Beer, cocktails and a band

A tap list that changes with the season and a cocktail list that doesn't try too hard.

On tap

Eight taps, mostly Coromandel and Waikato breweries, plus a cider and a non-alcoholic lager. The board changes most weeks.

Cocktails

Classics done properly and two house drinks that change with the season. Ask the bar for something off-menu.

Live music

Local acts most Fridays from 8pm, no cover charge. Check the calendar or follow us for the week's lineup.

The bar

Run by two mates who like good beer

Anchor Bar opened in 2021 in an old fishing supplies shop on the Whitianga waterfront. Dave was behind the bar in Auckland for a decade, Rewi builds the sound system for the bands.

It's a small room, so it fills up fast on a Friday. Come early, stay for the second band.
