“ This place was so cute and we had such a great experience. I came with a large party of ten and they accommodated us perfectly. The waterfront patio was so nice and overall we had a great experience. ”
“ Tried this spot recently and was pleasantly surprised with their new food additions, especially all of their in-house smoked meats! Very friendly atmosphere with plenty of lovely staff. Will definitely be making a return ”
“ Very fun outdoor spot in Charlestown. I started coming here during the pandemic because it's all outdoor seating and it felt like one of the safest places in town. You can enjoy a drink and snack while watching the boats on the harbor. They offer a handful of wines, beers, and mixed drinks. They also offer several different snack options. Definitely worth stopping by on a beautiful day! ”
“ The Anchor deserves five stars if you're looking for a vast outdoor beer garden/playground for adults on the Boston waterfront with stunning views of the north end and downtown. We came on a sunny September afternoon and insinuated ourselves into a mellow crowd vibing on 90s rock, corn hole games, and a bewildering array of seating options--all colored turquoise and spread around a large plaza with a wading pools and fountains. Beer-wise, I told the bartender that I like IPAs but not too bitter and he recommended The Town, billed as a "session India Pale Ale" and just right, 4% ABV, some mangoey notes. My wife, a lager fan, got the Bent Water premium lager which she liked. We didn't order any victuals so I can't comment on the quality of their pub food. But I can't imagine a better spot to while away a couple of hours on a sunny Boston afternoon. ”
“ I stumbled upon this beer garden while walking along the harbor in Charlestown. There's a limited beer and wine selection with some food (hot dogs, pretzels, etc.). Water costs $2 per bottle. The seating area itself is gorgeous. There are turquoise chairs and couches, and options to sit by the water, on the first floor, and on the second floor. This is such a dreamy place to watch the sunset and gaze at the city. Expect fairy lights, music, and a relaxed vibe. I definitely prefer this spacious beer garden to others in Boston. ”
