Anchor Pub

Anchor Pub is the Ocean View Hotel’s pub and dining room, on Main Street at the Rocky Harbour waterfront. Inside, a long timber bar and window-side tables make it feel like a proper local pub; outside, the deck gives you an open view over the water. It is an easy choice when you want dinner to become part of the evening rather than another stop to rush through. The setting is the draw: a meal or drink with the harbour in view, especially as the light drops toward sunset.

The menu sticks to familiar pub food, with cod among the standouts. The handmade Anchor Pub Burger is the house signature; cod fish and chips and beer-battered cod tacos are two good options if you want seafood. There are local tap beers and wine as well. In summer, traditional live music and kitchen-party nights give the place a distinctly Newfoundland second act. It can be more lively than a quiet dinner room on those nights, so treat the music as a reason to linger rather than a fixed show to build a schedule around.

This is at 38–42 Main Street in Rocky Harbour, not a trail or a separate park-road detour. Choose the deck for water views and fresh air, or stay inside for the bar and dining room. The visitor listing notes 150 seats, free parking, Wi-Fi, takeout, a children’s menu and gluten-friendly choices, making it a flexible meal for a mixed group. Parking layout, restroom details and step-free access were not clear in the information checked; ask ahead if any of those will shape your visit.
