Anchor Spa

About

Iconic Cocktail Bar and Pan-Caribbean Restaurant

Story

Named after the Milford, Connecticut beach where it first opened during Prohibition, in its halcyon days The Anchor became a favorite watering hole for actors, artists, poets, writers, and Yalies, and the after-work boîte for bartenders and staff from other bars. Over decades the cocktail lounge attracted playwright Thornton Wilder, writer Wally Lamb, and an array of celebrities, including Lucille Ball, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., George C. Scott, Jim Morrison., and Yale alumna Jodie Foster.

On January 4, 2015 The Anchor closed its doors. The business had been facing many pressures and challenges in preceding years, as it struggled to evolve with the changing times.

In its 2016 relaunch, The Anchor will effortlessly align with a revitalized Downtown New Haven, in the vibrant midst of Yale University. The bar and eatery will simultaneously honor, embrace, and reflect the City’s economic, social and intellectual diversity—representing a cultural cocktail of town and gown.

The Anchor’s new owner, Yale alumnus Karl Franz Williams’ plan is to preserve the best and most recognizable aspects of the restaurant’s former incarnation: Maintain The Anchor name; refresh and restore its Art Moderne façade; spruce up the original tin ceiling; bring in a new jukebox; and keep its characteristic booth seating largely the same. Williams’ intent for The New Anchor: to create something evocative and timeless.

Great atmosphere!! Small Caribbean tapas style place. Best drinks Ive had in a place ever!! Must try. Must go! The shrimp and Grits were amazing. Staff was very personal.
Friendly and outgoing staff with delicious cocktails. Very accommodating setting us up next to the heaters on the patio, much appreciated.
Always enjoy Anchor. Good vibes, good people and good service...
Appetizers: Aloko, Somone and Guacamole with yucca fries. As a huge fan of plantains, I had a hard time restraining myself with the Aloko. However, I managed. The Somone is basically a mashed-potato lover's paradise. The yucca fries are incredibly starchy so they weren't greasy, just salty and dense.
Wow! They serve bammy! Haven't had it years! Nice Great cocktails as well!
Cool little bar with interesting drinks.
Soft reopening July 1, 2016. "Harvard-Yale; and "Shanghai" were good, but sweet. Gin cocktail with "seafoam" was delicious. Snack plates were promising, but need some refinement. I'm holding my final review until they're established.
The eggplants were giant circles of cardboard. The menu said one entree would come with pita/hummus, but when we asked they didn’t have any idea that was on the menu. Overall the food was not worth the money and the drinks were fine.
Love the place. Nice vibe. Amazing cocktails. Place to go in New Haven if you are looking for some great cocktails. Bartenders are really attentive and professional.
