The Anchor

Editorial Review

Power publicist and interor designer duo open a nautically themed bar for their extended rolodexes. Just got a sea sick re-design from Rafael Cardenas, man responsible for Parker Posey's drapes. Stripes, presidential wallpaper, antlers keep it haute white trash, concrete dancefloor keeps it sweaty.  Drea DeMatteo, Johnny Knoxville and the Ronsons here on the regular. Be wary of face plants after downing conceptual liquor shots named for bff of the week. The Bijou's Crack, vodka with a coffee-and-sugar-covered lemon wedge chaser, will get you your sea legs in a jiffy.
