Clean, swank bar in SoHo with unbelievably creepy antler light fixtures.

Great bar, Really good DJ's. Had an amazing time here at a Tribeca Film Festival after party and after hearing their DJs and loving the overall vibe, decided to do my birthday here the following week. Was not disappointed. From the initial reservation to arriving, Jason the manager was cool and super-accommodating. We got an area on the dancefloor and all of my guests danced and partied with no trouble getting in or anything. Nothing but good things to say about this place! look forward to going back soon.

Don't understand why people think this place is so good... I don't know what the hype is about this place but the service was HORRIBLE. I just had my birthday here last weekend and ordered two bottles with about 10 people. First of all, the old guy whos the bouncer at the door is a TOTAL DICKHEAD. I went out to get my boyfriend because he came in later and he wouldnt even let him in. He said something along the lines of "I will let him in when it's time for him to get in" While on the other hand, the manager who I talked to the bottles about said that my guests didnt HAVE TO WAIT ON LINE AT ALL. The place isn't even worth it for a wait, it's a small bar with way too many people. THe only thing I enjoyed was the music. I would go back here again just for the music, but I wouldnt waste my time with bottle service because even if you spend a bunch of money you wont get good service. The bouncer ruined the whole mood for the night... he needs to retire anyway, HES TOO OLD AND GRUMPY.

Good things come in small packages!. Haven't been to the Anchor in six months, and truth be told, when I go out in Manhattan nowadays, I really am not expecting much. After much debate, I made my triumphant return to the Anchor last Friday with a gaggle of girls and a couple of friends visiting from LA. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised to find the place packed with the same beautiful crowd I remember, and one of my favorite's Mick Boogie crushing it in the DJ booth. Seriously? A national DJ playing to a 1000 square foot room? F**k the haters, this spot is what its all about- The Anchor is truly one of NYC's hidden gems, and they have figured out the formula for a good time- the drinks are great, the crowd is great, blah blah blah, but really- at The Anchor, its all about the music. For a place this small to book some of the top DJs in the country is truly remarkable. Even more remarkable is that they don't charge a cover for it!!! They are located all the way on the west side of spring street (well worth the trip from the east side) you manage to get music, hot crowd, and a good time without the hordes of B & T and without all the Meatpacking District bullsh*t. Love it, for real- good things really do come in small packages! Get your sorry ass here immediately!!!!

epic birthday party. This is such a great place. I celebrated my birthday here 2 weeks ago and we all had an awesome time. The party planner we used really hooked us up, definitely use Josh from JSNProductions. com to plan your next party. We skipped the line and walked right in, didn't have to pay cover and got a free bottle of vodka. The staff there was very nice and classy, most places kick you off the table after you've finished your bottle but they didn't do that here. Awesome music, solid crowd and great ambiance. I highly recommend the anchor!

Perfect New Years Eve. Wow...I was super surprised by this place! Went for their New Years Eve party, expecting the usual mess, even after they told me they were not on any of the new years booking sites and were limiting the tickets, and they didn't lie. The party was great, with a great crowd, and the music was amazing. I went back the following weekend and found it to be a refreshing place- no BS, great music, fun crowd, and a top-notch staff. The anchor has become one of my new favorite places, looking forward to good times in '11!!!
