Description

The Heavy Anchor is a new nightspot on South Gravois. The bartenders serve cocktails in Mason jars, Heavy Anchor pins to festive-up that tatty punk jacket, and, just in case your Franzia problem is so out of control that you need a fix even in full view of strangers, boxed wine. Formerly the home of Antarctica, this bar/venue is one of a growing number of gin joints offering live, original music from the legions of talented music makers on the local scene and, yes, even some national artists as well. It's always free to get into the bar for drinks or movie nights, and shows are just $5. Artists lent their painting prowess to the bar, so the walls are covered with nautical-themed murals, including a glaring narwhal and a friendly blue octopus toppling a cityscape with its tentacles. You'll find local brews on tap, as well as such hometown munchies as Dogtown pizza, Billy Goat chips and Gus' pretzels.
