The Anchored Inn

Bars are often just bars. If you've got a room with beer and booze and bartenders, it's enough to get people to come hang out. And it can even be a good one, if you've got nothing but the three Bs, as long as they are quality.But when you add some extras, you can make a bar truly great. Anchored Inn has a few things that make it GREAT.1. Surprisingly delicious food. Their menu is accessible but with a few interesting twists, and everything I've tried has been of almost shockingly high quality. The burgers are essentially perfect bar burgers, but gussied up with a very welcome charred scallion aioli. I like that you can get an actual good salad instead of fries if you want. The chicken fingers are actually crispy lemongrass chicken bites, with a fish sauce spiked chili lime dipper that is salty and pungent and awesome. And the nachos are the real deal. 2. Great bartenders. Except this one guy who I think hates me. Probably because of my face. I'm not a big fan of it either, guy. 3. Good music. Not as metal as you may have seen advertised (thankfully), but a rock and roll vibe for sure. 4. Interesting and funky decor. Think weird paintings of historical figures, fun nautical gear (fits the name of the place), the odd skull. All of it is good for when you're stuck chatting with someone you don't care to chat with, and want to look around. I like this place. Even if it was just the food and the booze, I'd like this place.

This place rules. Great food, solid drinks. Drinks can be a little overpriced, but the food is killer. Had the Sisig chopped cheese ($14) last time I was there with fries and a side of charred scallion aioli. It's a banger.

Super cute divey spot! Popped in for an afternoon drink and their food menu caught our eye - the kitchen is slingin' some serious heat! Our friendly bartender made us some incredible spicy palomas with a fermented serrano mixture that they make in-house, insanely delicious and well-balanced. A fantastic price point for the large format beverage as well! Ordered cheesy corn fritters that came with a nųoc chom reminiscent sauce that wasn't the exact same thing but same energy - a little sweet, little sour, little heat, little funk... a LOT of flavor. The sisig chopped cheese was KILLER too! Came with fresh cut fries that were the perfect texture. Order a side of their charred scallion aioli for the fries, it slaps!!

I love this Bar. Amazing food + cheap drinks and cool metal vibe if your into it . I had chicken sandwich and it was to die for

Cute place. Cheap drinks.$7 drafts$11 cocktails $1 mozzarella sticks$2 bags of chips. Good for a casual date or night out with your buddy for pre-gaming.

Came here to get a very late night bite to eat with a friend of mine and he suggested Anchored because, well it was the only option that late in the evening. We walked in and sat down at a table just in time, the kitchen was closing and the bartender who came around to us said it was last call for food. My buddy said we needed to get the Carmen fries to split and we each got the cheeseburger and I got the salad. I honestly wasn't expecting much, dive bar, late night but those fries were delicious, hit so many notes for late night eating. The cheeseburger was ok, decent simple burger.Why such a low rating? Well, as soon as I got back to where I was staying I basically sprinted to the bathroom as soon as I unlocked the door. Man, it was a close one.

Stopped by for some drinks after taking an art class nearby. It was a pretty hot day and the bar had a very comfortable climate. I had a couple of draft beers while my wife had some seltzers. We also had the Carmen fries (fries topped with queso, bacon, and scallions). Solid bar food. Service was quick and on point.

THE. NACHOS. Cool place, got a lil hungry and said let me get a snack to pick on, enter their nachos. Idk what you put in them but never stop. I ate them on friday, probably texted my friends about 4 times since saying I need more. So goooooooood!

The food was awesome, the service was pretty whatever. They had outside seating, the bar, and some booths. I'd probably order delivery vs going back.

Had pieces of a ceramic cup on my plate?? Waiter was super rude. Food was okay. Bleh. Need to learn better service!!
