Cool vibe right by the water with great view. Unfortunately drinks are overpriced. 14$ for small plastic cup of rosé, no table service and no complimentary water along with it since they only sell it by the bottle

I haven’t eaten here, but I have Salsa danced quite a few times, and it is a great spot on the water with excellent dancers! They even have a free lesson if you wanna try it.

Food was subpar. They were out of chicken. How that happens 30 minutes into opening I will never know. But whatever, stuff happens. We proceeded to order the nachos. While waiting on nachos, we go to grab a drink at the bar. Drinks were a bit overpriced but we are on vacation so willing to overlook it. My sangria was not the greatest. It tasted a little watered down. Bartender was okay. We're on the east coast so not as chatty as we are used to in the Midwest and South but she was still very polite. We go back to the counter to pick up our nachos and grab a table. The first table was gross. Which again shocking seeing as how they literally just opened. Dried food on the table and one of the chairs. Our nachos were laughable! There was literally nothing on them except an obscene amount of sour cream, guacamole, and old melted queso with cilantro and black olives. The guac was good but the chips were broken into tiny pieces at the bottom. Can't even pick them up to eat Definitely would not return here again or recommend to anyone. It says something that its currently 12pm and we are still the only customers present.

Stopped in for the first Notre Dame game of the season! This bar hosts events for the Notre Dame Club of Boston. The atmosphere was perfect and we were treated to complimentary popcorn and a jumbo screen playing the game outside. It was a unique experience, and we wish we lived closer to attend all future games.

The specialty drinks are extremely expensive - in my opinion, not worth it. I would stick with the various beers and seltzers they sell. While we didn’t get a chance to try their food menu, we saw their nachos, which had us drooling. We'll be sure to get them next time!

Went for a showing of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” and it was so cute! Got there an hour early and was able to get a low table, as opposed to the bar seat tables. They also gave out free pocorn.

I love coming to Anchor, the vibes are immaculate. The view, and Monday night salsa events are fantastic. They host so many other great events as well, family friendly, sports games viewing, other dance events. One of my favorite places for sure you can definitely count on a good time.

Amazing outdoor space in Boston. I go for their outdoor dance events (salsa, bachata). Great staff and management. They have a food counter and bars for beer & wine. Lovely view of downtown Boston. Right on the water!

Gorgeous location on the water with great vibes. Salsa Mondays are so much fun here! Two things that would make it better- Figure out a way to make the drinks and food line go faster. I’ve often had to wait 15 minutes just to get a lemonade because there’s only one line and some people are ordering food for their entire family. Also, consider getting porta-potties for the summer months because one restroom for each gender is not even close to enough.

Such a fun vibe and cool venue. Awesome water and skyline views. As someone who likes to dance, I love the salsa nights. Would recommend for anyone looking for a nice night out by the water.
