The Anchor

had dinner at girgione across the street and noticed people waiting in line to enter this little bar. it turns out that a friend of mine coincidently was having a birthday party here; the doorman gave us entry immediately. once inside, the place was busy, the music great , people dancing on the walls, tables, everywhere. the entire evening was filled with dancing, drinking and huge amounts of fun. something about this little spot, it just makes you feel good, really a festive vibe. towards the end of the nite i noticed the chic who sings that hot song "lets dance" lady gaga, in the dj booth, wearing sunglasses trying to hide. this place rocks hard, a bit tight, but worth it. one of the best kept secrets in NYC; thanks for a great nite!

i rolled with my boyfriend and his friends down to this spot for a party last friday. as we got closer, i noticed a line down the street to the corner and was totally shocked it pertained to this spot. the line did move quick, as they did a good job of entry, once inside, this cosmic like energy took over ; the place was jumping, as you walk in to the rear, the space opens and you get to experince this great music spot; fun to dance and drink; totally understated with a great crowd;good looking and VERY, VERY, FRIENDLY!!! i would refer this spot to anyone looking to have a great time with their peeps, drinking and dancing to killer music; a total FUN FUN FUN SPOT!! THE party was fantastic; all happy and hungover the next day. thanks for a great night and looking forward to our holiday party here in december. keep on banging, J-

I came here for a Halloween party my friend booked and totally had the best time! Really cool staff and security people...very friendly and accommodating, which was a nice change from places who act like jerks for no good reason. For once we actually had a good time and the music was better than any big club i've ever been to, including all the usual suspects in west chelsea and meathead district. I definitely want to check this place on a regular night, but if the party i went to was any indication....this place rocks!!!

while living on the lower east side, i usually stay in my hood when going out at nite. i heard about this spot from somone at work and decided to head on down to spring street. last nite seemed a bit odd, the street was quiet, my friends met me there, albeit a bit early for a friday, hanging inside, cool vibe having drinks and enjoying the music. we all agreed that the space was cool, good music and the management lets you hang without any hassle. but honestly, we were just about to all agree that we didnt know what all the great word on the place was ; when, around 1:15 am, BOOM!! the spot turned into the fourth of July; got packed, music jumped the bar, and just started spewing with energy. total nyc, late friday crowd, all cool, pretty and hip. seeing John Mayer in the corner; drinking with friends on the DL didnt hurt. i would tell everyone that this little spot is really cool, hip, fun with great music and pretty people; all with no BS. HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking to have a killer nite out, no hassles, great music, HOT crowd. now i know to arrive early and get ready!

my girl and i were up from Miami and were referred to this spot by one of the front desk people at The Delano Hotel. my girl was giving me a hard time once we walked up to the spot but once we got inside and became situated, we love the joint. the music was dope, killer crowd, good looking chics and dudes and for the first time since i can remember, no a-hole staff. this place is the biggest sleeper downtown; EVER!! reasonable drink prices, for NYC, fun, fun, fun and alot of flesh rubbing. the night was so great that before we realized it , it was 4am and they had to ask us to leave; banging party all the way home. thanks Anchor for an incredible evening, and a special thanks to Kaci the bartender. we will be back next time we are in town
