Located in the heart of Darwen, The Anchor offers what every community pub should; a warm welcome, a great atmosphere and quality cask ales.

Our pub has a large and popular beer garden with large TV screens for those rare sunny days and a cosy, contemporary interior; perfect for enjoying a drink with friends and family. Our location makes us the perfect place for a drink after a match at Ewood Park, Darwen Cricket Club or Anchor AFC ground.

All live sport is shown on our many large screens so come and join us for a pint, whether it’s in commiseration or celebration! Live sports not your thing? We host many live music and entertainment nights; catch a band or partake in some charity fundraising, there is always something going on at The Anchor!

For those who just want to sit back and relax, we serve a great pint and atmosphere.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Lance, Melissa and the team.
