Anchor Drafthouse

Anchor Drafthouse is an absolute hidden gem in Salter Path. The atmosphere is exactly what you want at the beach—a relaxed, eclectic dive bar vibe right on the water. The pizza here is outstanding; I highly recommend trying 'The Mack' (it's like a Big Mac on a pizza!) or the Carnivore if you’re hungry. They also have a fantastic rotation of local craft beers on tap. If the weather is nice, definitely grab a seat on the back deck to enjoy the amazing views of the Bogue Sound while you eat.

We’ve been coming to the area for about 6 years. This is our first time trying anchor and it is AMAZING! We sat outside on the water with live music and it was perfect. We got the margarita pizza, pepperoni pizza, wings, and loaded fries and all of them were sooo good! The cheese on the pizza tasted so fresh! We devoured before I could take a picture of the rest. I’m trying to figure out a way to go one more time before we leave! 😂 will definitely come back here every year!

I stopped here on a Sunday afternoon for a quick casual lunch near the beach . The turkey sub was good and fries were a bit unique. They have a nice and cozy interior atmosphere and unfortunately the outdoor seating area was closed because it was still soaked after a storm. The unpaved parking lot was flooded and it was inconvenient to drive and walk through it. Hopefully they can improve the parking area.

Great experience. I believe it was Nancy who took care of us. 10/10. Food was excellent and FAST. Great draft selection and even my pickiest of eaters couldn’t get enough of the pizza and boneless wings. Fried ravioli is a must along with those dipping fries (add cheese & bacon).

Lunch was absolutely delicious! The staff was great and the Bloody Marys were spot on. If we ever find ourselves back on Atlantic Beach we will most definitely be hitting the Anchor Drafthouse up for a return visit. Great job y'all.. absolutely awesome! Side note, I would love to order another T-shirt., Can you help me?
