*Please note: Outside Seating is on a first come, first served basis. You may request Outside Seating with your reservation and we will do our best to accomodate it, however, we cannot guarantee it.*Named after the Milford, Connecticut beach where it first opened during Prohibition, in its halcyon days The Anchor became a favorite watering hole for actors, artists, poets, writers, and Yalies, and the after-work boîte for bartenders and staff from other bars. Relaunching in 2016, The Anchor effortlessly aligned with a revitalized Downtown New Haven, in the vibrant midst of Yale University. The bar and eatery simultaneously honors, embraces, and reflects the City’s economic, social and intellectual diversity—representing a cultural cocktail of town and gown immediacy of a deadline. The Anchor’s new owner, Yale alumnus Karl Franz Williams’ plan is to preserve the best and most recognizable aspects of the restaurant’s former incarnation and create something evocative and timeless.

    Delicious food, but I expected more variety of Aussie beers. Dining room is an open space leading to higher noise level. Service was excellent.

    La Buena Vida food was amazing! We were a party of three, had appetizers, entrees and desserts. None of the courses disappointed. Our waitress, Anna, was adorable. She was personable and made us feel as if we were dining in her home. She patiently answered all our questions and request. The menu was pricey but worth the cost for a celebratory dinner. They do have a Sangria Sunday special but it is every other weekend. You may want to check which weekend if you want the sangria and save a few dollars. I highly recommend La Buena Vida for that special celebration.
