The Ship & Anchor
If a pub could drunkenly hug you, this one would. Located on 17th Avenue S.W., The Ship & Anchor is a cozy pub that makes you feel as if you’re in the hull of an old timey sailboat, swiggin’ back a beer with your best buds. Welcoming rock, metal and punk bands, they also serve as a popular music venue for small local artists to perform.
Every Saturday night, The Ship & Anchor hosts an open mic night with select special guests that are always good for a laugh. With a small stage, this pub provides a comfortable ambiance as if you were just goofing around with your pals over a beer in the basement. Try out that new bit you’ve been working on or sit back and enjoy the show.
