The Anchor - Menu

The lunch menu here is fantastic, particularly for those who are vegan or vegetarian, with prices on par with those in the city center. The coffee is good, the decor is nice and practical, and there are convenient places to charge your phone.

Got food here... they gave my boyfriend the wrong burger which means he lost £1.50 then he paid for an ice cream which later they come over say they dont have that one and to choose another. The one be chose was the most expensive and he didnt get any refund! Also no one during our whole time here came to ask if the food was ok (which it wasn't). Although the food tastes good!

I ordered the dirty burger, which was good but not outstanding. It consisted of two 6oz beef patties, a chicken fillet, and pulled pork, accompanied by fries and a side of mac n cheese. It was quite filling, but I wouldn’t say it was the best burger I’ve ever had. The drinks were rather pricey for Bristol; a pint of cider and a pint of beer came to almost £10! Those prices are a bit shocking! I might opt for a different place to eat, but if you want to catch a game, this could be a good choice. View menu

The Anchor is alright; I love to go occasionally but for the pure purposes of getting drunk. It's not the sort of place to go for a catch-up with friends, a meal or a quiet drink or two. Students and locals abound, and it is often hard to hear yourself think. I realise I sound like a miserable old woman, but the place is just a little bit lifeless and loud. The cheap drinks are obviously a great attraction so I recommend the Anchor if you want a messy night, but avoid at all costs if you want somewhere to go with the family or a partner as there are plenty of nicer places around.

Low-cost, but a little bit wrong, is how I would describe this pub. It's a kind of like a Wetherspoons, with cheap alcohol, cheap food and tacky décor. This inevitably brings in the cheap punters, so expect students galore if you venture in during the evening. The food's not great, to be honest (it's the microwaved from frozen kind of stuff) and despite the low price tag, is probably best avoided. However, if you're after a cheap pint mid-week and live in the area then the Anchor isn't too bad a bet. There are plenty of more civilized places around, though, if you'd prefer a little more ambience.

The Anchor is a large modern pub aimed at the student market. It's perfectly located for this mid-way up Gloucester Road and is surrounded by the student's housing. This means for those who wish to have a civilised quiet evening, avoid at all costs on weekdays. Having said that, on Saturdays the locals are out and the same rowdy crowd is probably found. In fact, best avoided at all! If you like the liveliness and the cheapness £1 pints) then make a beeline for The Anchor. It has lots and lots of seats and tables and a huge upstairs space too. Staff are most probably all students but are efficient and friendly. View menu

The Anchor is a very student friendly pub, situated towards the top end of Gloucester Road. Large, leery and covered in blue and gold paint, this pub is busy most nights of the week, particularly on Mondays as it 's 'pound a pint ' night. There are also plenty of meal deals on cheap pub food too. Split over two levels there is at least plenty of space and lots of outside seating too, located at the front of the pub. While there is nothing wrong with this pub and it is certainly great for a cheap drink, it can get very loud, very busy, and feel a bit like a student union at times. My friends and I have out grown it but if you 're a student living on Gloucester Road then check this place out i...

The decor is decent, with ample space and plenty of seating, not to mention numerous TVs. However, it's certainly not the type of place you'd choose for a romantic candle-lit dinner with your partner. The main downside is the food, which is very much your typical chain-pub fare: curries, chili, fish and chips, and the like. On past visits, we found the food so unappetizing that we had to send it back. The bartender seemed just as surprised by its poor quality, but to their credit, they refunded us without any fuss. I really wish they would focus on perfecting one thing, like a well-crafted burger menu—keeping it simple and doing it exceptionally well. In the meantime, if you're not too conc...

The Anchor is in many ways your typical English pub it is a welcoming and friendly place and the interior is well decorated giving a warm atmosphere. However it not a particularly family orientated place and you don 't see many young children here. This pub is fairly large when you compare it to others, which makes it good if you are desperate for a seat as there are plenty! There are also a few pool tables at the back, as well as a typical fruit machine, and it is a popular place for both adults and students alike to relax in at any time of the day. Every Monday this pub puts on a pound a pint night, which for one night a week attracts a much more studenty crowd and with cheap prices what c... View menu
