Perfect place to get loose on a friday

By BakedAlaska on 1/20/2010

Overall Rating: 9
Yes, I would go back!

Loved this place! The DJs are great, atmosphere is wild, and the bar staff is amazing. Easily made a reservation for 10 and because of this, I wasn't expecting to find the place rocking at 11:30, but it sure was. Will totally be coming back here very soon! So nice to escape the meatpacking hordes on a friday and find someplace cool to party.

Ridiculously Amazing

Yes, I would go back!

The whole point of going out is to have an amazing time on the dance floor, not posing against the wall pretending to be too posh to breathe! I’ve been hearing about Anchor for a while and it did not disappoint! The music will definitely get you going, the décor is perfect, the people are stunning. I loved it so much I am throwing our Holiday Party at the Anchor. The staff at Anchor are beyond remarkable, helpful and totally bringing our event together. The entire company is psyched for our party and ready to ‘cut a rug up’! Will keep you posted on the outcome of our party!

Not what I expected

Yes, I would go back!

I've been hearing about The Anchor for some time, and finally made it down last Saturday and was pleasantly surprised by the abundance of quality people and the fact that one of my favorite DJs (DJ Price) was spinning here. I heard him last week at 1Oak, and he was amazing, but the crowd there was too stiff and pretentious to fully let loose. This was not the case at The Anchor. people were going bonkers: dancing, drinking, just partying, really. It felt like a real new york party, not some midtown frat party or stupid meatpacking nonsense. We had a great time and couldn't believe how sexy the crowd was. great bar, I will be recommending this to all of my friends and co-workers.

Spectacular Halloween event

By Thelastword on 11/6/2009

Overall Rating: 9
Yes, I would go back!

On our way to a loft party, we decided to stop off at at The Anchor where are friends were attending a Halloween party. Wow. Let's just say I've never seen an entire room having so much fun. There were no uptight people to be found- no poseurs or angry faces, just a sexy crowd getting their drink on and dancing like someone sent an electrical charge through the floor. The drinks were pumped out at a feverish pace by several scantily clad beauties and were suprisingly strong and tasty. After several, I joined the throngs of revelers and soon found myself sandwiched between two brazilian models on top of a banquet. Suffice to say, we never did make it to that loft party...but one thing is for sure, the Anchor will be on my agenda again very soon. Well done.

its all about fun-

Yes, I would go back!

my girlfriend works across the street at giorgione so after her shift ended on a friday night we were curious as to what was going on in the spot with no name. once inside, the music was great, people handsome and, oh boy, was the party banging. around 1;30 am, people started piling in out of the woodwork. this was by far, the most fun i had out in nyc in two years. thanks for a great time. also, it was fun seeing tony soprano in the window booth up front.

Good times on the west side...at anchor in nyc

By loveinnawe on 10/13/2009

Overall Rating: 10
Yes, I would go back!

The anchor is one of nyc 's best kept secrets during the week... stumbled upon the anchor with a friend on thursday and had a great time. the crowd was so cool looking and they were partying. hard. djs were killing it all night and the dudes from team facelift performed and even dj'd a set. the anchor throws a mean party. havent been on the weekend, but will be back on thursday for sure.

Really Great Little Place!!!

By theconundrum on 9/23/2009

Overall Rating: 10
Yes, I would go back!

I'm an event planner, and I know a good party when I see one- and Anchor definitely had it going on! The door staff was kind and accommodating as opposed to obnoxious and rude for no apparent reason, so i was pleased with the place before I even walked in. The nautical decor was cool, and it juxtaposed nice with the DJ and the hip crowd. Which brings me to my next point: the music. From the time we arrived, we didn't stop dancing. The DJ was fantastic! He played a great variety music all night. The dancefloor was packed and the place was busy, but the vibe was cool- it looked like everyone was having as good of a time as us! Cocktails were delicious and strong and the staff was having a good time and very friendly also, rare for a trendy new york club. I'll definitely be back- it was nice to go out and actually have fun for once!

Where do I begin?

By tinydancer1912 on 8/6/2009

Overall Rating: 10
Yes, I would go back!

This place has the best DJs, but in a more intimate space and cooler location than you would find at most big clubs. I booked my party here on the recommendation of a friend, and I was pleasantly suprised. Great crowd and decor, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and as I said, the music was fantastic. I highly recommend this place and we will be back!

Best Looking Crowd, Best Music & Dance, Best Drink

By pinkyb on 8/4/2009

Overall Rating: 10
Yes, I would go back!

What we all want is a good looking crowd and some fun - - Anchor has it - - good looking women AND men! Heard about this hidden gem with its off-beat facade, and it lived up to its reputation. The DJ does awesome mixing that just gets better and better as the (long) nite goes by. Everyone is dancing! In how many bars do people really dance??? And the bartenders are not shy on the alcohol in what are reasonably priced drinks. Want to truly party or have a party, this is the place. No stiffs here. Staff is great. My next party will be at Anchor!
