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!

Cool little place with a nice dive bar atmosphere

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.

As always good atmosphere friendly helpful bartender ( I needed help with a phone charger cord) no problem. I am on bike so I have a backpack ( like many students in the area) no problem. Not like many Nazi establishments (steel cat ) in the area.

Good cheap drinks. They need to invest in some bleach. The bar smells like a rest stop bathroom.

I’ve been here a handful of times and always have had a good time! Today wasn’t any different. The bartender and other patrons made it enjoyable! We will be back!

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

Played “satirical” Hilter songs. This is not the climate to expect hammered people to sift through satire. When asked to shut the song off by at least 3 people. The bartenders said it was a joke and the group of us weren’t understanding why it was funny. I hope all the people walking out gave the owners an idea about why it’s not okay to defend facism.
I can't get enough of this place. Best value in GR and they don’t make weak beverages. Bathrooms leave something to be desired but they work so who cares. Become a regular and you're VIP if you're a good customer. The staff is the best. It’s like a family.

Bartender allowed a woman to get taken advantage of. Was trying to help and she intervened and allowed it to happen. Reported to cops. Absolutely disgusted with this place.
