Great drink menu, but Jodi can make whatever you want! Cool atmosphere.

Great bartenders, great prices, and it's a clean "dive" bar.

Best bar in town. Live music every weekend, karaoke twice a month, open mics for comedy and poetry, lots of NA options, plus a twelve foot tall skeleton that dresses for the season. I love this bar.

I love the Heavy Anchor! Such a wide variety of events, always a chill vibe, and pizza to wash down with your drink. One of my fave places.

The Heavy Anchor feels like my home away from home. They offer a wide variety of drinks, plenty of non-alcoholic options, and a nice selection of frozen pizzas, including vegan choices. The Anchor hosts a wide range of events—music, comedy, poetry, dance parties, and more—not to mention a great selection of board games, pinball, and foosball. The staff is always welcoming and a pleasure to interact with, and the owners are some of the nicest, most genuine people I know. Whenever I get the itch to go out, The Anchor is always my first choice.

If super cool Dive is still a compliment then that describes Heavy Anchor to a tee. Dogtown pizza is the only food but who doesn't love that? Drinks are cheap and bar staff was friendly AF.

Best of all, they have a stage in the back for shows, I saw comedy/improv but sounds like they have bands too.
