The Anchor Pub Tenerife — Restaurant in Adeje

I'm giving this place 5 stars, but think, at the moment, it's really 4 stars, until they find their feet. Staff are lovely, drinks are reasonable during happy hour. Would be better if they served food as could stay longer (only crisps, nuts and sausage rolls). However, they do allow you to take food from nearby places and eat in the bar 👍. They have a fantastic Irish music festival on...shame they can't link up the sound system to play inside the bar though as you can't sit in the bar area and hear it...have to go downstairs. It is fab though. Cocktail training is needed as mine wasn't nice. I'd rather pay more for a nicer cocktail. All in all, I hope this bar does really well as it's trying very hard to please the customer. Views are lovely from upstairs.

Maybe need to get on the ABC Tenerife app to promote the bar as I didn't know you do music in the evenings etc. Found...

Visited twice over this holiday as we have been here on previous holidays and enjoyed it but this time was very different. Bar manager was very rude and abrupt on our first visit, we were shouted at and told to sit down. We were still trying to find a table to seat our party together but that didn't seem to matter even though we explained. When we did sit down he was back barking at us to get a order for drinks. We let it go as we thought he's having a bad night. The second time we called in for drinks after going to the excellent Bomba Babu next door only to be met with the same idiot and his bad attitude. We asked for the table to be cleared of the previous customers glasses to which he said no and to order at the bar. We gave up and left. The poor reviews are stacking up now so I guess it's time for some training for this man before you lose...

Very slow service. Drinks ordered as part of the same round arriving individually. Ignorant manager sent a waiter round demanding people pay their tab - when questioned why, "i don't know, just pay". We had been sat quite happily for an hour or so, and had ordered a few rounds up until this point, before unexpectedly being asked to pay up. Spoke to the manager and he couldn't understand why forcing an otherwise accumulating bar tab on customers might make them feel unwanted; we would have stayed (and drank) all night and enjoyed the guitarist they had booked if it wasn't for that. I explained that he had made us feel like he wanted us to pay up and get lost, but he didn't seem to care, so we paid up and left. Far better bars...
