    Came in late and we were looking for a perfect place. We had the best burgers, sisig sandwich and hot dog. Loved my dirty martini. Bartender was pretty awesome and welcoming. It's not quiet place but best bar vibe in Brooklyn!

    Burger and salad
    Peter D.

    Bars are often just bars. If you've got a room with beer and booze and bartenders, it's enough to get people to come hang out. And it can even be a good one, if you've got nothing but the three Bs, as long as they are quality. But when you add some extras, you can make a bar truly great. Anchored Inn has a few things that make it GREAT. 1. Surprisingly delicious food. Their menu is accessible but with a few interesting twists, and everything I've tried has been of almost shockingly high quality. The burgers are essentially perfect bar burgers, but gussied up with a very welcome charred scallion aioli. I like that you can get an actual good salad instead of fries if you want. The chicken fingers are actually crispy lemongrass chicken bites, with a fish sauce spiked chili lime dipper that is salty and pungent and awesome. And the nachos are the real deal. 2. Great bartenders. Except this one guy who I think hates me. Probably because of my face. I'm not a big fan of it either, guy. 3. Good music. Not as metal as you may have seen advertised (thankfully), but a rock and roll vibe for sure. 4. Interesting and funky decor. Think weird paintings of historical figures, fun nautical gear (fits the name of the place), the odd skull. All of it is good for when you're stuck chatting with someone you don't care to chat with, and want to look around. I like this place. Even if it was just the food and the booze, I'd like this place.

    Sisig Chopped Cheese ($14)
    Luke B.

    This place rules. Great food, solid drinks. Drinks can be a little overpriced, but the food is killer. Had the Sisig chopped cheese ($14) last time I was there with fries and a side of charred scallion aioli. It's a banger.

    Cute place. Cheap drinks. $7 drafts $11 cocktails $1 mozzarella sticks $2 bags of chips. Good for a casual date or night out with your buddy for pre-gaming.

    Carmen fries
    Ted C.

    Came here to get a very late night bite to eat with a friend of mine and he suggested Anchored because, well it was the only option that late in the evening. We walked in and sat down at a table just in time, the kitchen was closing and the bartender who came around to us said it was last call for food. My buddy said we needed to get the Carmen fries to split and we each got the cheeseburger and I got the salad. I honestly wasn't expecting much, dive bar, late night but those fries were delicious, hit so many notes for late night eating. The cheeseburger was ok, decent simple burger. Why such a low rating? Well, as soon as I got back to where I was staying I basically sprinted to the bathroom as soon as I unlocked the door. Man, it was a close one.

    Brussel sprouts

    Looking for a great late night, or anytime to eat spot, this is it, and the name says it all. No tvs, just a straight social lounge with a good collection of music and good eats, as I like to say. Tacos were good; light, flavorful and just about all you could ask for in a traditional taco. Brussels were nicely done and just charred enough that it brought out the flavor without tasting burned. But, the Carmen fries are an example of loaded fries on overload, queso, cheddar sauce, bacon, scallions and chipotle mayo, and with no offense to the French I can't do mayo on fries but chipotle mayo . I'm sold! Go visit

    Small romaine salad! Yum!

    I have a weakness for kitsch! I love the under the sea theme, velvet paintings and rocker clientele. I moved to NY from Seattle and it definitely reminded me of home. They also have a great front patio. And it is also connected to a pretty cool venue, Acheron next door. All drafts are 4 bones during happy hour! I was personally happy to find a pretty delicious salad for 6 bucks. It was a romaine salad with radishes, pumpkin seeds, thinly sliced radishes, cotija cheese and a chile vinegarette. It was refreshing and just what I wanted during the NY heat wave.

    Fun times

The ceviche was probably the best ceviche I've ever had in my life. It was blood orange based, but the citrus was really well balanced. The king oyster mushroom dish was soo delicious.

It's a beautifully designed space, and we went in the evening so it was dimly lit and had good tunes, contributing to an intimate and cool vibe. The service throughout was good both by our primary server and the rest of the team that was bringing out dishes. For the food, we did not feel that it was a strong start, but the ending was great! The first dish to come out was their cornbread, which we agreed was very light and had a super tender texture, but there was just nothing special about the taste profile to us. The second dish were their prawns. We couldn't put our finger on the off-putting flavor in there, but we agreed that something just wasn't right and almost tasted spoiled. You also had to work a bit to dissect the prawns and remove the heads and skin. To work for it and then not enjoy the taste wasn't a great combo for us, unfortunately. It started turning around with their sweet potatoes, a type I'd never had before that were "baby" and purple on the outside while white inside. They served the potatoes with a gorgeously whipped Greek yogurt that added the exact right amount of tang to balance the sweet potato and the herby topping. The stars of the night were the coconut basmati rice and the lamb shank. My goodness! The rice dish was so complex from a flavor and texture profile and just hit all the right notes for us, and that lamb! Definitely one of the best lamb dishes I've had - Impossibly tender and seasoned to perfection. One other note I'll make regarding drinks is that they did not have a strong wine list. I ended up ordering a red, but later heard our waiter recommend against getting their wine to another table and suggesting their cocktails and mocktails instead. Just something to keep in mind if you're a wine lover!

The space itself is very cozy, borderline uncomfortable. Seating is extremely tight, to the point where you're practically pressed up against strangers. If you're not okay with close quarters (and close scents), this might not be for you. It's a small place with bar seating and some outdoor tables, and when we came around 10:30am on a weekend, it was already packed. Expect a possible wait and a waitlist. Service was just okay, no real check ins and more of a quick, transactional feel, almost diner like. Overall, this place did not match what I envisioned. With so many great options in Brooklyn, I'd personally skip this one and try somewhere else.

I don't know if the flavors for the soufflé rotate but I got a 70% dark chocolate soufflé with a fantastic ganache to match it. On top of that, I believe Francesca had also poured a caramel sauce (not 100% sure) & a scoop of vanilla ice cream to top it off. It was absolutely fantastic & a real treat. All in all, I'd definitely be back at Madre & look forward to trying more of their appetizers & entrees.
