The Axe and Anchor Pub

As a traveller, I have some experience of places and cultures when it comes to bars and restaurants and this place takes the cake! Amazing-tasting and innovative food options, service ALWAYS with a smile and some cool events. The owner even comes out to check on people and how they are, she’s also head chef!!! Please visit this beautiful restaurant (the axe and anchor) because it’ll only enrich your stay / life.

We have been to The Axe and Anchor several times and the atmosphere has always been great and most of our meals, appies and drinks have been quite good but tonight I had the meatloaf and it was phenomenal!! Although my partner had finished his meal before I received mine it was 10/10 worth the wait. The roasted veggies, velvety mashed potatoes and meatloaf all complimented each other perfectly.

Loved this place. Excellent food and service. Really friendly. Portions were huge - maybe loggers come here all the time?? Well presented and prepared per the photo.

Did not expect this level of food. I used to visit there 30 years ago, the new place rocks it. Everything, even the view, was great.

All I can say is WOW! What happened? It used to be a little pub that looked outdated and a little dingy but with decent greasy spoon grub. I am told new owners. Now I am pleased to report that it looks like it has been transformed into a fully modernized beautiful pub eatery. The staff was really welcoming, food was great, innovative and prices are on par or better than everywhere else in Western Canada. It was really pleasing to be a tourist and feel like you were part of the local scene as tourists and locals were there in abundance. There has been a lot of hard work put here and it shows. Amazing view from the patio, beer is cold and fresh from the tap, an absolute must if you are travelling though Port Clements - Haida Gwaii. Do I dare say it is the best on the islands? Yes and most welcome since another favourite spot from years past, Charter's in Masset, has been logged into the annals of Haida Gwaii history.

This place is great especially for such a small town. The attention to detail in the decor follows through to the food. Great tasting pub type fair. Not an overly extensive menu which for the size of the town makes sense but what was on it was great. We had a largish crew and nobody had anything negative to say about the food. We were in a bit of a rush and let the server know. The food was out quick and she had bills to us before we were done so we could leave as soon as our meals were finished. They also have a great view of the harbour and although it was overcast the day we were there apparently they have amazing sunsets. I would certainly recommend this place.

Food is amazing, portion sizes are big. The service was good, we went on a karaoke night atmosphere was great. Everything I've tasted was flavorful and fresh. I would recommend this place to eat at, and for a memorable night.
