1350 E. Tropicana Ave. Free and located in front and on the side of the building. English and Irish pubs are springing up all over Vegas and Henderson by the boatload. In the face of this growth, the Crown and Anchor has maintained a calm, stately indifference that allows the two-level English pub to continue to be Vegas' least pretentious, yet most lively, watering hole. The crowd that gathers at the Crown every night is equal parts casino workers, local hipsters and UNLV students and faculty, and despite its size and boisterous nature, it may be one of the best-behaved bar crowds you'll ever mix with.
Live bands light a fire under the room on weekends.
We recommend that you check out local blues-rock powerhouse Mama Zeus, as we also recommend you sample the Crown's stocked menu. Try the Ploughman's Lunch, a platter of cheeses, fruit and bread that goes surprisingly well with heavy drink. You're likely to live at the Crown and Anchor for a few weeks. That's perfectly normal. If we had a nickel for every time we've bivouacked at the Crown and Anchor, we could buy Guinness.
