Very overrated. The place is not in such cool location to charge what they do. And that would be fine if they'd advertise their prices correctly. I made the mistake of not asking beforehand the cost of a canned beer. I should have. Because no one should pay $14 for a canned beer with no service. They won't even take your order to the table. And they have the audacity to ask for a tip. Everyone is free to run their business as they please and clients can freely decide whether to spend their money on them. But not showing their prices is deception and not fair for the consumer. I am not even sure they're complying with the. Massachusetts General Laws (Chapter 138, Section 15). Nevertheless, I will definitely never go back again.

Follow up to the manager response:

Prices were not clearly displayed in the menu in the screens. That's call deception.

If you actually check my review history you will find it's actually pretty good. You'll find very VERY few poor reviews. And you'll find a huge array of reviews from all over the world.

Table service is not really existing when you wait 20+ minutes and no one shows up to your table when you have an occupancy close to 50%.

Staff is not what one would consider nice either.

Management replies are really the "keyboard warrior" here. No apologies. No taking into account what a customer says. Just check other responses. Just entitlement and condescending tone. I am happy to edit my review to the lowest rating possible 🤭

The Anchor near Charlestown Navy Yard is a fantastic spot! We were unsure about the fireworks view but were thrilled with the clear, stunning display from their waterfront location. No crowds, just a fun, family-friendly vibe. The lobster rolls were loaded with fresh, juicy lobster, and the clam chowder was hands-down the best we had all night—creamy and flavorful. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff making us feel right at home. Skip the traffic chaos and head to The Anchor for great food and a perfect fireworks experience. Highly recommend

10/10 would recommend sweating with friends in public again.

The drinks were cold, the outfits were hotter, and the only thing more consistent than the heat was our group’s inability to take a serious photo.

Came for the socializing, stayed for the scenic steps and accidental group cardio. Bonus points for the patio seating and someone’s wildly floral shirt that doubled as event decor.

Would I go again? Only if I can bring my emotional support White Claw and this chaotic crew. 💦☀️🍹

The spot is excellent in the summer! Great views! Being a Charlestown resident, I love having some outdoor space to relax and drink in warm weather since we have no outdoor space. I will say this spot has a lot of potential to become something really great. I wish there were more options for drinks, such as wines by the bottle or cocktails. It would be nice if food trucks were available. but an easy place to just pop in and have a drink without reservations.
