I had dinner at the Anchor Bar recently and it was a great experience. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed evening meal. We ordered the turkey and ham, and the fish and chips — both dishes were generous, tasty, and well prepared. A reliable spot for classic, hearty food.

Friendly staffFish & chipsSeafoodTacos & burritos
We had the pleasure of visiting the Anchor on our last night in Cahersiveen.
A warm welcome awaits you.
We had fish pie & it was one of the best fish pies I’ve ever had! Made with love.
Shame it was our last night. Couldn’t recommend it more. Well worth a visit
Surprisingly the fish tacos were fantastic. It’s hard to find bad fish in Ireland so I didn’t judge it by the fish. The jalapeño mayo and fresh salsa really paired well and were the real winner. The seafood Chowder and Buttermilk Chicken burger were great as well. Well done Anchor!
