"A North Campus favorite since 1987, this beloved neighborhood pub nails the dive-bar burger formula. No bells and whistles — just a grilled patty made up of fresh, never frozen double-grinded beef and melted Swiss, American, or cheddar cheeses, plus add-ons like jalapeños, bacon, and mushrooms. Pair with fries, with the optional addition of melted cheese and ranch dressing, and a cold pint on the side. Diners can unwind on the pub’s spacious dog-friendly patio, which is often full of regulars who will claim it’s the best burger in town, or settle in inside, where there’s plenty of seating, pool tables, and dartboards — tournaments happen every Wednesday starting at 7 p.m. Best for: A burger with beer. With more than 30 crafted beers on tap and 30 canned varieties, Crown & Anchor features beer specials every day of the week. Catch happy hour prices on all draft beers from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily." - Darcie Duttweiler
