The Anchored Inn

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

I understand they’re bottomless for a set price, but, after drinking SEVEN over brunch, I should feel buzzed or something. I drank so much orange juice, people started calling me Donald Duck. Not cool!

The ANCHORED INN which is a great punk bar, with awesome food, lots of good cheap beers on tap and a cool crowd on any given night when there isn’t a big show.
I love chilling at the Anchored.
The Acheron however, gives me anxiety. Love the constantly solid lineups that always perform and props to DanO and crew for running a tight ship but the massive crowds in a small space gives this former extrovert now stricken with a bad case of social anxiety the heeby jeebies.
Support Anchored Inn/​Acheron, for better or for worse this is the spot for shows and they are keeping it alive in a part of town that’s becoming rapidly hostile to anything not corporate.

this place is still open? rad!
late night foods accompanied by loud, angry music.

Popped in here one afternoon for a couple of beers while the kids were at a birthday party at Brooklyn Zoo. Great place to hang out for an hour by one’s self. Great ambience. Nice crowd. Good service. Would kill time here again!

Came here to watch a Mets Playoffs Game with a friend. Place is a bit divy, but the drinks are cheap, running between $ 4 – 6 dollars for beer on tap.
Also got some fries which was a big portion. The place is a bit out of the way from the train, but overall it was a good time.

And waiters do not like feedback. Oh well, I guess I was wrong — I should have given only 1 star. Keep it up Anchor Inn, businesses are about customers, and customers are the ones who bring money — not tough-​punk wannabes.

Dang, why have so few mentioned the pickles here? They make them on site, and where there are pickles, there are delightful pickleback shots! Cheap and delicious drinks, it’s perfect and low-​key.
I’ve seen a few shows here and enjoyed it thoroughly. Great sound system and an intimate stage.

I love this bar with all of my cold cold heart, I also live around the corner. Their food is awesome. I literally dream about their fries. I have been here to just drink. I have been here for brunch. I have been here for dinner. Jess, the brunch bartender is my girl. She usually recognizes my boyfriend and I and is already making my bloody mary. I love the metal crowd (though I may not exactly fit in) The evening bartenders always look intimidating and scary, but they are all straight up awesome human beings. I bonded with one lady bartendress (I also used to be a bartender) and she gave my friends and I a round of whiskey shots on her…(after we’d already had two rounds). I love this place. Don’t change.

Gray beer. Wonderful bar keep. Bar back has small hands, but dumb hair. Star down for that. Bad music, I love it though, very authentic. Hard grunge slop, honestly a little after my time. Great bathroom!

Great bar, great food, and it’s a place where everyone knows your name.
My wife and I are high school sweethearts and were some pretty hard heavy metalers in our time.
When I first moved to bushwick 2 months ago I needed a legit cool watering hole, and anchored inn is it!
Rocking staff, ear-​ringing food, and great times are ahead at ye olde anchored inn.
Honestly, can’t recommend this place enough. Every time my wife and I bring our little baby Hetfeild out for brunch here I hear a little bit of St. Anger every time I bite into my carne enchilada tacos! M

Everything about the anchored inn is great. The people are down, real folks and or family. the food is great the bands are well curated, good beers, good drinks, saying good and great a lot, but what I really mean is this place is an institution.
and is known as such.

It’s a great bar, with great bar food. It’s a metal scene and if you don’t look the part, you will feel out of place, and get some glances for sure, but don’t let that deter you. The place is packed with some of the nicest people I’ve met and so much fun. I also frequently go to metal shows and punk venues, so…
My buddies were my metal radio DJ managers and I can’t wait to take them here.
Downside, the wait for food is sometimes a bit long, but has always been good. If your more of a indie hipster, go for lunch. If you’re a whiney basic b*tc# that wants the music turned down, don’t go at all and let this place maintain is awesomeness.

I spend too much time here, but it’s worth it! They have a good beer selection and the food is good for bar food!
I LOVE the burger and the brussel sprouts! Sometimes I branch out and have something else from the menu, and it has always been good.
My friends appreciate the frozen drinks and I appreciate the beer… They have decent Bloody Mary’s and cheap beers along with the more expensive ones…
The crowd is mixed, derby girls and punks…

This is a good bar with good service and eclectic décor.
Ask about there specials or take a look at the blackboard on the wall.

#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

I’m not even a fan of hot dogs but YO! Greatest I’ve ever tried; and restored my faith in hot dogs. They took a while to be prepared (probably because it was really late) but, they def worth the wait. Try the bacon wrapped dog with some green peppers on it for that extra kick. Them cheese fries were also on point.
They were amazing during the wee hours of the morning and also the next day for lunch (reheat in an oven for best result, luls). Definitely check this place out if you’re around the area late at night and fiending for something dope. They’ll hook you up.

I’ve been here a few times enough to tell you that while heavy metal bar by night, it’s generally just a really cool, inconspicuous dive bar tucked away in the lesser known or less traveled parts of East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. During the day, it’s very chill, and they have nice outdoor seating at front on a nice day. At night, it’s happening, and they have a cool, fun crowd. It’s probably one of the most diverse bars I’ve experienced, but I appreciate they make you feel comfortable enough in such an atmosphere, whether it’s day or night. Though, it might not be for everyone, especially for those who choose to be more selective.
The atmosphere is great, but it’s not a huge bar per se. Velvet paintings adorn all the walls. There are tables to one side and their main bar with stools. The beer selection isn’t so bad, and they have your common domestics available. Full bar also if you want to get your hard drinks on. Pricing is rather cheap to fair. For what seems like an establishment that may not serve food, surprisingly they do, and they do so till a very late hour. Have yet to try a lot of their food, but hands down, they serve some really awesome fries, namely the Carmen Fries with queso oaxaca, cheddar, bacon, and chipotle mayo ($ 11). This was an amazing set of fries to have at around midnight, post crazy drinking. Drunkenness did not skew the taste of these fries. They are absolutely worth trying when here. I love the fact they keep their kitchen open so late, and I believe kitchen closes at 1AM.
All in all, very cool dive bar to check out if passing through these less traveled parts of Brooklyn. Go during the day, and expect a very laid back and chill atmosphere. At night, the crowds get heavy, and they blast heavy metal for heavy metal loving folks.

I first discovered the Anchored Inn a couple of years ago when they had a happy hour beer and burger for $ 8.00. (I want to even say $ 5, but it HAD to be $ 8) I have returned repeatedly because it’s a pretty damn good burger, even at the current happy hour burger and beer price of $ 13. I love all of the velvet paintings and it’s off the beaten path location. My only complaint in the evening hours is the music is often too loud, and they have hardcore/​metal shows next door adding to the volume and then the crowd spills in, and I’m too old for that sh*t.
So I was a bit dubious about the atmosphere for brunch, but gave it a shot knowing with certainty the food would be good. And it was lovely! The usual crowds must have all been in bed nursing hangovers. No crowds whatsoever, easily commandeered one of the four empty tables outside, server was right there within seconds. I got the burger because it’s so good I hesitate to get anything else (although that chicken biscuit was in the running). He got the chimichanga, which seemed to go over pretty well, and we got the brussels sprouts. Those were merely okay.
Overall, great bar on slow nights, relaxing and tasty brunch spot.

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…
