    Enjoyed it. It was chill I went Saturday like at 5pm so it wasn't so many people I liked the patio area looked relaxing, The prices are very nice. Mixed drinks were very good 👍. Nice experience

    Paws down the best dog friendly bar in town. The outside patio is super spacious for ferocious tail wagging and the bartenders and staff are all top notch! This will always be my go-to place for a relaxed environment and guaranteed good time! If you love a variety of beers, delicious seasonal cocktails and The Strokes… Hope is the place to be!

    I had a great time with family and friends at this bar. Very nice atmosphere and not loud which I liked. They have a restaurant next door and the fried pickles are delicious. 😋

    This place seems to be a great inviting community for people who want to relax and sip on good drinks in a laid back atmosphere. The bartenders were friendly and knew their stuff. The clients where low key and just enjoyed the great atmosphere. I will definitely come here again to wind down after work and enjoy the sunset as the temperature cool off a few degrees.

    Love everything about this place. Everyone should feel comfortable, great music, great beer/cider/spirits and great food from Sabertooth. Will go back!.... July 2023 update - Same... a great bar with a really good restaurant partner next to it. Asher and the team are a tight group who make a hard business look easy. Please stop in and eat, drink, but always be safe.

    New management has preference for playing hip hop all night regardless of the crowd. Key tip to anyone serving as DJ is know your audience. Take a look at the crowd pics and decide for yourself if this is your typical hip hop group or fans. Another item to note, if you visit during the hot days or nights, they don't run AC on the inside and the outdoor patio lacks any form of misters. Beyond that, it's still a nice place to relax to standard beer or cocktails with either your date, family, or friends no matter how large or small the party. Added bonus is you can now order food from Sabertooth restaurant which offers quicker service than the Hope Anchor staff themselves.

    Fun bar and really cozy. Sometimes they have markets there where local vendors sell their goods.

  • 5/5 Vanessa M. 2 years ago on Google
    Came during lunch hour this Saturday, and had a great time. The food is so satisfying, and the selection on tap is never disappointing. Came with my family and our server Gina kept us happy even with a very busy patio. They are kid friendly before 7pm as well as dog friendly. Will definitely be returning again!!

  • 5/5 Mariza V. 4 months ago on Google
    The food is from Sabertooth, connected to Hope and Anchor, and is very delicious. Personally, Hope and Anchor is a place for a younger crowd. It's too loud for my boyfriend and me, but the atmosphere is awesome, and the bartenders are very friendly and attentive.

  • 5/5 AJ M. 9 months ago on Google
    Friendly staff, great selection of draft beers and cocktails, expansive and varied seating. Music selection is especially 🔥

    Such a nice diverse crowd here, really cool and great music, service is on point and very friendly, I love the patio and that weird vending machine that you have to check out if you like obscure random stuff

  • 4/5 Gonzalo V. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice patio. Sabertooth next door serves good food in their little spot and also to the Hope and Anchor patrons. Food and drinks are a great combo.

  • 5/5 Trish S. 1 year ago on Google
    Charming dive bar with great drink selection and even better bartenders. Smaller inside than outside but there’s an outside bar with heaters. Attached micro restaurant is separate but serves food to the bar. 👌

  • 5/5 Wesley L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly staff, great variety of drinks and specials, and the place truly feels like home! I first stumbled upon Hope and Anchor a year ago and fell in love with the aesthetic, the vibes, and the restaurant next door (Sabertooth) was one of the reasons I’ve decided to come back. They are also very involved in supporting our local community and they are a safe bar to hangout and to make new friends.

    Atmosphere ✔️ Drinks ✔️ Friendly bartenders ✔️ Patio ✔️ Next to a food place ✔️ (this one closes early) Nice place to hang out.

  • 5/5 Mandy B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of my fav bars in EP. After a few yummy drinks, hit up the Sabertooth restaurant next door. You won't regret it.

  • 5/5 Erik E. 1 year ago on Google
    Great drinks and great food available next door

  • 5/5 Shankar P. 1 year ago on Google
    I like the place. I love the food and service. A good place to hang over with friends.

  • 4/5 Philip S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a pretty popular bar in El Paso. It's a patio bar. It does have a restaurant called Sabertooth attached and an inside area of the bar. The prices are right and the atmosphere is very mellow.

  • 5/5 Bruce Y. 1 year ago on Google
    This bar is one of my favorite after hours places to chill and relax. The patronage is eclectic but compatible. The drinks are well-made, the beers are cold, and the food from Sabretooth next door, conveniently delivered, is fabulous. The next time you do not know where to go out for good time, try Hope & Anchor. I will bet that you will become part of the fan base, too.

  • 4/5 Sandra C. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve never had the food here but have stopped for drinks. This place has a very relaxed atmosphere but it’s fun. The bartenders are fast and attentive. There’s plenty of seating inside and out. It’s a good place to have some drinks with friends in a chill environment.

  • 5/5 Gabriel Ponce (. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down best dive bar in El Paso, servers are nice and helpful, food at the saberthoot it’s amazing too

  • 5/5 إيزيس G. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome place. We were all wasted but had a good time.

  • 4/5 Jason J. 7 years ago on Google
    Great food and atmosphere. The outdoor Commons area with bean bag and ping pong games is an added pleasure. You will probably need to go to the bar during slow times to order drinks and food.

  • 5/5 M A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great craft beer selection. If they don’t have the specific beer or style you’re looking for bartenders are knowledgeable and can offer a greatly comparable alternative. Whether coming in a large party or with a couple friends it’s always a great time. Noticed some comments saying table service was lacking. If you’re want table service go to a restaurant. When at a bar you should order at the bar. They’re BARtenders not TABLEtenders.

  • 5/5 Matthew R. 2 years ago on Google
    When I go out, I like to be able to have a good conversation and listen to good music. Thank God, Hope and Anchor exists. So many bars like to blast music to do slight damage on your eardrums, but whether you’re inside or out, the music is at a comfortable level to vibe and converse. The staff is amazing and kind, their be fun theme days to participate in. Idk, I could go on and on. But don’t waste your time. Go to this bar. Please
