Reasonably priced drinks, surprisingly delicious food, quick service, funky decor, and great music - everything you need for a great bar! Wife and I got the Carmen fries (pictured) and did not disappoint! In the past we've tried the sisig chopped cheese and it was also pretty dank and quite unique. The inn is open late too, which is a huge plus! One of our fav spots to stop at pre/post music on the area too. read more

This place is bigger than the eye can see. Id describe it as a clean neighborhood dive bar. They have 2 credit/cash accepting pool tables in the second room at the back And a old school shooting arcade game . Im doing dry January, they had a nice selection of NA (non alcoholic) drinks. For food we ordered the anchored nachos no meat, buffalo wings and the Carmen fries. Portions and prices are really decent. The flavor was pretty good. They play a variety of music. The staff was friendly,Tasha took care of us. If in the area again id stop in. It was walking distance from the rage cage. read more

Anchored Inn has been on our radar for their sisig chopped cheese, and we were luckily able to snag a table on a busy Friday night! We shared an order of the Carmen Fries along with the Sisig Chopped Cheese (side of salad). The Carmen Fries were awesome- we loved the cheese blend and the aioli. Sisig Chopped Cheese lived up to the hype too, super flavorful. Even the side salad had a yummy dressing on it! Drinks were pretty reasonably priced too, my favorite was the Frozen Thai Iced Tea! Definitely will come back - that Chopped cheese was so uniquely delicious!!! read more

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. read more

Went here recently and unfortunately had a pretty bad experience. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and right away the chicken tasted off. It had a strange taste that made me stop eating it after a few bites because something didn't seem right. Later that night I ended up getting really sick with stomach issues, which I'm pretty sure was from the sandwich. The fries are also wayyy too salty! Hoping this was just a one-off issue, but I'd be cautious ordering the chicken here. Hopefully the bar can take a closer look at their food quality and storage or maybe cook food a little longer. The ambience is cool here but the service and food quality isn't great. Everyone working there seems like they can't be bothered. read more

Hip Brooklyn dive bar with delicious food and cheapish drinks. Nachos, burgers, lumpia are stellar. Perfect spot to pregame a concert at the Meadows or the Monarch. Service is a little slow but that's usually because they're almost always busy. Have patience and tip generously. read more

Not nice staff. Condescending and overly strict, especially for a dive bar. Ruined the ambiance for me compared to other more friendly and relaxed dive bars in the city. read more

Cheap drinks, unexpectedly great food (the burger was really quite something), friendly no-BS service, good crowd. First rate dive!

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. read more

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. read more

The Anchored Inn - Sisig Chopped Cheese ($14) - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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. read more

Super cute divey spot! Popped in for an afternoon drink and their food menu caught our eye - the kitchen is slingin' some serious heat! Our friendly bartender made us some incredible spicy palomas with a fermented serrano mixture that they make in-house, insanely delicious and well-balanced. A fantastic price point for the large format beverage as well! Ordered cheesy corn fritters that came with a nųoc chom reminiscent sauce that wasn't the exact same thing but same energy - a little sweet, little sour, little heat, little funk... a LOT of flavor. The sisig chopped cheese was KILLER too! Came with fresh cut fries that were the perfect texture. Order a side of their charred scallion aioli for the fries, it slaps!! read more

Stopped by for some drinks after taking an art class nearby. It was a pretty hot day and the bar had a very comfortable climate. I had a couple of draft beers while my wife had some seltzers. We also had the Carmen fries (fries topped with queso, bacon, and scallions). Solid bar food. Service was quick and on point. read more

THE. NACHOS. Cool place, got a lil hungry and said let me get a snack to pick on, enter their nachos. Idk what you put in them but never stop. I ate them on friday, probably texted my friends about 4 times since saying I need more. So goooooooood! read more

Amazing food for a bar like this. Everything on the menu is bomb. Brussel sprouts - bomb. Carnitas - bomb Carmen fries - bomb Chicken sando - bomb The nutcrackers are strong and tasty Cheap shot and a beer Next door to a vegan spot if that's your thing. read more

The food was awesome, the service was pretty whatever. They had outside seating, the bar, and some booths. I'd probably order delivery vs going back. read more

Had pieces of a ceramic cup on my plate?? Waiter was super rude. Food was okay. Bleh. Need to learn better service!!

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. read more

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 read more

Loving this cool dive bar. Great food with tons of beer options, what's not to love. Rock / metal bar has tons of cool art and also an outside drinking and dining area for the summer months. The price is also a nice highlight and just right! THE FOOD Get the nachos, fries and chicken and waffles!!!! Everything is made so delicious and good. DRINKS Enjoyed a hot tottie ($8) during today in the dead of winter They have several beers and pitcher deals Anchor bar is a fun, hip, exciting place for brunch, happy hour and more!

Nice hole in the wall in an artsy environment. Nothing wrong with the brunch, the Tennessee chicken was crisp and spicy but fell short of sides. The avocado toast is delicious but lacks some sides as well. Th sense of humour is present everywhere inside but the place overall could use some cleaning. read more

A group of us stopped by the Anchored Inn, Wednesday Night 7/19, after a show at the Brooklyn Monarch. None of us could get the bartenders attention, even though we were sitting at the bar. We had to keep going up to her to place our orders. After 10 minutes of waiting for her to take my order, while she was busy on her phone the whole time, I decided to go up to her too, to place my order as well, and was faced with major attitude after interrupting her important phone time. She just couldn't be bothered. It wasn't even that busy and she seemed miserable and angry being there and was taking out her anger on every single customer. I've been a bartender in the neighborhood for 24 years and still currently work at 2 major Williamsburg bars and have never been faced with such attitude before. After a friend waited 20 minutes for her 2nd drink, we decided to leave. We would have Drank a whole lot more and tipped a whole lot more but this bartender is obviously not interested in making money for herself or the bar. The worst part was the young man next to us thought she wasn't serving him cause he was Latino, and we just told him it wasn't him, she was treating everyone with the same disrespect. I will never be returning to this bar. Too bad cause the burgers were delicious and a friend recommended this place. read more

This place left a real impression on me, and when I say that I am being literal as I have bruises from the mosh pit. Yes, I said mosh pit. Everything here was pretty unexpected and made me feel like I was in a time warp, where it was 1997. I recall that being a good year, so I was fine with that. The cover charge was $12 and there were four bands. There was some serious head banging -think White Zombie bassist style and the bands sold cassette tapes. Amazing. When we wiki-pedia'd the headliner, they categorize themselves as doom metal, a genre I did not even know existed. Very surreal experience, quite the adventure! $3PBRs.... read more

I just recently joined Yelp so I'd like to keep this as simple as possible. Dan Gordon is the best Damn Bartender in the fucking world. If you don't know that, well you'll know it soon. Sometimes The guy will just show up at your house with exact beverage that you were thinking about! Sometimes you're driving, And he appears shotgun with an Arnold Palmer! Fuck! and if that isn't good enough he's already halfway done cooking that delicious burger the Anchored Inn makes, but in your kitchen!! All jokes aside Dan Gordon is a mind reader and a saboteur of sober. The Anchored Inn will always be a homemade home base of awesome. And thin lizzy read more

Awesome Honestly, by far, the best bar in Brooklyn. I know it is personal taste, but a dark bar that plays metal music and serves a 6 dollar beer and shot combo. Strangely, the food is even very high quality. They have all of the bases covered. Velour paintings on the wall, more metal music, affordable, and an awesome staff. Tip: All drafts are 4 dollars during Happy Hour. If I could live in this bar, I would. It's that cool. Thanks read more

Great vibe, good drinks and good food! We had about 8 mimosas, the double cheeseburger with fries and 2 Frozen Painkillers. I left with a happy stomach, a buzz and happy!! read more

#This bar rules. Love the #Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and #Chili-Lime Roasted Peanuts and the #velvet paintings. #But this time came for the #Burger and Beer Happy Hour special which is now $15. If you read the #Yelp reviews, it used to be cheaper. If it was $10-12, it would make sense. But at $15, it's not #something you'd come specifically to this #bar for. If you were already going to order a #burger and beer anyway, then you save a few dollars. #burger was okay. Needs #fixins #ketchup #mustard #salt read more

One of the best punk bars in Brooklyn! Bartenders are friendly, service is fast, and they always play rippers over the speakers. No Hope for the Kids? Discharge? Danzig? Get down to The Anchored Inn to get down! read more

True gem in this neighborhood. Our bartender at The Well nearby strongly recommended us for the cool punk rock music and atmosphere, plus the Carmen fries. I love the unpretentious environment (this is after all in Bushwick, so if you're looking for posh and high maintenance - you are in the wrong neighborhood), music, cool bartender, good variety of drinks offered at a reasonable price and those fries! You would not expect this place from the look of it that it would have good fries. Those fries are so bad for ya - don't expect gourmet, but there's something about this 1,000 calorie food drenched in cheese that makes it so good. I found myself taking each fry and trying to scoop up more of that cheesy mess at the bottom to increase my satisfaction and calorie intake. This seems to worsen as the night grew and my alcohol consumption increased. I can understand why the bartender from the other bar down the street says the same for these fries. I have to make sure when I'm around here to either not have dinner or to make these fries as a substitute for dinner. There's just something about them that makes me need them if I'm around here. Help! read more

Walked into bar and stood behind chairs at bar waiting to order drinks. The two female bartenders working on 12/07/19 were not serving other drinks during this but did a very good job of walking back and forth to appear busy behind the bar. I then moved my position to against the bar after some people who were seated left to attempt to be noticed after 10 minutes of waiting to be approached by a bartender to order a drink. After about 20 minutes of waiting total, we left. Maybe we didn't appear metal enough? Maybe the pride flag on their door is a Brooklyn formality insinuating all are welcome but we only serve those who dressed for our scene? Who's to say but the service in my case was non-existent and I won't be returning to be ignored for another 20 minutes. Leaving on a positive note, the metal dudes filling up the space in there were kind sir's & gentlemen when it came to moving around to allow people to exit and such. Thanks fellas. read more

Average food served at high prices with surly bartenders and very normal drinks. Bushwick!

To be so divey vibe wise, the food here is really amazing. The food is honestly the only attraction for me. Only because the overall vibe just isn't my scene. The music isn't my cup of tea and the service hasn't been anything to write home about. I've been 3 times and sat at the bar all 3 times. The beer selection is ok. The burger is amazing. The torta de pollo is delicious. And the buffalo chicken sandwich is banging. I literally just go for the food. It's not a place that makes me comfortable enough to hang out or chill for extended amounts of time. I typically eat and dip out immediately. However, I say give it a try. read more
