Anchor Drafthouse: Reviews & Ratings
Lunch was absolutely delicious! The staff was great and the Bloody Marys were spot on. If we ever find ourselves back on Atlantic Beach we will most definitely be hitting the Anchor Drafthouse up for a return visit. Great job y'all.. absolutely awesome! Side note, I would love to order another T-shirt., Can you help me?
Beautiful little spot by the water. You can sit and eat outside and enjoy the breeze or sit inside and enjoy the full bar. Perfect vibe for a chill day. Thank me later. Drinks are superb.
What a great spot for pizza and wings while on vacation! Yes, it does get crowded and the wait can be long to get a table, but it’s worth it. The inside is decorated with a cool mishmash of vintage pop-culture memorabilia and metal brewery trackers. The outside is right on the water. The beer selection is great with a lot of local options. The Salad Pizza was fresh and phenomenal! We were really surprised with how good it was. The real star, though were the wings. We’re from North East PA, so we really know about good pizza and wings. The wings at Anchor were the best I’ve ever had. The outside was amazingly crispy, but the inside was tender and juicy. The house “Anchor Down” sauce is the way to go. I wish I discovered this place earlier in the week because we definitely would have returned. Also the service was pretty quick, especially considering how crowded it was. The server was really nice and friendly.
From the moment I walked in, I knew I would love this place. I totally geeked out. The decor is super fun and off the chart! Super nice staff, plenty of brews to choose from and great food and pizza. Not fine dining or anything, just great vibes and grub. Will definitely return to this gem and recommend anyone nearby pay them a visit.
Albeit Anchor is located on the waterfront in Salter Path, it reminds me of must stops in The Keys & Bahamas. Great informal open air watering hole for the Best wings & #1 massive wedge salad.
Great experience. I believe it was Nancy who took care of us. 10/10. Food was excellent and FAST. Great draft selection and even my pickiest of eaters couldn’t get enough of the pizza and boneless wings. Fried ravioli is a must along with those dipping fries (add cheese & bacon).
Excellent food, friendly staff. Best Gluten free pizza I've ever had!
Amazing pizza! Taking a look at the google reviews was enough that we knew this would be a good spot! We started off with the garlic cheese bread that was like a medium pizza itself. This was a great sign of what their pizza was going to be like. The kids each got a personal cheese and a pepperoni. They bashed those on top of one too many slices of cheese bread. The wife and I got Large a build your own pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon, onion and banana pepper. With the cheese bread we should have ordered a medium. Wow this pizza was amazing! The sliced Italian sausage and their cheese... Who am I kidding the entire pizza was just amazing Absolutely hit the spot! The inside was a pretty cool looking joint, my son and I were digging the pop culture references. It was cooling off enough that we sat outside with a great view too. The service was on point and they were pretty busy too. Looking forward to our leftovers!!
