Anchor Spa

Longtime bar offering craft cocktails & small plates in an intimate, antiques-filled space.
Iconic Cocktail Bar and Pan-Caribbean Restaurant.

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. Over decades the cocktail lounge attracted playwright Thornton Wilder, writer Wally Lamb, and an array of celebrities, including Lucille Ball, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., George C. Scott.
