Anchor Up Club & Grill — Restaurant in Denison

EDIT: after reading the owners response... I absolutely did show my Active duty military ID and that's what started the issue on the original night in question. I have my state ID but instead of being asked for that I was told to "get the f**k out". I also went back (and used my state ID) and talked to the owner who told me he has the right to refuse service for any reason, including using my military ID. So which is it, you accept it "but I didn't produce it" or "I must show state ID"? TABC states that a government issued ID is an acceptable form of identification. Ignorance is not an excuse for the law. Now you're just trying to save face and blatantly lying about the whole situation. I tried to be cordial and reasonable but obviously nothing is going to work. Best of luck with your business. Not only refused me service because I had an active duty military ID but the bartender starting cussing at us and then a patron got involved and started threatening us. I remained calm and tried to explain that it was a valid government ID but was only met with more conflict. Would give less than 1 star if possible. Do not plan...

This is what I call a dive bar, but it's not a bad connotation. It's small, older, and worn but the people and amenities were wonderful. Just needs some TLC and a deep cleaning. One bartender with a large crowd made for a little wait time, but it was tolerable. If you can't handle cigarette smoke, stay away. Smoking is still allowed in this bar. Not sure if they sell food or have a menu. There was a football watching group and 2 patrons who brought some good food that was free for everyone. We were hoping for a dart board as mentioned on a website, but they didn't have one. We played shuffleboard instead. They also have 2 billiard tables and an outdoor seating area that we did not explore. Water was shut off in that whole neighborhood during our visit It was interesting but didnt cause any major issues...

Came in, looking for a bite to eat and something to drink. Tiffany, the bartender served up a mean, Jim Beam, and Coca Cola. The music on the jukebox was right. Was given the recommendation to eat a pork chop cooked by Sarah who is a complete gem. It did not disappoint. In fact, it was the best pork chop. I’ve had in years.

Life is good y’all. And these ladies are to thank. If the owners are reading this, you should definitely give...
