Vibe: Although owned and operated by a publicist and 2 designers, fight off the sarcastic smirk sneaking onto your face.  Voted New York City’s best bar/lounge of 2007 by Paper Magazine, The Anchor is an ideal setting for your next birthday party, corporate event, or just a weekend spot to get tipsy with one of SoHo’s most appealing clientele.   

Spot: Decorated in a somewhat nautical, somewhat hunting-lodge theme (complete with antler chandeliers and wood details), don’t be fooled by the American eagle wallpaper, there’s no Milwaukee’s Best or orange hunting apparel to be found here (although there are rumors of Johnny Knoxville making appearances from time to time).  With a DJ spinning rock, rap, and 80s favorites, your party’s most likely outcome is as follows:  after one too many gin and tonics, you and your friends find yourself surrounded by the beautiful crowd on the dance floor, doing your best C-walk to Tone-Loc (just keep smiling and yelling “woooo” and no one will notice how off your steps are).       

The Deal:  Although the décor invokes the feeling that you stepped off a New York City street and into a cabin in Maine, the crowd is young, loud, and ready to throw back some Patron.  Drinks are reasonably priced, and The Anchor also features a creative cocktail menu.  With no cover charge or required bottle service, this hybrid of rustic lounge and bangin beats, all wrapped up in a delightfully Americana package, is the perfect place to throw your next birthday party.  Remember, if you don’t drink to excess with the gorgeous patrons of The Anchor, the terrorists win.
