My boyfriend and I went to this place for the first time after talking about wanting to go for years. It is a really laid back pub with English decor and nice waitresses. We both ordered onion rings to start and then an order of fish and chips. The onion rings were huge with crispy batter making it the biggest onion rings I've ever seen. The fish and chips were awesome too, just what I expected. The waitress forgot to mention to us before we got the onion rings that Mondays are all you can eat fish and chips day, otherwise we would have eaten more. My boyfriend is a big beer fan and said he liked their beer menu! Overall, I really like this place! Remember, fish and chips are all you can eat on Mondays!!
Review Source:The only factor that makes this dive a three for me is that it is a soccer bar. The food is woeful (there is a reason British food is difficult to find: it is terrible), the atmosphere is the definition of dank, it is not comfortable, the service is indifferent, and it should be cheaper for the dive that it is. But it has soccer and a lovely beer selection.
Review Source:I had to give 2 stars based on my latest experience. Â 3 of us stopped by for Saturday morning breakfast at 9:30am today and encountered a lady bartender who could not have been more rude. Â The bar/pub had 7 customers - four at two tables and three at bar. Â We waited for five minutes to be seated (per the sign) and when she didn't acknowledge us, I asked if we could grab one of the 8-10 empty tables. Â She asked us to wait and went on doing paperwork and tidying up behind the bar. Â After another 5 minutes we decided to leave. Â C&A needs to talk to their staff or get friendlier people.
I gave two stars because I remember how good the food used to be!
Went there on a Saturday night for beers after a day moving with friends. The beer selection is great, and they have a happy hour from 3 to 6. The waitress did not let us know of the special and by the time we realized the special, she reappeared 5 minutes too late. She was, however, nice.
The place feels overall unclean. The good reviews on the walls from past times only added to my impression that the pub is falling apart.
Ambiance was dive-bar like, and they have spotlights instead of regular lights if you like to constantly feel like you're a stage performer.
To top it off, no hard liquor allowed in the gaming areas.
I just feel like the owner stopped trying. A shame as it has great potential.
Carpet has intense odor of beer/other things spilled on it. Â If you like microwave frozen food, you'll love it here. Â There's something "going on" in this place, like if I found out that there was 400 pounds of marijuana in the basement, it wouldn't surprise me. I think this is a hang out for local residents that are not allowed in casinos.
Review Source:Nice beer selection & cheap food. Â They have Chimay on draft, however they no longer offer this in the beers that they will comp for players.
We've taken part in their Thursday Night Trivia Challenge twice, but it's rather disappointing due to disorganization and it's impossible to understand the announcer because of faulty audio equipment.
Cute place, great fish and chips. 2.5 stars is my real real rating.
No comps, super tight poker. We played 150 dollars and paid for beers, lame. Service was rushed and the waitress kissed our asses at the end. The coke was flat in my two rum and cokes.
Not a bad place, but not gaming friendly.
I have never been to England to see what a real British Pub is like, but I very much hope it is like this one.
For an appetizer, my party shared a "Giant Yorkshire Pudding". Â My mother had a British boyfriend when I was young and she made him Yorkshire pudding. This one was better than some I've had, but not as good as "Mom used to make". But since those weren't authentically "Authentic" it's tough to deduct points for it. Â They got cold quick, but that was probably because of the "Giantness"
Probably the best Scotch Eggs I've ever had are here. And you can get them cold OR warm (I personally recommend warm).
I also had the Fish and Chips (Since I was going for "The Classic" British Style) and they were good. Â Just one fish, but it was a pretty big fillet, so no complaints.
We finished it off with Sticky Toffee Pudding which was great!
Through all of this, the ONE waitress kept on top of a pretty busy place. Â Considering she was the only one waiting tables her performance was extraordinary. Though as an understandable side effect, service was a bit slow and a member of the party never got the coffee she ordered with the Pudding.
I wish I was in Vegas more often so I could stop in more often. I do hope to come back the next time I'm in town.
One other side note.. They do have a "Pet Friendly Patio" so you can bring your pet for a meal outside.
(PS: Due to some drunkenness, I checked in twice. Â I've only been here once. The second check in is wishful thinking. Unless it is very far in the future and I've been here more than twice. Â In which case, subtract one)
It had been so long since I had visited Crown and Anchor. Â Great ambiance, dimly lit and full of pub style decor. Â It was a Saturday night and a friend and I decided to stop for a drink. Â We sat at the empty bar and ordered a drink. Â The bartender not too friendly which by how busy it was you would think he'd be excited to have some visitors.
Anyways, I was suprised to not see alot of people here. Â I love the ambiance. Â The best part was we moved our little party outside. Â The weather was perfect and it sits right along the side of street where you can watch the cars go by. Â Little white lights line the patio-super cool. Â I love outdoor seating (sigh)-especially when the weather is good. Â I do want to come back and try the food. Â I also think it is a good spot to have a party...the ambiance is perfect for bringin in a good group of peeps and they have alot of seating. Â See ya soon!
The burly bartender comped me a free drink because I came inside sick! Horrays!
Until I came here I was giving up on looking for a legitimate UNLV Student hangout. I had the assumption that outside of campus, they either split up to do their own thing or went to Frat and Sorority parties instead.
Almost half the people inside are attending, attended, or will attend UNLV. It's great to hang out with people my age.
Also the atmosphere is somewhat divey, however, not bummish! It is however, British, and it is LEGITIMATELY British because they serve ales that, according to my older brother, is primarily served as favorites in the United Kingdom such as Hoegaarden.
Havn't heard that one have you? Hoegaarden is the predecessor of Blue Moon and dates back by 600 years. It's Belgian White production was restarted in the middle of the 20th Century.
My brother is coming back with his overseas coworkers from the U.K. and he is definitely bringing all of them over here!
They have two locations that I know of. This one is by UNLV and the other is in China Town (I haven't gone to that one yet).
I love coming here for fish & chips. The slice of cod is huge and it comes with a side of fries and peas. If you're like me and don't like peas, you can have them get you some extra fries instead at no extra charge. The fish is not overly battered, I love the batter though, so I would love to have more of it, but the fish more than makes up for it.
I've also had their chicken tenders, which is your average chicken tenders, but they're pretty good. They're the typical ones you find in the frozen section of your grocery store. At least to me that's what they taste like.
I always get a pint a beer with whatever I'm ordering, unless it's the middle of the day, but I'm here usually at night.
It's a very friendly environment and they have several draft beers and also some bottled ones. This one is close to UNLV and since I'm always at UNLV this is the place I go to when I want some good dinner and a beer nearby before heading home. It's not quiet or loud, but has this nice vibe to it, at least to me. It is a bit dark inside but it gives you the feeling of a real pub.
This is the undiscovered part of Vegas that should be known. I like the food & the atmosphere. The waitresses are uber sexy and the decor is classic British. Â Very good fish & chips done right with a side of peas so the food is home style. Unfortunately, it suffers from a weird layout and it being in a shitty neighborhood. They do offer a British black taxi to pick you up from your hotel or house. Good parking too. Just watch your back & your wallet going in & out due to the crime ridden area its in. Â If you're a beer drinker,then you'll like the "Down The Hatch" club which one has to earn to be in.
I do like this place alot & will go there again.
I have repeatedly had the worst service in all of Vegas here. Unless you're sitting at the bar gambling, be prepared to wait: wait to order, wait for your drink, wait for your food, and wait for the bill. This last time wasn't so bad, however the time before that we had to wait for our server to finish taking pictures of herself with some other dude that worked there to get our bill. The food and drink is GREAT (scotch egg is top notch and the tender peas served as a side with many dishes a great comfort food to me), but the consistently poor service has finally eclipsed it. Bummer.
Review Source:I can't believe I didn't come here earlier. Â This is perfect bar atmosphere. Â The bar is a solid area, and it has a nice dining area that's carpeted off to the side. Â And, the bathrooms were clean. Â Granted, I came at lunch time on a Wednesday, but that bears mentioning.
For lunch, I had the famous chicken fingers. Â They did not disappoint. Â Solid breading, but not greasy or overly thick. Â Herbs in the breading was unique. Â I wasn't crazy about the fries. Â They are your basic thick fries. Â I doused them in salt, pepper, and vinegar, but that didn't do much. Â I just don't like the huge fries, but in a pub that's what they serve so I should get over it. Â
The chicken tenders live up to the hype, and the bar was fantastic. Â I'll be back.
They have british pub food...I mean REAL british pub food. Chip buttys!!!!!! Scotch eggs, lots of beer, and its pretty decent...Its not my favorite watering hole in the area as sometimes the bartenders can be shit heads, and you cannot do shots at the bar?? wtf! But if you are jonesing something greasy and british, like russel brand, then go here
Review Source:Huge fan of the Crown & Anchor!
Come here for darts!  Come Here for English Pub Ales on Tap!  Come here for Soccer matches!  Come here for a  Scotch Egg!  You can even come for an English Breakfast or Sunday Dinner...they will both suffice, but I can't truly rave about either.  And you can certainly come with friends for a good time!
The food is solid (Fish & Chips / Pub Style Curry...and I'll mention the Scotch Egg yet again!) but not worth coming here for by itself. Â The Beer is mostly English & Irish Favorites...more than the average pub, but not everything a beer snob is looking for...again not a sole reason for the average Joe to come here. Â But when you include the British Pub atmosphere, I'm sold!
I want to be in a place that feels different than average Vegas. Â I want to play darts a few times a year...so I will return again and again, have a great time, enjoy some food and beer and remember the special nights when the world just seems more right...and I'll do that here in a heartbeat! Â A little more attention to their food and I'd be handing out 5 stars with a smile!
I've heard about it for years, but I somehow never made it to the Crown & Anchor British Pub until a couple weeks ago. It's always high on a lot my friend's lists of dive bars along with Frankie's Tiki Room, the Double Down, etc, but those recommendations are typically more for drinks and overall ambiance than food. This is why I was particularly skeptical about this one, even with a few friends swearing by it. Needless to say, I ate it and was more than surprised.
The pub is located on the east side of Tropicana in an iffy area of town, but you're not coming here for the class. The interior is decked out with British-inspired street signs, posters of boats and the like, with the waitresses wearing skimpy kilt outfits. There's also an outdoor patio which I've heard is dog friendly. I was fully expecting an overly loud, smoky bar scene that would have made eating a bit unsavory, but it was surprisingly quiet on the Saturday night we were there. The menu features all sorts of traditional British dishes that I've heard are hard to find at other locations around town. This is all good, but I only really care about burgers for the sake of this review so I'll have to try some of that other wacky stuff on my next visit.
The British Burger on their menu comes with a  1/2 pound patty, bacon, lettuce and tomato and choice of a few cheeses. My burger had great char flavor upon first bite, which carried all the way through. It was cooked a bit more than medium-rare but I was ok with it due to the overall great flavor. It was greasy for the first half, dried up a bit in the second half but was still ok because of the flavor. My bacon wasn't quite as cooked as I would have liked, but it still had decent flavor. The thin onions were good but I still pulled them off as to not overpower the great flavor I was experiencing. The lettuce and tomato were fresh, although the tomato was a little sparse, and the swiss cheese was melted and good as well. The bun was soft, gooey and delicious, and was very well proportioned to meat. Overall this was an excellent burger that I wasn't expecting at all.
While I typically don't care for them, my steak fries were actually really good; they were cooked well for the most part but there were a few soggy ones in there. Â My side pickle slices were good too; they never made it onto my burger but I still ate them. At $9.25 with fries this is very reasonably priced; combine that with a beer or three and you're in for a good time. If you're looking for a unique local pub with plenty of drink and food options definitely stop by the Crown & Anchor.
While I doubt I will find another bar that will best my beloved Frankie's, I will let you know that Crown and Anchor comes close.
From the cozy pub atmosphere to the selection of drafts available, this is a great place to have a date, hang out with a group of friends, or just chill by yourself. Â You can even sit out on the patio and bring your pup! Â
There are 30 beers and ciders on tap and the majority of the selection is great. *Cough cough Miller cough* Â Sorry, excuse me. Â My personal favorite is Blackthorn Cider. Â If you're feeling adventurous you can ask them about their "Down the Hatch" club. (Hint: you get a prize for trying all the drafts. Â I've got 29 more to go). Â
The seats at the bar fill quickly, but there are some tables nearby. Â The smoke isn't too bad, but then again, I haven't been there when it's really crowded. Â Please don't hate me if you inhale a pack of cigarettes on a Friday night. Â And while the bartenders are attentive, they aren't super friendly. Â I'm going to go ahead and say it's because they are uncomfortable in the ridiculous outfits they have to wear.
You can order from the menu at the bar which might be a good idea if you plan on having more than a couple pints. Â Being British food it's not vegetarian friendly, so keep that in mind, my veg friends. Â My husband has ordered the Chip Butty which is literally a French fry sandwich. Â He likes it and I like to pick at his leftover chips. Â They do offer a veggie burger but I just don't feel right eating it in a pub. Â For the non-vegetarians, expect Fish and Chips, Bangers and Mash, and various meat pies.
Please be aware that they have lots of rules about what kind of alcohol you can drink at the bar/restaurant/patio. Â
Definitely a fun place to stop for a drink! Â And it's right next to Pinball Hall of Fame- bonus!
Nikki Jo's Ladies Restroom Review:
While it's clean, I don't like this restroom due to the creep-factor. Â They leave the window open (I'm guessing for circulation) but it opens up right next to the employee outdoor break area. Â I didn't have luck closing it but that's probably more due to the fact that I was a spazz and had a couple ciders already. Â Instead, I covered it up as best as I could with my purse. Â Regardless of whether or not it's closed, there is only a lace curtain covering the window ready for any perv to look through. Â Not cool.
The waitress and bartenders are gorgeous and everytime we've come here they have been pretty nice. Oh yeah the food is great too. I want to try the banger's and mash next. Had the cottage pie and it was delish. Just let it cool down a bit before you chow down or you will fuse your upper mouth with the lower and the only tasting you will do will be your firts bite.
Review Source:Husband ordered chicken curry and I ordered lamb stew in sourdough bread bowl. Â Both were delicious. Â We will definitely be back for the food.
However, if you are a non-smoker, I suggest you sit outside. Â We sat inside and when I got home, my clothes and hair absolutely reeked of smoke. Â (I am not a smoker.) Â Our waitress was a bit slow but friendly.
I posted my last review of the Crown & Anchor back in 2009.  I visited the pub again this weekend and was a little less impressed sadly.  The place looks a little shabby  and dirty on the inside these days.  I went there to watch Spurs give Man U a nice kicking at Old Trafford and was sad to see the state of the place.  Broken chairs, dirty carpets, dust and cobwebs hanging off everything.  Makes you wonder what state the kitchen is in.....
For a bar that shows so much sport I was amazed at the state of the TV's. Â Some of them look 20 years old, the quality of the picture on the big screen was absolutely awful. Â No HD Box? Â Are we living in 1995? It's criminal that any bar showing sports doesn't have good TV's and a HD feed. Â You can get 55" LCD HDTV's these days for $800! I watched the game on a 21" TV! Just goes to show the owners aren't investing/looking after the property.
The one thing that was a positive was the staff, they were great, especially the french waitress that looked after us (at least I think she was french).
Next time I want to see a game in Vegas I'll head elsewhere, it's just not worth the trip off the Strip these days. The 45 min wait for a taxi when we tried to leave sucked too!!
I would like to make this clear from the start, we have eaten here a few times and the food is pretty good, as a Brit living in Vegas there are times I get the craving for some good old British food, today was one of those days.
On one of our trips to the UK I introduce the wife to the British Carvery, to give you an idea take a look here : <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tobycarvery.co.uk%2Fcarvery%2F&s=9c6fb2babb60171edb8c4dccab904bf46d1e93c30760c1bfcbad67d57d5024cc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.tobycarvery.c…</a>
Now, as these are non existent in Vegas, we are left with places that serve a traditional British Sunday Dinner, right, Crown and Anchor it is.
The service is always good here, the wait staff are always friendly and quick....... And let's be honest here, whoever came up with their uniforms, you deserve a medal.
But it is the food we are interested in.
The wife went for the Sunday Dinner with roast beef, I had the Sunday dinner with lamb and beef, both dishes are served with Yorkshire pudding, veg and A roast potato (more on those in a minute), along with this my wife ordered a small house salad.
After a while we had pretty much given up on the salad, no big deal, these things do happen. however, when are meals came out, they each had a house salad on the plate, along with the meat, potatoes, veg, Yorkshire pudding and gravy.....
A pet peeve of mine is when waitstaff know that something isn't right, how a house salad, with gravy even makes it out of the kitchen is beyond me (unless this is the way the owners want it, in which case....WOW).
Anyways, a quick recovery by the lady serving us, my salad which I did not order is gone and my wife has a nice house salad on the side, which would have been better served before the meal came out, but ok, on to the meal itself.
Is it a "traditional British Sunday dinner", well yeah it is, in the same way that as a McDonald's 1/4 pounder is a gourmet burger, all the pieces are correct, it looks right, but there is just something missing.
So let us dissect the meal :
The meats were good, maybe a little thinly sliced, but that happens to be the way I like them, so I was happy, however, putting beef gravy on to lamb just destroys any taste to the meat, if you are going to offer both meats, it's actually better to serve the gravy on the side and let the customer mess it up.
The Yorkshire pudding was good, this is something that normally causes all kinds of issues to those not raised with the darn things, but they were good.
Veg is veg, enough said and ignored.
Now for the real crime on this dish, the roast potato.....This is going to be long, it is a story and a rant.
The Great British Roast Potato, a food that when done right makes a Brit smile and a non Brit wish they had been born a Brit, sounds like exaggeration huh ?
A couple of years ago we were lucky enough to host the family Christmas dinner here, it seemed like half of California showed up, the women folk worked their wonders on the veg, the father in law worked on turkey and prime rib.
Over in a corner of the kitchen the Brit who married into the family was hiding in a cloud of steam, gently giggling to himself, these poor Americans had no idea what was about to hit them. A bag of potatoes had been boiled, cut in half and were now being gently rocked back and forth in a colander.
The women were looking at the wife wondering, WTF did you go and marry this guy for ? And why won't he answer any questions about what he is cooking ?
45 minutes before we are due to eat, the potatoes are placed in the oven, set at 325, basting in a bath of melted lard and drippings. After 15 minutes the oven door is quickly opened, the potatoes are quickly covered with the oil, 15 minutes later the door is again opened and the potatoes are turned over.
So 45 minutes pass, what comes out is a potato that is golden brown on the outside with a crispness to it while inside the potato is light and fluffy.... And totally ignored by everyone ! Heretics !
That is until the father in law becomes brave and decides to try one of these strange things his new son in law has produced.... Or it could of been his daughter kicking him under the table while not so subtly nodding at the bowl of potatoes, but he tries one, then ever so slowly reaches over and grabs the bowl and shovels a bunch of them on to his plate, the family is shocked, the strange new food is a hit with the old man, the Brit sits back with a little smile on his face.
Now the reason for that long story is...... If you are going to serve roast potatoes serve roast potatoes, not two little bits of potato that if I had to guess came out of a bag frozen, were quickly thrown through some oil and then put on a plate and served.
Yes doing it right is time consuming, yes it can be a bit of a pain, but if a chain in the UK can do it day in and day out serving thousands of meals a day,there is no reason why a little restaurant cannot get such an important part of the meal right.
For this reason and this reason alone they get marked down, is that mean, well no it's not.
Pretty excellent beer selection and good food options.
The food is honestly a bit pricey for what you get, but it part of the cost be being in such a great environment. The outdoor patio is really nice and great for pets. Late night, it's a perfect place to sit out and have a few beers in the warm, dark Vegas air.
I often recommend Crown & Anchor to both locals and tourists as a great place to get your night started or as a stop over on your way to a show.
As it is near the strip, be prepared for out of towners who have been hitting it too hard all day and locals who stop in to feel like they are in a Non-Vegas pub. It can get loud and if the wrong people get a hold of the jukebox, you're screwed.
There seems to be some kind of misconception, I believe, that British food is "bland," or otherwise lacking in flavor. Â While that may be true in the UK, it certainly isn't the case, here.
I don't get over to this place as much as I would like, and that's MY loss, because every time I dine here, I'm never disappointed. Â In fact, a fraternal/social group to which I belong, used to meet here every Friday night, about 10+ years ago. Â We had most of the upstairs section to ourselves.
I can recommend almost everything on the menu, as at one time or another, I've sampled most of the fare offered. Â I treated a total of 5 of my good friends there on June 13, 2012, and the total price for all 6 of us was under $100, so their charges are certainly reasonable.
But best of all, if I may be permtted a totally MALE observation, I definitely noticed the delightfully (and incredibly) SHORT Scottish kilts being worn by the female servers.
No joking guys, they all have LEGS TO DIE FOR.
I am sorry, but I sooooo wanted to like this place. Â I mean, what's not to like? Â It's a kitschy little bit o'Britain right on Tropicana in the middle of the freaking desert, how can you not like that?
Well, let's just say we stopped by their this afternoon for a wee bit o'food coming back from McCarran and oh my was I disappointed. Â
Now, there is no doubt they have an excellent selection of draught beers and I quite enjoyed my Belgian wheat beer, but sad to say, the Mrs, had an ice tea and she had to get a Sprite, because the tea tasted like water, yuck!
Anyway on to the food.  Again like another poster mentioned, the fish & chips were just kind of sad.  I mean here we are sitting in the middle of supposedly  Her Majesty's finest establishment expecting British excellence and the fish seemed like something that had been bought at a Costco. Â
OK, you are right, this is the middle of the Mojave Desert and there ain't no friggin' ocean anywhere near here, but come on, I have had better frozen fish at lots of places that are far from the sea.
Now on to my Ploughman's Lunch.  Oh, how I do like a Ploughman's plate, and to tell the truth they did do a wee bit better here than they do with the fish.  But the bread was dry and almost stale, and  the cheddar cheese tasted like something you'd buy at a supermarket.  Now the Stilton was a nice piece of cheese, though not the best bleu cheese I have had but not the worst either.  The tomato was fresh, but I was a bit expecting the beets to be pickled but they were just cold cooked beat slices.
Service was fine, though nothing spectacular. Â The young lass who served us did a good job, but she didn't provide excellent service, it was just kind of a step above adequate.
Again, I really wanted to like the place. Â The atmosphere is cool in a corny kind of a way. Â I am fond of kitsch, but if you are going for kitsch you also have to provide more than a semi cozy English pub type environment. Â You also need to have food that is going to live up to the hype, sadly the Crown & Anchor had the sizzle, but no steak.
Fell in love with this place the moment I heard someone say "football" instead of "soccer". After my experience watching a game here, this has to be one of the best spots in town to watch international football games.
Two of my girlfriends and I met up at C&A Pub to watch the England vs. Sweden game the other day. The place wasn't packed but there were still a lot of people who showed up to cheer for England.
If you plan on coming here to watch a game, be prepared to stand. Depending on how hardcore of a football fan you are, if you arrive an hour and half -- maybe even earlier than that -- before the game begins, you could probably grab a seat. You can choose to watch the game in the main bar area where there are three television sets on the walls and one large projector across from the bar. Or you can watch the game in a smaller room that has chairs as well as a projector.
I wish I could've tried one of their beers because I've heard they have a decent selection to choose from, but I was saving room in my belly for some Fish and Chips. Unfortunately, only burgers and fries were being served that day. *sadness* I'm unsure if they only do this for game days.
Lastly, because my friends and I sat by the stairs, I noticed several people walk into the kitchen thinking the restrooms were located beyond its doors. The restrooms are located past the bar and the dartboards, and down the hallway that's near the back exit. In case my directions don't make sense, there's a sign that reads "RESTROOMS" that's hung above the entrance to the hallway. I guess their sign is difficult to spot, especially if the bar area is packed and you're filled with Guinness up to your eyeballs.
Crown and Anchor Pub is a must visit if you're a fan of British Pub Culture. Even if you're not, you might just become a fan after a visit -- I know I did! I'll have to return some time soon -- preferably on a non-game day -- to try their Fish and Chips and beer.
Ever since my freshman year of college I have driven past this place literally hundreds of times and never gone inside. Â It wasn't until my junior year that I went with a few friends to have a drink at this quaint littler tavern, and oh my God was I surprised.
On the outside it seems like a sleepy little pub on the outskirts of London, but on the inside is anything but. Â The Establishment is divided into two main sections: a dining room and the bar area. Â My friends and I decided to get a bit to eat first and participate in drunken debauchery afterword (Just Kidding (*Wink)). Â
The dining room had the best of both worlds; the look and feel of an authentic British pub, with four huge Widescreen TVs on each corner of the room, blaring out endless sports center highlights from the day. Â The waitresses were dressed in skimpy little outfits and actually knew some of the girls on a personal level from school. Â The service was great, but not excellent. Â They were very nice to me and my buddies, probably because we were friends, but the service could improve if the hosts and waitresses would treat the other patron with the same level of costumer service.
The best part about his restaurant was the food.  I had Fish and Chips and I have to say that they were the best damn Fish and Chips I have ever had period.  I have been    here many time since then and I swear the food gets better every time.  They also have a huge selection of assorted British beers which I have to admit is pretty damn awesome.  Th food is great, the beer is great, the atmosphere is great, the girls are great, what more could you ask for in a bar?  I rest my case, Go to Crown and Anchor now!
I have been to Crown & Anchor a few times with friends. Â I guess I'm just far too old to be drawn into the hype, but I was not impressed. Â Perhaps if you just celebrated your 21st birthday and you want to get smashed, this is a good place for you. Â I'm not that person, so I just find the droves of college kids annoying. Â
I didn't take away stars for that preference, though. Â I took away stars for the food. Â What is everyone so hung up on here? Â I've done the whole fish & chips thing plenty of times in my life, and this doesn't even rate with me. Â I agree with a previous poster who said that the fish just seemed like it was frozen. Â I wasn't that into it. Â I guess I'm nuts, because a lot of people swear by the fish here. Â However, I've had better. Â I've had WAAAAAAY better in other cities, and I've even had better here in Vegas. Â
The service is slow if you order food. Â I do enjoy sitting outside on the patio, but if I'm paying to eat something, I don't wanna feel like I basically paid for the ambiance.
I know this is probably heresy but I have one word to sum up the crown and anchor: Meh.
I think to enjoy this place you need to be  A) in college and B) have never been to any other pub. Ever.
First off, I expect a pub to serve more than just beer and wine at the bar. To get hard alcohol (ie. Whiskey in my case) you have to sit in the dining area and order food. Â Someone cheaped out on a real liquor license and just doesn't care at this point.
Second, the fish + chips I've tried twice here and its completely lackluster. Not worth the hype. It tastes frozen. The chips were mealy, both times. Very middle of the road. Maybe they had a better chef or food distributor a while back when it got voted #1 in Vegas, but there's far better elsewhere.
The jukebox was a little bit crap too. I heard the Police greatest hits for a little too long. Then it was followed by 1990's euro trash techno. Very blah.
On the upside: great atmosphere, great room, nice pool tables. If you're a major beer drinker, then you'll love it. The whiskey drinker in me was disappointed by their liquor policy.
Get past the crowd of UNLV students, or just come during the off-hours of their typical hours of drinking, and overlook the often slow service.
Do these things and you will enjoy Crown & Anchor for what it is... an actual traditional British Pub in Las Vegas. I will be the first to admit I have never been to a real British pub, like say, in London, but hey if this is the closest I can get right now, so be it.
I suggest Fish and Chips and it is typically what I get when I come here, although I have had a few other selections, this is certainly my go to and it's good, EVERY TIME.It's fish, it's chips, it comes with great tartar sauce if you want it.
Not to mention the beer selection. It's works for me. I think everyone should come here at least once.
Recently enjoyed another dinner on their patio with my lovin' man. This time, we both were in a breakfast kind of mood, so went for the Gammon and Eggs. Gammon is similar to ham, but the British version is called gammon and is a bit milder than American ham, and the steaks are generally round in shape with a center bone. Eggs were cooked properly, although I wish our plates had been served a little hotter. Overall, another great meal at Crown & Anchor on Trop.
It was a great breakfast, and their great coffee worked beautifully with it to squelch our hankerin' for breakfast.
This place is the closest Las Vegas will get to a college bar. The place is modeled after an English pub situated in a large wooden hall. They have a variety of beers on tap and after you've had them all (all 30), they'll give you some kind of Crown and Anchor swag.
Thought it was kinda weird that the place was filled with seats. In other cities, a type of bar like this would also double as a club haha. That wouldn't fly in Vegas I suppose.
If you're a local and looking for a chill time with a very young and college scene, come here. No grimy old man pedos.
If you're a tourist and you've ventured this far from the strip, you'll find this place a comforting and unpretentious bar to pass the time.
Minus one star for the service which is also very collegy.
