I've been coming to this bar for YEARS! Always a good time....always amazing service! Emily is the best! Jeff is an amazing owner. The negative reviews you see from some individuals (Hana) is because they got too drunk and got cut off.....regardless....the best dive bar in town!

I like dive bars, and this is the only bar in town with a pool table, which is why I keep going back. Unfortunately, the service is consistently poor. Over the years, I have seen Emily bring personal drama behind the bar, talk way too much about her relationships, and treat customers inconsistently and sometimes disrespectfully. She makes the atmosphere uncomfortable. The bar is also often out of most of the food menu, but that’s okay, no one is really going to the anchor for a meal.

We wanted to play pool and decided to grab a bite to eat. From the start, the service was terrible! And there was only one other person in the place. The bartender barely acknowledged us. We ordered the fish & chips. They were under-cooked (Unsafe by food handling requirements) and greasy. We couldn’t eat them. The general indoor air was smoke filled from the fryer in the kitchen.
We stayed long enough to play 3 games of pool. We had to approach the bartender for drink refills each time. We even had to come to the bar to get our credit card slip. We only received merchant copy and no customer copy or itemized bill). She did however come over right as we were completing tip and signing credit card slip. Which we left on table with our empties. As we were walking out she asked where credit card slip was like we were running out wthout paying. Yes we made her go to the table and get the signed credit card slip. Emily is callous, rude and I have to say, lazy. We won’t be back. Terrible experience.

I visited Anchor Inn after working an all-nighter and walking around to decompress. I ordered a martini, some wings, and then asked for a beer. Despite being calm, quiet, and clearly not slurring my words, the bartender cut me off—while patrons next to me were actively pounding shots and beers.
I understand that after 24 hours awake, I may have looked fatigued, but I wasn’t intoxicated. I even recorded myself afterward to verify I wasn’t slurring. What disappointed me most wasn’t being cut off—it was the lack of concern or basic human decency. No offer of water. No, “Hey man, you doing alright?”
Instead, the interaction felt like a public power move. If you’re from out of town and not fully adjusted to the time zone, think twice. And if you’re an attractive woman? I saw a visibly drunk regular grab a woman by the hips—no one said a word.
Maybe this place works for some locals, but between the selective enforcement and lack of care, I won’t be back.

That bartender Amanda is pretty cool
Probably the best dive bar in town. Not even sure there's a competition.

The owner, Jeff, was very friendly and respectful. The shrimp and fries were good and reasonably priced.
