Bottoms Up!

Seattle Magazine reports back on a recent visit to Anchors Down. The nautical-themed Ballard bar that opened in April is strewn with seafaring decor, but: "It never feels forced, however; instead, the world maps on the wall, the compass rose and the other sailing motifs seem comfortable—old sailors should be here." Food and drinks are discussed but not critiqued. The general vibe of the place, however, sort of is: "Anchors Down is more cozy cutter than bilious battleship." [Seattle Mag]
