Shotgun-style neighborhood cocktail bar offering local beer, wine, and a vast collection of spirits!
(301)

Since January 2015, our shotgun-style, nautical-themed, neighborhood cocktail bar has offered local craft beer, wine, a vast collection of spirits, and more than a hundred unique signature and classic cocktails. We're located just a thousand feet from the North Carolina State Capital Building, nestled subtly in a two hundred year old building under the lights of Fayetteville Street and the shadows

of downtown Raleigh's biggest skyscrapers.

We're open seven days a week, so stop by whenever you wish to join the best bartenders in the city and enjoy your front row ticket to the sights, sounds, and happenings of downtown Raleigh's oldest and most storied metropolitan strip!

The Stanley Cup Championship Parade is coming down Fayetteville Street this Saturday, and we've got a front row seat at The Anchor! 🏆

We'll be opening at 9AM for the parade on Saturday, as Fayetteville Street will start filling up well before the parade starts.

Our bar is part of the downtown Sip N' Stroll footprint, which means you can grab drinks from Anchor TO-GO before exploring the festivities on the street!

We will be keeping our designated patio area roped off on the edge of the street exclusively for our customers. We won't be putting out any tables or chairs, but attendees are welcome to bring their own.

The parade is just the beginning of the fun, as the official championship celebration takes place at the end of the street in City Plaza shortly after!

We feel incredibly excited and blessed to be a part of this unique celebration, and we couldn't be more proud of this team, this city, and all the incredible caniacs that make Canes Nation the unstoppable force that it is 💪
