I was expecting something out of Austin Powers but felt like I could have been at a bar at a beach in San Diego. I was there on a Friday night and it was busy but not butts to nuts like you'd find at a place on the strip. The beer is a little pricey. $5.50 for a Newcastle, but this is Vegas.
Parking is a little cramped but I got lucky and got a good spot just as another guy pulled out. They had a dj playing songs off an apple laptop and he was playing a good mix of stuff. Made me feel like I was back in college when he put on Crazytown. When you're here, check out the upstairs area where you can kick back with some pool. Another interesting note about the Crown and Anchor is the it's the hangout of choice for boxer Ricky Hatton when he fights in Vegas.
