Anchor

Had a 45-minute wait at the fine dining joint across the street and I was in the mood for a dive bar afterwards so we switched our game plan & went Dive Bar 1st.. Best, 45 minutes of the evening besides the steak I ate next door an hour later. The Anchor did not disappoint. Walked in and saw a casual assortment of regulars. Young Affluent professionals that got hooked on the joint in High School (you know the type) there was plenty of Joy in the group. 2 merchant Marine maritime ship captains fellas from Chicago sitting at the bar head there every time they come into Port. Not long after, our newest friends from Chicago offered a shot of mallort and; .... when in Rome I said and glad to have SMASHED it the way I did. I got it out of the way, yet had to fight with the aftertaste for about 20 minutes. The Blanco tequila helped get rid of it. My buddy had an old fashioned and I felt right at home. Long expansive bar with plenty of booth seating. Just when you thought you were comfortable, you realized it was because of the tunes... A fabulous jukebox with the perfect volume playing Creed AC/DC Don Henley, Joan Jett and some of the Commodores... Great vibe. I'll be back

This place is cool. The outside is nondescript but it fits the atmosphere of the bar. I stepped in just to use the bathroom and the gentleman behind the bar, Nick, was so polite that my girlfriend and I ended up staying for a quick drink while our pizza cooked next door. The price was decent for the drinks we received. We will definitely stop in again next time we are walking past.

I’ve been to Anchor a few times now, and it’s been pleasant during each visit. The bartenders seem nice enough, and the seating is comfortable. It’s definitely an old-fashioned bar, but that makes it all the more appealing these days. The beer is cheap too, so that’s definitely not bad. As long as you’re not looking for something fancy, I think you can’t go wrong choosing the Anchor for a drink.

This place puts the dive in "Dive Bar." An amazing fossil from before the Bridge Street gentrification project. I hope this place lasts forever. Sit near the front if you can. The closer you are to the rest room, the more pungent the smell. Classic!

Fantastic bar and incredible service. I didnt catch his name, but the guy with the dreads was the coolest bar tender. Very attentive and conversational. Definitely will return!

If ur into more "real bars" , this place is for you lol! Nothing fancy but good place to hangout and get drinks with friends .

May smell like a bowling alley when you walk in, but the atmosphere is great, and prices are super cheap
