Anthem Ale House

Walk into Anthem Ale House on a Wednesday night and you will find the karaoke crowd in full swing, cold pints flowing, and plates of freshly breaded wings landing on tables across the room. We started with the Buffalo Chicken Dip, a molten bowl of shredded chicken folded into spicy buffalo sauce and three cheeses, scooped onto warm tortilla chips. The Blue Collar Burger followed, a towering stack of Angus beef crowned with blue cheese crumbles, applewood bacon, and caramelized onions that added a subtle sweetness to every bite. The surprise on the menu is the sushi program, an unexpected offering for a sports bar that actually holds its own against dedicated sushi spots in town. Twenty large-screen TVs keep every sight line covered during game nights, but the real draw here is the scratch kitchen turning out pub food that refuses to cut corners. Weekend brunch service pulls a neighborhood crowd that lingers over mimosa pitchers and breakfast tacos well past noon.
