Plans have been finalized for a new restaurant and adjacent dog park in the OKSea project.


The proprietors of the popular restaurant and bar The Mule in the Plaza District will be opening Anchor Down in the shipping-container complex and patrons will soon be able to sit on the patio and watch their dogs frolic in a fenced dog park.


The restaurant will feature gourmet corn dogs with batters and sauces made from scratch. Several varieties will be offered from wild boar to turkey to a more traditional versions. New choices will be regularly rotated into the menu. Freshly made chips and veggie chips will be the primary sides.

Anchor Down is also planning signature beer cocktails where liquors will be mixed with brews in ways that will balance both flavors. In addition, the restaurant will feature 14 beers from a custom tap system, many more in cans as well as a full bar.

The large patio that faces the dog park will be especially dog-friendly itself with custom water bowls and other features for man's best friend.

With a cozy interior capacity of approximately 40, there will be double that seating on the large patio.

The targeted opening date for Anchor Down is mid-May and they will join an ever-growing number of restaurants and bars in Deep Deuce including Slaughter's Hall, WSKY, Urban Johnnie, Deep Deuce Grill and Native Roots.

Residential projects continue to boom in the area, with Maywood Phase II and Mosaic under construction and set to join Level, Maywood I, the Deep Deuce Apartments and several condominium projects including The Hill, which has been selling new units at a rapid pace.
