The drinks were strong and reasonably priced. Fast service by bartenders despite it being very busy. DJ was great and the crowd was fun.

Great bar great atmosphere and staff! Defiantly a staple of any night out in dtr
My wife and I stopped in there on Saturday night for a drink. The cocktails were great but the bartender was incredibly cold toward us and made us feel so unwelcome. I don’t know what we did to offend him.
This is the hottest place in town! And the bartender, Darius, is amazing! And everyone else too.

I will never forget my one and only visit to this bar, in June of 2015. I lived in downtown Raleigh, and frequently would walk past a homeless man who always said hello, and never asked for a thing. On this particular day, he informed me it was his birthday, so I asked him if I could buy him a couple drinks to celebrate. Anchor bar was close, so I walked in, and ordered two beers. No issue at all. As my friend comes back from the restroom, the bartender returns and asks my friend if he has any money. I explained the one of the two beers I purchased was for him. The bartender then asks me “what exactly the F I think I am doing? He needs to have his own money to drink here.” I very calmly ask “so is there a rule against buying other people drinks here? I know you can’t legally serve me two beverages at once, and you sold me two” and then the bartender literally slapped the beer out mine and my friends hand and screams “NO SERVICE”. I was completely floored. When approached with logic, the bartender resorted to hostility, and displayed his true colors.I left and we went to the Big Easy instead, and their bartender enjoyed a nice 50% tip on top of our $100 tab.Judging by the reviews, this place hasn’t changed much. I’ll never know though, I won’t set foot in a place that treats those less fortunate as subhuman.
