Our Story

A Minneapolis Tradition Since 1997

What started as a neighborhood bar on the waterfront has grown into one of Minneapolis's most beloved dining destinations. We've never lost sight of what matters — honest food, generous portions, and a room where everyone feels at home.

The walleye at The Anchor is the best I've had in the city. We've been coming here for our anniversary dinner every year for twelve years. It never disappoints.

Lively atmosphere, attentive staff, and an Old Fashioned that rivals anything you'd get at a proper cocktail bar. This is my go-to spot when clients are in town.

Sunday brunch is an absolute must. The eggs benedict and bloody mary are legendary. We wait all week for it. The staff knows our order by heart at this point.
