24, 2022 By Lisa Grigsby

Dan Apolito

Archer’s Tavern in Centerville will be celebrating their 12th anniversary starting this Saturday!
Co-Owner  Dan Apolito says they created the week long celebration filled with special events and drink specials after they survived their first year in business as a thank you to all who supported them.  He shared that he still has 4 of the original crew from 2010 working at the restaurant. And while the menu has changed through out the years, surprisingly their top selling items have remained consistent over the years:

Sticky Burger
Wings
Fresh Cut Fries
Philly Cheese Steak
Pepperoni Pizza
They opened with 12 beers on tap and currently they have 28 taps. Back when they opened there were no craft breweries in Dayton and now most of their draft sales are brewed locally. Check out the beer list here.
Co -owner Mike Fullenkamp, who runs daily operations, and Apolito bothlearned the restaurant trade while working at Applebee’s and they along with one silent partner have created a success with Archer’s, adding a 2nd Kettering location in 2016.

The birthday festivities start this Saturday at 2pm with a Crawfish Boil!

They’ve flown in  Crawfish  from Louisiana, and will be cooking up pots fo Jambalaya, serving Abita Beers and Hurricanes! Get a plate for $10, after your 3rd plate it becomes all you can eat until the crawfish run out, which Apolito shares is usually a couple of hours
Monday June 27th – Pajama day! Wear your jammies in and receive a FREE kid’s meal!
Tuesday June 28th – Their actual  birthday! Cup cakes and Tiki Tuesday! They’ll be giving away  with free cupcakes and will also feature their house made pina coladas, hawaiian pizza and hawaiian burger!
Wednesday June 29th – Jazzercise Workout Wednesday 💪🏼
Thursday June 30th – 70’s Disco Dance Party – break out those bell bottoms! You’ll get to boogie with your favorite alumni bartenders! 🕺🏼
Friday July 1st – Christmas in July – which means CHRISTMAS MULES!
Apolito is quick to mention they owe much of their success to their great customers and staff.  Speaking of which, they’d love to add a few smiling faces to their team.

About Lisa Grigsby

Lisa Grigsby is a Special Events Director with over thirty years experience in promotions, event coordination and public relations.

Owning Jokers Comedy Cafe for 20 years taught Lisa to maintain a sense of humor under pressure. She credits Leadership Dayton for exposing her to the amazing assets of the region and Clothes That Work for being her reason she stayed in Dayton. Her proudest accomplishment as a past president of the Miami Valley Restaurant Association was creating Restaurant Week, a twice a year tradition that continues to grow and benefit local charities as well. As a foodie, it's only natural that she continues to promote local restaurateurs with DaytonDining.

As a Dayton Catalyst, her desire to have ONE community calendar and advocate for the amazing assets of the region helped create the vision for the relaunch of DaytonMostMetro, now Dayton 937.com
