Any thoughts on the Anchor Bar in Beverly?

While enjoying an expresso martini at the Witch's Brew in Salem this weekend, the gentlemen next to me was raving about the Anchor Bar. So, i'm wondering is it worth the trip? My impression is that it's a dive bar with good food cheap?

Yup, it's a dive bar with decent cheap food. The owner has a lobster boat, so the lobster is as fresh as you're going to find. The sides are generally of the canned green beans variety, kind of "old people food", but the fish is fresh and good.
