The Anchor

The Anchor is located at 1109 E. Douglas. (260-8989).   They don't appear to be affiliated with any poker league. 

The Anchor plays no-limit Texas Hold-em, Sundays at 6:30 pm.   Typically games have 2-3 tables.  The last time I played (March 2006) first prize was $20.

(08-07-07) I have a report from P. S. that The Anchor has dropped poker.

(07-11-07) An update from P. S.  The prize is $25 cash.  I play there most every Sunday,

(05-28-07) A report from P. W.  My wife and I went to the Anchor last night (5/27).  We found the room to be a bit dark in the beginning, but as the evening went on, the lighting actually improved.  The staff was very friendly, even creating a unique drink for my wife.  We competed on three tables in the non-smoking section.  According to the staff, they recently moved to the non-smoking side of the bar.  This was a very enjoyable evening for us.

(02-06-06) A report from P. S.  Lately play has been starting promptly at 6:30.  There is a points system - 50 for playing; 250 for 1st; 200 for 2nd; 150 for 3rd, 4th, and 5th; and 100 for 6th, 7th, and 8th.  Presumably points counts towards a finals tournament at some point in the future.

(10-16-05) A review from P. S. Play tonight started at approximately 7:00, which I was told was about normal.  They did chip up the whites ($50) and then later the blues ($100).  A list was submitted to staff of the top finishers, so
apparently points are being accumulated towards a finals tournament which no one knew anything about.    It is an intriguing place and the chili was awesome!.
