    We've been coming to the marina for 4 decades, this is the first time we discovered this bar. Actually, we were searching for a new restaurant to have for lunch, that we've not visited so I can do a review, and this was it! After we ordered, we checked what YELP customers rated this bar, and I was surprised the high ratings. The food was excellent! I didn't know they made homemade fries, hubby ordered the Reuben Sandwich, and a bowl of clam chowder. I just wanted the Spinach & Artichoke Dip with Chips. We shared everything, and there's still some leftover for another lunch or snack another day. Only negative: The restroom is old & dirty! There's an extra latch for the stalls. The servers were friendly, and accommodating. For a week day lunch, it's a bit loud, since all the TV are on and the slot machines I noticed, but I wasn't sure if they were on or not. It's crowded!

    This dive bar has a great, lively atmosphere, especially when it's busy. We stopped in on game day, and even with the large crowds, the staff stayed friendly and attentive, regularly checking in on us throughout our visit, which really stood out. The drinks were tasty and well-made, and the food was better than expected for a dive bar. The bar also offers video poker, but they were all occupied the whole entire time we were there. I also saw that Anchor Bar offers drink and food specials during the week, plus a daily happy hour, making it a solid spot if you're looking for good value. The only downside is the small parking area, which can be tricky when it's packed. Overall, a great neighborhood dive bar with good drinks, good food, and friendly service. Definitely worth stopping by.

    I did not take pictures, I have been to this place multiple times, from lunch to late night drinks and I always have a great experience. Good, nice service, lottery is always a win, strong drinks, decent food, just a good vibe. I'll continue to come here and bring friends!

    I like coming to this bar, the drinks and food are affordable and good! The staff is friendly and checks up often if you need another drink. There are video poker machines, and multiple tvs playing sports. I'll be back soon for the Tuesday taco night!

    Bloody Mary
    Thornton A.

    Stopped in with some friends for bloody Mary's and breakfast. The Mary's were pretty darn good let me tell you, not sure what mix they use but I would definitely have another. The food was good lots of it. The bartenders were nice and quick. This is a neighborhood bar stranded in a strange place.

    Anchor Breakfast

    Anchor breakfast. Yummy food. Lots of sports on at all times. A little loud on the weekends but fun place.

    Half Magno  habanero and sriracha bourbon chicken wings & a great vodka press.

    Stopped by on Valentine's Day. When we arrived, it wasn't busy (thank goodness) but as we sat down…read morewaiting for the food, more and more people started to show up. The person at the bar was awesome! All the staff were friendly! Plenty of seating available and multiple TVs to watch. Even saw some kid toys in a corner for the littles. Now to the food... the burgers were delicious! All of it. The bun was toasted perfectly. Meat was tasty. Loved the toppings... We also tried the jalapeño poppers and fried pickles. Mmmm! We will be back next time we are in the area!

We were in the mood for sandwiches, took a quick look at the menu, and decided to go with the Reuben -- great choice. They have a solid tap list with a nice variety, including at least one NA beer and a cider option, which I appreciated. The place definitely has the feel of a classic neighborhood sports bar with several TVs, and they were even advertising a Super Bowl chili cook-off you can enter, which sounded fun. The staff was very attentive and friendly throughout our visit. Our Reuben came out split for us without any issue, stacked high with meat, and came with a mountain of fries. It was easily one of the better Reubens I've had around town -- very flavorful and satisfying. The bar itself is spacious with plenty of tables, making it good for both larger groups and small gatherings. Parking is street parking only, which can be a bit limited depending on the time of day, but manageable. Overall, a great neighborhood bar with solid food and a welcoming vibe. If you are into it, they even have a free tour of their haunted underground basement every third Thursday at 7:30 pm.

    Hoplandia just opened up as a place to grab a beer and perhaps watch a sports game. If you live…read morenearby this is a cool spot to do that. The place feels like a neighborhood bar where you'd go to grab a beer and watch a game, maybe just hang out for an hour or two. They are still in the process of opening and so expect changes in the next few months. In the meantime, they have panini sandwiches than will run you $10 and complimentary popcorn. Right now they have less than 10 beers on tap (2 being N/A), but the offering should grow. - these run $4 to $6 for a pint. A small curated selection of drinks and beer are available for purchase to go (for there or to go) as well. For now they have the cheapest red bulls in all of Portland, only $2 for a cold red bull if you need a pickup at some point. The to-go options are still growing but, their prices are reasonable.

    I was super stoked about this place. They even got a porter on tap, I was ready to come back…read moreeveryday, haha! One evening I stopped in to watch the Trailblazers game. One of the owners came in and said some weird shit about not all of the televisions syncing properly. He turn off the game I was watching, and put on the football game (which all of the other tvs already had on). Even the people next to me said, "weren't you watching that game"? It was super rude. I've only been back one time since. It really soured my experience. Bummer. There are some great options in the neighborhood, so I'm spending my money and my time elsewhere now.
